lucid

My friend Erin and I get out of the car it's probably 2 or 3 am..
We park unusually close to a warehouse club we frequent every saturday night. There is usually a crowd of 25-50 outside, hipster kids.
I only spot a few strays and it's silent, already I know something's up.
I'm noticing it's dirty and the floor plan is odd. Then I'm being, in some way, aggresively handled or grabbed by 2+ males,one definitely had a handlebar mustache. Then I begin spinning as if I'm seated on chair. It became faster and more violent, I become completely aware that I am asleep on the couch bracing my self with both arms. This is something new for me, to be almost simultaneously experiencing a percieved obe without fully "leaving" my dream experience. Finally I wake up on the couch trying to calm my breathing, feeling very relieved. Then I touch my eyes because they feel strange and tight. I see blood on my fingers and begin to panic. I run down the hall to the bathroom, I remember to pay close attention to the lightswitch as it brings no results. I feel relieved, briefly. I wake up on the couch again, this time a strange terrifying being is right beside me on the floor. I make a run for it, it's very aggressive and won't allow it. I start to feel exhausted. I wake myself up again, on the couch, I decide to go to my brother's room for some comfort/sanity. However when I arrive my voice is gone this time I become violent and frustrated (so I belive is why) scaryblurry guy comes back. I wake myself up again, couch, I wait......I hear the washing machine. Normal...until it becomes a loud ear piercing terrifying noise. This false awakening continues twice more before I truly wake up with other household appliances.

Last night, I did have a dream, or was it early morning? I'm not sure. I'm really going crazy wanting a lucid dream, but I had another of my terrible husband dreams instead. I keep getting those. Don't know why. He really isn't THAT terrible!

Joe, my husband, refused to pay a bill in the dream, and I was so mad that I started attacking him. I actually bit him, and just went crazy! I bit his lip hard. I bit his arm. I demanded that he apolygize. LOL. He refused! Man, was I mad! Funny thing is, he woke me up this morning and I was still ready to do some damage. He couldn't understand why I was staring him down! Of course, I'm a bit more calm in my waking life, so, no cops were involved. Just kidding. He was like "What'd I do?" It did take me an hour or so to not feel the anger I felt in my dream. Isn't it funny how real those dreams can be? You can get confused upon waking.

Now, my first lucid that I actually was able to make happen was about a week ago. I looked around in my dream and suddenly, not sure how, I was aware! I started jumping up and down! "Yay, I'm in a dream" I think that is what I said but something along those lines. I was too excited! I woke up! "Oh man!"

Now, I am still working on it. I think that the next one I get, I will try and keep calm.

i had a very brief moment of lucidity in this dream where i spoke to a gay black man
realized that i was in a dream and began to stroke my arm and rub my hands, but not long after that, i lost control and the rest of the dream focused on the gay black man trying to make it as a news journalist
i don't even know anymore

Ok, yesterday I took a nap and had a lucid...this is what it was.
I was outside my house. Everything was colored sepia (you know, that brownish color) and I just immediatly knew i was dreaming. I saw a madman running after me with a knife. He looked like Basta from Inkheart... anyway, I jumped into the air and screamed "I will have wings!!!!!!!" but I didnt, I stayed in the air a prolonged time, hovered, I suppose, and then fell. "Basta" was still after me, so I tried again, failing once more. I told myself I wanted to wake up because he was gaining on me and i woke up.

I went back to sleep soon after that and I dreamed this:
I was again in my front yard, in the same place. It was still sepia colored. A man and a woman walked up to me, they seemed familiar, but I know I've never seen them before. The lady had blonde hair and blue eyes. She wore a white sundress. The man was dressed in a T-shirt and jeans. They had two adult dogs, both on leashes, and many little puppies that seemed to be about 1/2 a year old. I asked them what their dogs' names where and they said, "These two are called Zelda and Link. These are their puppies." I stared at them for a while, grinning. In the back of my mind I kept wondering why I thought I knew them. Then I woke up.

And here is last night's dream.
I was in my room, I think. It was dark and filled with water. There was a huge whale-like thing which I belive was Kyogre the legendary Pokemon. I was afraid of it and I ran. I stared in disbelief as it followed me, it seemed to talk, but I don't remember what it said. The "Kyogre" bared its "teeth" or whatever they were. It looked at me as I sat on my bed, which was totally submerged in water, just like me and the Kyogre. Everything was blue and then suddenly a red thing appeared. Which I belive was my mind's idea of a realistic Groudon. The "Groudon" and "Kyogre" vanished and I woke up.


So, yeah, please comment!!!

I joined this site some time ago 'cause it's really awesome. I havent’t posted my dreams because i didn't need to. I had lucid dreams since i was 14 and i knew nothing about lucid dreaming or dream control... now i'm 19, but now i kinda feel to write them down somewhere.

1. I was skydiving, but underneath me was water. I opened my parachute at the right time and seconds before reaching the water i was jumping again from the plain. I thought this time would be better to throw away the parachute. I did it and i was going down with a lot of speed. When i felt the water, split second before the impact i woke up with an awful headache.

2. A small village in the mountains, there i was... in the whole village were very few houses ( 4-5 ) and a church. I walked into the church and i saw some friends of mine and other people i don't know. I also saw a really big and old stove. I opened it and a little girl came out screaming and laughing hysterically. She ran away, climbed onto a table and continued to laugh. Her eyes turned red and began to burn brightly. her family was in there and her little brother started to run towards her. She fixed him with her eyes, raised her hand and the little child began to levitate. When she closed her fist he began to suffocate. When her brother was dead, she looked at me and tried the same thing. I don't know why but i started to say "light as a feather, stiff as a board" and i was ok. Then i looked around the room and i saw a really tall man, dressed up in black and wearing a mask. He was sitting in the middle of the room looking at the girl. I thought he is controlling her. I took off his mask (i can't remember his face) and i started punching him in the face with a lot of anger. The girl screamed like the devil himself and then i woke up...

Fight in the building after the concert!! (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Sorry for not updating this as usual. I am a little busy lately and I dream a lot, lol, so I am always behind. However, I find this dream a priority to post. Everytime I teach the second class for MILD, I announce a lucid task to my students. I always like to complete such task right after assigning it as an example.

This one is one of the long lucids I had tonight:

The dream started in a concert. I woke up around 2am, visited the restroom and had a glass of water. As I was falling asleep, I silenced my mind and visualized heavy metal concert. I kept the image in my head and visualized myself posting the dream for my students. I told myself I must had the dream so my students could read it. The concert was crowded, there were a lot of lights and the music was... not loud at all! I realized I was dreaming as I had no plans to go to a concert and the music volume was very low, which did not make sense, specially for a heavy metal concert. I told to myself that I successfully induced the lucid dream and appeared at the concert.
I always need to fly to make my dream stable. So I did, I flew to the stage and landed next to the stars. They were random characters and they pretty much ignored me. I saluted all the DC that were dancing, but nothing of a big deal happened. The task was complete so I decided to take off and fly away. I shattered the ceiling and appeared in another building. I was in an office like room with a lot of important people having a reunion.

All people wore business professional suits and they were very well groomed. There was a guy who wore dirty clothes and was not properly shaved. A guy asked me if I had aggressive goals in life. I agreed and he told me that it was great. After a short time of random chatter, a guy asked someone, "Did you fill form A?" They guy replied he did. Then, the same guy asked me, "Did you fill form A?" I replied, "Form A? What is that? Why I am wasting my dream here anyway!" He looked at me and said, "What the hell are you talking about? You do not belong to this office! Get out of here immediately, you imbecile!" For some reason I got wiped out from the building and slightly felt double consciousness. However, I do not get kick out from dreams easily, so I took a small flight and recovered the dream. I was outside the building and I could see the guys chatting and eating something. I created a fireball with my hands and threw it at the windows of the building. The fire started to grow, but only from the outside, so I decided to throw a stone to the windows. I could not find one, so I created an ice-ball with my hands and broke the windows. The fire grew more, but people did not appear to care.

I decided to fly and stand next to the window. When the suited guys saw me, they started to freak out. Suddenly, the S.W.A.P. force appeared and started to shot at me with no mercy. I did not feel a bit of pain. I created an energy blast and wiped out most of the building. I saw a big whole in the building and approached it. Some DC placed a special indestructible window. I could not break it, so I decided to melt into it, and walk through. I was successful, half of me walked through, but then the crystal vanished.

I saw a guy sitting next to the window and grabbed his arm, in order to throw him away. I noticed it was the President, so I released his arm and I said, "Mr President! I won't hurt you!" Suddenly, another guy laughing came and said, "Do you want to share this food with our President?" I figured it could be poisoned and it could wake me up somehow. I flew away from the building and decided to go to the top. I planned to step on the edge of the building and fall on my back in order to wake up. I planned to not move to induce trance right away and Astral Project. However, I decided to have a small flight again. The sky was covered in clouds but I saw some blue spots. I love to fly with a sunny sky. I flew through the clouds. I could feel the coldness of the clouds and I started to loose the dream. I hopped to get to the blue sky (blue sky usually anchors me to the dream) but I saw a big and dense endless gray mass of clouds.

I had a false awakening in a random room. I exited the building and I was in a very weird and abandon neighborhood. I turned lucid again as I did not recognize the place. There were a few random actors, some of them, were cyborgs in boxes. As I approached them, they all walked towards me and asked me if they were going to be in the next movie. I said, "Well.. this is no movie. This is a dream, see?" I rose my hand and pointed my fingers, "One, two, three, four, five and six! This finger here is thinner and longer." One of them replied, "All right, that is so cool!" He shook my hand and offered me a cigarette. I said no. I then walked towards a small alley and another DC approached me and offered me other cigarette. I was curious to taste lucidly one, so I accepted. He tried to lit the cigarette with two stones. I decided to create a flame the same way the Pyro guy from X-Men does. I moved my fingers and a small flame came. I lighted my cigarratte and lighted his. I somehow gave him the flame and he burnt his finger. He complained about it. Suddenly, I felt my cats in bed running and I woke up.

Lucid with the Boys
Recall: 6/10
Sleep: Poor
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm with the hometown boys when I become lucid. I tell Rosein that he's dreaming, and we all befin to fly. I head off on my own, flying above the trees at night and get separated from the rest of our group. I consider going back to them, but figure they were just dream characters anyways so I continue my solo flight. I'm flying pretty fast and enjoying the rush when Rosein flies up to me.

We fly off and land in a house where we both pick up scissors. I brandish my scissors and grin at Rosy, indicating I want to fight since it's only a dream. He looks a little nervous and says "I'd rather not, just in case." I figure that's probably a good idea, since with my knowledge of dream control, I would completely own him.

The last thing I remember is yelling at the boys "You guys better remember this!"

I'm not really in touch with those guys anymore, so I suppose it would be weird if I contacted them asking about their dreams.

The Zombie Nuke
Recall: 7/10
Sleep: Poor
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm in a field at night, and it's crawling with zombies. There are some Russian secret service there, with one guy who looks like Dolph Lundgren. The zombies are chowing down on people all around me, and I fight off a few and make it to a jeep in the middle of the field. I get into the jeep and lock the doors. Zombies try to get in, but I pull a blanket over myself so they can't see me and go to sleep until morning.

I wake up and the zombies have cleared out, so I run for the road. There is almost no traffic at all except for a few survivors driving like maniacs to try and get away from the zombies. A few zombies begin to lurch towards me, so I run for it, and end up getting captured by the Russians.

The Russians lead me into a building with a nuclear bomb they are going to detonate. I'm not sure if the bomb is to deal with the zombies, or is just an attack. Either way it's not good. The Russian's superiors end up betraying them and leaving them do die in the nuclear blast. Faced with their own demise, they forget about me and I get away. Away from them, but how can I get away from a nuclear explosion?

I run around desperately trying to find shelter from the imminent explosion. And then it happens, sort of. Instead of a huge blast, there is instead this weird pulse in the sky. The pulse knocks the blade off a ceiling fan which flies down and embeds it's self deep in my shoulder like a machete. I barely feel anything since I'm preoccupied with finding shelter from the shock wave I'm expecting. But no shock wave come, just more of those weird pulses, and then it's over.

I stagger out into the street and everything is destroyed. I go into a building with a few survivors where I encounter two girls I know from college. Luckily for me they have medical knowledge and try to help with my massive shoulder injury.

Dream - Lucid

I was at a pool with Ryan and someone else. It was dusk, and continued getting darker and colder outside. We weren't supposed to be there. If we stayed and/or got back in the pool, we'd never be allowed to come back. The seasons were also changing. I needed help getting a raft out of the pool, so I asked Ryan to help me. He helped me to get it out, and we ran off through the woods, with him in front of me. We were laughing as we ran.

Then, we came across one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. There were glistening waterfalls everywhere, reflecting different colors, and they were running backwards. In the middle of the dreamscape, there was one big waterfall with a huge shimmering sphere on the top. The sky looked like dawn. I was awestruck. It was beautiful. This description doesn't even do it justice. I heard a voice, it sounded like the narrator from Little Big Planet. It said something like this:

"You see? The only difference between us is that it's not hard for us. It's more difficult for you."

The voice was very calm and comforting.

I was at my friend Courtney's family's house. We were in the living room with her two younger brothers. The living room looked like it did when we were in middle school. Courtney said something about wanting to go to my place later because she wanted to smoke weed. Well, that was a problem, because I didn't have any weed. I stopped smoking it. So Courtney asked one of her brothers, Tyler, if he had any. He said yes, so she went to get it.

She came back with a baggie of weed, but it looked like raw spinach leaves. She took a handful and put it in a vase of water, and put whipped cream on the top. Apparently, this was supposed to get you high if you sat near it and just kind of smelled it for awhile. So that's what we did, and it did get us high.

~

I was looking at my friend Bret's Facebook page. I saw pictures of him and his older sister. She was graduating college, and he was with her in the pictures, looking very sad. She was apparently graduating from Brown University. She had a red cap and gown on in the pictures. I think he wanted the honor of graduating from Brown. His sister looked like she was trying to cheer him up in the pictures. I wrote on his wall, recollecting a "memory" of us doing lots of drugs together, and how much fun we had had.

~

I was at a coffee shop, I think it was Einstein's (a coffee and bagel shop). It was very crowded, and I was sitting with my friends Sara, Sarah, Leigh, and Stephanie at a booth. The waiter, a man with short, curly hair, resembling a customer that frequents the shop I work at in waking life, came up to our table to take our orders. I ordered a small cappucino and a sandwich. The waiter told me that they were out of small cups...all they had left were larges. I told him alright, give me a large, but just fill it halfway up and charge me for a small, because there was no way I could drink a large. He left to go fill our order. I watched him go to this big bar in the middle of the shop, where they did all their cooking and drink building.

We all sat around and talked for awhile, and it seemed like our order was taking forever. Finally, the waiter came back with our drinks. He placed a small mug in front of me that was only half full. He left before I could say anything about it. Everyone else's orders were correct. I also didn't have the sandwich I had ordered. Stephanie offered me some of her tomato basil soup, but I said no thank you, and that I had eaten that for lunch that day. I got up to get my drink corrected.

Then, I was outside, and there was a huge line of people dressed in Renaissance clothing, all waiting to get into Einstein's, but they were all waiting outside not a shop, but an area full of tents. The sky was cloudy. I approached the manager, a bigger Indian or African man with light brown skin. He was also dressed in Renaissance clothing. I said hello, and he shook my hand. I told him I had a complaint, and he told me to follow him to his tent. We went up to his tent, and I told him about the drink mishap. He nodded and listened. Every time I looked at him, his skin got darker and darker.

I don't remember what he said, but he seemed...off. Like he had something up his sleeve. I realized I was dreaming, but kept talking to him. Then, as I got up to leave, I decided to take control of the dream. I examined my hands to induce clarity. I started to float upwards, but then, I remembered one of my lucid goals: To talk to a dream character. I turned around, and said,

"You know what? This is a dream!"
He didn't seem to believe me, so I kept talking. I decided to ask him some questions.
"What's 2+2?", I asked.
"4!", he replied.
"Ok, what's my middle name?"
"Nicole!", he replied.
I continued,
"Now how could you know that if we just met today? How could you possibly know my middle name?"
He got very flustered, and said
"Uh, um...uh...because...because..."
I finished for him.
"Because you're a projection of my subconscious!", I said triumphantly.

I decided to get out of the tent by floating up through the top of the tent. I flew up, and started to tear through the burlap of the tent. I felt how real the burlap felt. I tore through layers and layers of it, and then everything went black, and I woke up.

non dream - lucid - non lucid

I’m at a hotel, with my parents. (The hotel has some resemblance to a place an Italy and to a cruise ship I’ve been on in waking life. Most of it is random though)
A few things happen… there’s a discussion with my parents… (the dream skips a few minutes ahead)
I’m following my parents downstairs. The stairs have an odd flow to them. We seem to be leaving the hotel.
I notice my parents are dressed for a fancy dinner, but I’m wearing shorts and a t-shirt. I ask my dad if I should be dressed. He says yes.
I’m annoyed that no one told me and I decide to go back to my hotel room to get changed.
On my way back I end up in some kind of a 2 floor high lobby room connecting different hotel rooms together. The structure makes little sense.
I want to go to the second floor, but the only way up is to jump onto some kind of indoor sunshade which is attached to the edge of the second floor.
I try to pull myself up but I notice the thing can barely carry my weight, I risk breaking it. Some people enter the lobby.
I feel like I look stupid and could get into trouble for breaking the thing, so I let go and push it back in its original position.

I'm confused, and look around for another way to get to the second floor.
There's a small bench in the middle of the room I'm currently in, and a young women is sitting there reading a book.
I want to ask her how to get to the second floor and approach her.
One of the hotel rooms on the current floor opens, 2 girls run our, and they leave the door wide open.
Why did they do that?
The girl from the bench gets up and looks at me: "follow me"
She starts approaching the room where the door was left open.

I follow her into the room, but I'm not really sure why.
She tells me to sit on the bed. I suddenly become aroused, but it feels weird. Something is wrong but I can't tell what it is.
She sits on my lap, just looking at me and smiling. I try to focus on figuring out what's currently happening, and suddenly I can think clearly.

I can feel my energy being drained, she's absorbing it, and judging by the look on her face, she's enjoying it quite a bit. A succubus?
I'm not amused. I send a sudden surge of energy her way. She can't absorb it this fast and jumps up in pain.
I stand up and get into a defensive position.

"How the hell did you do that? Nobody can do this, there is no way you know!"

I think I understand what she's saying. She's never met a lucid dreamer, she doesn't know that you can resist when you're lucid.
Feeling superior, I decide to play mind games with her.

"You're quite young, aren't you?"

"Screw you! This is impossible!"

I act amused and laugh at her, like she's a little child not fully understanding how the world she's in is working.
Obviously I have nearly no idea myself, but I don't show this to her.
She's pissed, and I can clearly feel her projecting thoughts my way.
She's trying to make me fall in love with her, and let her do whatever she wants to me.
The feeling is strong, she grows more attractive every second.

But I know what's happening, and manage to focus.

"Kiss me!" she says, absolutely certain that she managed to control me.

"No."

She jumps back furious and confused.
I laugh at her again.

"You better not try this again in the future young one."

She's scared. She draws a portal, gives me another quick look and flees through it.
I contemplate following her for a second but the portal closes behind her.

The dream fades away...

I was in a living room lying on the floor smoking a cigarette (something I've been quit for over two years now). I turned to my friend who was lying beside me, stumped the cigarette out and gave him the packet of 20 cigarettes because I was dissapointed in my self for smoking. I got up, went to sit on the couch and started to watch the TV. At this point I got wind that I might have been in a dream, but I wasn't entirely sure so I decided to do my most common reality check (looking away and looking back). Since I had turned my attention away to my friend who I gave the packet of cigarettes to I looked back at him and I noticed he had a 10 pack of a different brand, at first I thought it was a good indication of a dream however I thought to my self that he might have simply put the 20 pack I gave him away and the ones I was looking at were his 10 pack, so I turned my attention to the TV.

One the TV was an advert, it was of a family in a kitchen, advertising what, I don't know. As I watched the TV advert it looked like any TV advert would look in real life, people were speaking coherent sentences (unfortunately I don't remember what words were said), everything made sense and no matter how many times I looked away when I looked back at the TV it continued playing just where it left off. I even looked around the room at the people who were with me, some sitting on chair/couch, some siting at a dining table and again no matter how many times I looked away, when I looked back everything was just how I left it.

I was confused, really confused, for the first time in my life I was absolutely convinced it was reality. I sat there for a moment and thought to my self; I tried to remember how I got there and I couldn't (this unfortunately didn't act as a reality check as all other checks seemed to override it). My reality was a mess, I had no memory, I was completely lost, the world I once knew was no more and I had no idea what my place in this world was. Eventually I just accepted it and said to my self "this is reality," at which point one of the dream characters looked at me and laughed, as if to say "of course it's reality, stupid!"

I turned to my cousin who sat beside and asked him if he wanted to leave, to which he replied yes. He got up from the couch and when he stood up I put my hand out to him as if to help me up. He just looked at me, I said to him "help me up please," to which he replied "get up your self you lazy bitch!" This wasn't normal behaviour for him, the confusion set in again and I started to get angry. I shoved him and he shoved me back, so I grabbed ahold of him and pushed him right into the TV which was still playing just as coherently as it was before, untill the screen smashed.

I turned to the people sat at the dining table and they looked at me like I was crazy, I started to question the people I was with and it became too much for me. As much as I was willing to accept reality, I had to do one final check and try to wake my self up, it was the only way I was going to find out for sure what was reality. I woke my self up...

Lovely, had my first lucid dream today, (25-01-11) while I had a free period. After setting an alarm, so I wouldn't get late for my next class, and making the guy in the other room turn the volume of his crappy music down, I descended into sleep. I was in a small apartment or hotel room with my parents, and I was going to the bathroom, then I noticed that there was a toilet, only the inside of the toilet was outside the toilet? (weird) and I soon after realised that I was dreaming, and to test this, I made my parents disappear, and they did. Lovely! But since this was my first time, I did not have much control, and I didn't really do much things myself. But I did manage to summon a pretty girl to snog on I only came to that, cause I began to lose more and more control of it, and the dream started to blur out (or maybe my expectations of it bluring out, made it do it). I tried the spinning technique, and it worked.. kinda. I managed to hold the dream a little longer, but it was too late. When I finally awoke, I realised that it was just about the time that my alarm was set to, and quite right, only bout 20 seconds later, my alarm started to sound. Perhaps my inner clock knew that I had to leave for class about now?

I wake up in my room, except its from the previous house I used to live in. I'm nonlucid so I accept whats going on as reality, but then I try something that really has had me confused since having the dream. I lay down and close my eyes and try to induce a WILD. I see some HI behind my dream eyes and I even start to get heavy vibrations go up and down my spine, then I get a rushing feeling go to my head (and like in previous WILD attempts) I hear a white noise and an odd "ping!" sound when I know i've made it inside the dreamworld. Except this time instead of the "ping!" noise, it was actually the sound of getting a coin in a Super Mario game, more precisely from Super Mario Galaxy where you hear the sound come from the little speaker in the Wii controller. I mean, exactly, like that.

I then find myself in a black abyss where a dream forms and I'm playing a new Mario game I've never played before, it was really fun actually, it felt light years beyond any console game I've played. It was a strange mix of first person, side scrolling, and 3D platformer at the same time? This whole time I'm completely in control and "lucid" in the sense that I knew I was dreaming... I just didn't know I was already in a dream to begin with and there was no need to WILD in the first place! So I guess it was semi-lucid.

Anyway it was lots of fun. Well, up until Bowser killed me and as soon as he did, I woke up. But not in real life, but rather in the bed and that old room I used to live in. Still of course convinced, that I'd woken up and thinking "aw man, what a short WILD".

Looking back at it now, I understand the argument brought up by Inception (and of course before it as well, on this forum) between those who believe that layered dreams are real and those who think its just that we perceive them to be layered but are in fact just one dream. I'd like to say there's no such thing as layers, but after having experienced it myself, it's a fascinating idea and it felt pretty convincing, but I'm undetermined until I have more practice and experience with the subject.

DELETED

Non Dream Dream Lucid

Ok, I actually remembered bits of quite a few dreams this morning, so I'll enter them all in sections.

Dream 1: False Awakening
Not much to tell really. I woke up and sat down at my desk. I opened my dream journal to write something in it, but it was full, so I went back to bed. This should have called a RC but it didn't. When I actually woke up and opened my DJ it wasn't full, and i realised that before was a False Awakening.

Dream 2: Tenacious D
I am listening to the studio version of "The Metal" by Tenacious D on my music player. I remember that I have the live video version of this song as well, so I find it and play the video over the top of of the studio version. Obviously some of the lip syncing isn't perfect. I remember Jack and Kyle (the band members) having some rather comical expressions on their faces in the high bits, kinda like in a cartoon.

The scene changes; it is still the same dream, though. I am envisioning a pair of siamese twins, joined down their sides. They are wearing a double guitar - one guitar with two necks and two sets of strings. They are playing one each. (I think "The Metal" is still in my head but I can't remember) Suddenly I realise it would be cooler if one of the necks was a bass guitar; the top one changes to a bass neck, longer and with four strings. Then I realise it would be even better if the twins were joined back to back, and each was playing their part of the guitar - this happens as well. That's all I remember of that dream.

Dream 3: Hustle
That evening I had watched the lastest episode of Hustle, a TV drama about a group of 5 con-artists.
I am the young man from Hustle. We've just pulled off a successful con with and we're choosing where to go and celebrate. We're looking at a map; the woman we pulled the con with suggests a chateau in France that she knows, but I decide on Turkey.

Scene change - we are on a bridge in Turkey. The view is fantastic and we are leaning against the side, sipping champagne. The three other men look the same as in the TV show, but the woman is different - the one in my dream is a brunette and has freckles. We are arranged in a line looking over the road and out into the water beyond. The three men are on the left, then the brunette woman, then me, then the woman we pulled the con with. One by one, the three men make their excuses and leave, exiting to my right hand side. The woman to my left crouches down to have a look at the map in my hand. The other woman makes her excuse and leaves; the woman to my left starts to suck my fingers slowly. I look down and realise she is actually fairly attractive. I am contemplating what is probably about to happen when the dream ends

Dream 4: The (Short) Lucid!
I remembered this happening as I woke up. I really don't remember very much at all, but I do remember being Lucid and being in a classroom full of schoolfriends; a recurring feature in my Lucids so far.

Dreamsigns

• Dream Journal being Full
• Playing video over music on my player
• Tenacious D's comical expressions
• Siamese Twins
• The Double Guitar (recurring)
• Characters from Hustle
• Being in a Classroom

Being in a Classroom has been the subject of four of my lucids; the other was walking to a class. Unfortunately this is a very inconvenient dreamsign as I am a student and spend over half my waking life in a classroom.
