Non-lucid Lucid
January 16, 2011:
I went to bed around 2:00am. Before going to sleep I reviewed the day's events in reverse. I woke up around 6:35am, and put a ring on my left hand. As I was going back to sleep, I repeated the mantra "I will lucid dream," in a singing chant (in my head, obviously). I fell asleep on my back, became lucid in a dream and had a series of three or four lucid dreams. I woke again at 7:05am

I was in a store that had lots of xmas decorations, trees and stuff. I went into a room with an office desk. I heard someone at the desk, but I could not see him.
I picked up a bottle off the desk and I knew I was dreaming as I hit the edge of the desk several times with the bottle. The room was dark and it was hard to see. I said I wanted more vividness, and said "give me light!" but it didn't work.
Then I woke slightly and felt vibrations. I entered another dream.
I was in bed with N. I got up and walked around the room. It was still dark. I said I wanted more vividness, but it didn't seem to work. Then I had a little sex with N.
I woke slightly again and entered a dream again.
I remembered to look for Sheila. I saw a door and said that she would be on the other side of it. But she wasn't. I saw a corner and said she would be around the corner, but again she wasn't. I was getting upset that it wasn't working.
Then I saw a female face, part of a painting or statue at first. She was a solid greyish color. I grabbed the woman and tried to make her turn into Sheila, with no success.
Then I saw Sheila sitting at a table in a diner, facing away from me. The first girl became annoyed and angry. I tried to make her go away and tried to remove her consciousness.
I approached Sheila and said her name. She turned and smiled at me. Her face was painted blue, with stripes and designs. I said she looked cool. We might have kissed, I'm not sure now.
The other girl was still there. She and Sheila kissed. The first girl was not angry anymore.
Then I must have lost lucidity and Sheila turned into a cat. I put her in a bag or a large purse.

My goal had been to find Sheila and ask her to find me in non-lucid dreams to tell me that I am dreaming. I was only half successful.

1/16/11 - Realization
Dream Non-dream Lucid

I had to babysit two of my cousins last night, and my aunt and uncle didn't come home until about midnight. My uncle drove me home even though it was late, but I've had to sleep over before because of how late they can be. Enter dream scenario.

I was at my uncle's house, and he had just returned home. He told me it was 3 am, and that he'd have to take me home in the morning. I was a little confused. I remembered being in the car with him earlier, and wondered why he couldn't have taken me home then. Suddenly I realized that he already had taken me home, and that I was in my own bed, asleep. I basically spazzed out. I ran downstairs, and outside. It felt a little cold, because I'd been expecting it to be, but it really wasn't much different than the temperature inside. I knew for sure then that I was dreaming. I guess I was still a little shocked, because I woke up immediately.

I wish I'd remembered a lucid task or something! Maybe tonight...?

Well, I slept better last night. (Understatement. I slept like a freaking rock, which is weird for me. I didn't even wake up to my WBTB alarm.) Still didn't have great recall, but the quality of the dream makes up for it.

1- Cell Phone (fragment)
I get a text message from my friend saying that her parents finally gave her a cell phone, so I can text her now and not have to worry about my phobia of calling people. ((Part of a much longer and much more interesting dream that I can only get flashes of.))

2- Unplanned Vacation
((My family is having some issues, I believe it involves the mafia, but I can't remember that part.)) My nonexistent sister is driving off without permission to go to Edistoe Island. I rashly jump in the car and demand to go with her. At the very least, I should be able to keep her out of trouble. It isn't long, however, before I realize the implications of this little endeavor. Not only will my mother be absolutely furious with me, but my sister is obviously somewhat crazy and I don't want to get dragged down with her.

"Pull over and let me out," I demand.

"What? No. You wanted to come with me."

"Look, I can't do this. I have a good life here, and I don't want to screw it up. Just let me out, I can walk home from here."

She sighs and pulls the car over. "What a goody-two-shoes. Mom's still going to be mad at you, y'know."

I grin impishly. "Not if I tell her you kidnapped me." With that, I get out of the car and run off.

I become lucid shortly afterward. It's a low level of lucidity, though, because I still think I have to go home. Wanting to stay off the main road, I leap of the bridge and fly toward the ruins of an older bridge secluded in the woods. A large beam stretches out across the river. It is fairly wide, something that would take absolutely no skill to balance across, yet I quickly find that dream gravity can be a pain in the butt. As I start to walk across it, I become really heavy and am finding it hard to keep my balance. What is this, dream vertigo? Fortunately, I make it across without falling.

On the other side, I am approached by two calico cats. One of them looks a lot like Sadie, but I examine her markings and see that she's not. I speak to them for a bit as they listen in silence.

Then I lose what little lucidity I had. A lady dressed in a short white dress walks up to me; she looks a lot like the Queen, with her unnaturally pale complexion and her choice of clothing, even her silvery blond hair color. Her hair style is different, though. Whereas the Queen has long, flowing hair, this woman's hair is short and curly. I don't notice these similarities in the dream, due to my cat snoring IRL and waking me up. ((For all I know, she could have been the Queen. Changing one's hairstyle is not that difficult, particularly in a dream. I didn't really have much time to find out.))

3- An Actress?
As I am getting ready for school and trying not to miss the bus, students and teachers are meandering around the house. I don't find it odd, just annoying. They won't leave the room while I'm trying to get dressed. And damn, I forgot to print out my lab report.

Distracted, I somehow put on a shirt on top of my jacket. My AP chem teacher walks in at that point and laughs at me. "Ugh, I give up."

I put some sort of makeup on, and when I look in the mirror I realize that my whole face is blue. It actually makes me look really cool, but I can't go to school like this!

After I fix that problem, my ears are suddenly painfully rejecting my earrings. They are bending around and making the metal stab me. Annoyed, I take the earrings out and throw them on the floor. "I just won't wear any today."

A bit later, I am shocked to see that lady in my house! "Who is that?" I ask my mom. She tells me it's some actress. "But I had a dream about her! How is that possible?" I am being quite loud. The lady, who is standing beside a large man with a top hat and a cigar, turns around and smiles at me. I blush, but I can't look away. ((I wake up again shortly afterward. Hmm. I still can't say for sure it was her. In the majority of the dreams I've had of her, she's always either tried to kill me or nearly gotten me killed. With a few odd exceptions. It's not like her to just stare at me without saying anything and make me wake up. Which, by the way, is way more annoying than trying to kill me.))

Had a lucid dream last night. It didn't go as I expected, and I faded into non-lucidity without realising. God, lucid dreaming can be tricky stuff.

So I was standing on a platform which jutted out from a skyscraper, way up high. Lined along this wide platform were huge artillery guns. The ground far below was brown-red, and scarred with craters. A war was clearly taking place.
Rolling along on the ground were big truck-like things. It was hard to tell what they were, because they were so small. In the sky were various aircraft, such as blimps. Anyway, I believe someone else was with me on the platform, but I can't remember who.
I knew we were under attack, and without hesitation I ran to one of the futuristic artillery guns. Pressing a button, I targeted a ground vehicle. A red box appeared on it, like in a flight simulation game, to tell me it had locked on.
The cannon fired. A glowing shell flew through the air and hit its mark. I noted that encircling the platform was a very faint, translucent bubble, which shimmered and shifted in the light.
I knew immediately that it was a force-field, an energy shield of sorts. It was the only thing protecting us from the aircraft.
After shooting with the artillery a little more, I reached out a hand, and touched the shield. Summing up my strength, I directed energy into it, feeling the power flow through me into the shield. It turned brighter and less translucent, more corporeal. But with the attacks of the aircraft, I knew it wouldn't hold forever.

I somehow came to the realisation that I was dreaming. I think it was because I used powers, and the only time I usually do that is when I'm lucid, so it triggered something inside me.
Nonetheless, I remembered what I'd said in waking life, about wanting to enter another world, one of my own creation.
But which world? I struggled to think of a decent place to go, and in the end it came to me - the one I most wanted to go to was the world of my unmade Java game! That was one of my best fleshed-out worlds, I knew it fairly well.
I brought to mind the concept art I had drawn, and imagined the land I had thought for so long about. For the second time ever, I attempted a dream-spin, concentrating on my destination.
The world changed without me realising it, as I spun round and round effortlessly. But when I came to a stop, I was looking at... a game, on a computer screen - my game. I haven't even started actual work on the game yet, only drawn concept art and written about it, so it was sort of cool to see it in a finished form (albeit not exactly like I am planning it). But I imagine the finished game in my head practically every day, so it's not anything new.
No, what I really wanted was to be able to feel the world, to breathe the dusty air of the desert planet I'm designing, to be able to speak with its inhabitants.
A voice, my subconscious I think, said exactly what I was thinking:
"Not quite what you were expecting, eh?"

A cruel mockery of my intentions - I wanted to see the world of my game, and in effect I got that. But it was literally my 2D game, not the real world I was hoping for.

So, here it is - I'm terrible at dream spinning. But I'm grateful for getting the chance to try.
Next time I'll try using a door portal, but I doubt that will work. I'll probably just wake up when I close my dream-eyes, or there will be nothing on the other side of the door.
Anyway, I shall try again if I get the chance.

I find lucid dream powers fickle and mostly a game of acting (expectations turn into results in dreams, I just pretend to do something and it happens). For me, the enjoyment is in experiencing the dream world.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING

Good morning! Last night was intense, or actually it was this morning, but still. I figured I'll try to become lucid two days in a row, and it worked. I used some galantamine at a WBTB and the dream I had after that was one of the longest dreams I've ever had. First time ever that I actually didn't want to stay in the dream after becoming lucid.

23.30: Sleep

05.00: Fragment
*I'm watching an interracial couple having sex.

05.00-05.25: WBTB - Mantra: I will lucid dream

06.40: Adventure indeed MILD
I'm in a couch with my brother and two of his friends. We're partying or something similar. I get up and walk around the place. We seem to be at some kind of convention, kinda like Dreamhack. I spot a crowd of people and decide to check out what's going on. "He beats them at chess while walking around!" a guy tells me and I can see a chess table and three guys playing. The younger one is walking around the table while he's playing. Apparently that's supposed to be very hard. The crowd cheers and I realise he's beaten them. I can tell his move was very clever. "You walked right into that one!" one of the guys in the crowd tells one of the losers.

I start walking away from the table and suddenly I'm in a grocery store. I walk along the isles and find Monica standing by the freezers. "We should get something we can just snack on at night" I say and I've got pizza in mind. We check out several different kinds of pizza and similar things. I find a very cheap one. "2 kronor for a pizza is amazingly cheap" I say and show it to Monica. She agrees but the brand is something we've never seen before. A guy shows up and is looking for the same kind of food.

The dream skips. I'm in the car with Monica on our way out of town. I spot a stable and know there's a supermarket just a kilometer behind it. I don't know how, but I make the car fly. It's very dark out but I imagine the place just as it looks like. I can see several streetlights and as we fly, the landscape gets clearer. We land outside of a small grocery store, just where I knew it would be. I go and get a ticket for the car. It expires in just two minutes. Weird. A girl working at the store comes up. "Don't worry, he never checks anyways" she tells us. "Ah damn, money well spent" I think. The car is making a very annoying sound.

We check the car for a long time. We open different doors and close them, push all kinds of buttons but the beeping sound won't stop. My brother Martin comes up and shuts it off. We're just about to walk into the store when he grabs my arm. "Buy me two milky ways and some beer". I look at him and I'm getting angry. "When YOUR friends come to MY place, THEY buy ME stuff!" I yell at him. He disagrees and I leave him there. Entering the store I notice it's being renovated. All walls are grey and the floor aswell. I enter a big room and accidentaly kick away a golfball coming towards me. Two employee's are playing mini golf.

"Hey, where is the place you buy food at?" I ask them. They laugh at the accident and points towards a few stairs across the large empty room. We walk across the room and down the stone stairs. We do not arrive at a grocery store, but a swimming hall. My family is there and so is my coworker Björn. They're swimming around a pillar and the water starts at the end of the stairs, there's no place to stand. I notice Björn's got swimming goggles and I put mine on too. They're blurring my vision alot, but I still keep them on when I jump in the water.

The dream skips. I wake up in the dark. We're still in the swimming hall, but sleeping in different beds all around the room. The water is gone. I try to check my alarm clock, but alot of stuff is in the way. It's standing ontop of a TV in the dark and I make alot of noise as I clear the TV. "05.00". People start waking up. My brother Morgan is up, and so is my dad. Soon the lights turns on and everyone but me is up. My dad is standing by the entrance of the room. "My toe has cramps" his toe wiggles. My sisters and my mom wants to wake me up and starts harrassing me. I want to sleep some more so I can dream. "Get out!" I tell them.

They start poking me in the mouth with nail files. My vision is split, and even though I've got my eyes closed, I can see myself on a monitor. I start biting the files they poke at me and bite off little pieces. They keep doing this and I can taste the files, they taste like licorice and they feel very unpleasant against my teeth. I finally get up and start writing down my dreams in my DJ on DV.

I wake up. I get on the computer and onto the chat. I am about to write something like: "Omfg I just had the longest dream ever" but all I manage to type is a very long "-_-" smiley. I realise my DJ entry is there and I read something in spanish. Looks like a poem or something. I am confused and decide to take a walk. I've got a weak memory of just flying and I'm wearing a white shirt. I check my belt for the internet browser buttons. I press one and intend to get on a train site to check for train times. The load is way too long so I open a new window. Which makes me get another white shirt on. Just like internet explorer usually is, it is completely white (?). I walk down the road with my two shirts on, feeling weak and a bit dizzy. I stop at a sandbox for some reason.

A girl clad in black down the road is coming towards me. She's wearing black leather and has a very "emo'ish" look. I look away for a second. When I look back, the girl is gone and replaced by a white cream cake. It's rolling down the road on wheels it seems, and just as it's next to me, the cake changes colour from white to dark purple. A second later the cake starts disintegrating and blows away in the wind in layers. A man shows up. "Hey, did you just see that?!" I ask him. "See what?" he tells me, and the second later, he also disintegrates and blows away in the wind.

"Oh, I am still dreaming!?" I ask myself. This is getting too much. I'm standing outside of a very dark forest and I don't like the feeling of the dream anymore, I want to wake up. I start screaming ontop of my lungs, at first I can barely hear myself, but soon my voice is booming, "WAKE UUUUUUUUUUP!" I start floating upwards and I laugh a little at the entire scenario. I don't wake up right away, but I slowly start to.

I can see my hand infront of me. I am completely paralyzed for a few seconds before I can move again. I get up.

I wake up for real and do a RC right away.

06.40-07.20: WBTB - Mantra: I am dreaming

8.45: Short lucid MILD
I'm by a lake with a few other people. A man, apparently very powerful, is standing infront of me and my friends. He tells us something and two huge green wings emerges from his back. Only one is fully stretched out though, but that's enough for him to take flight. He flies straight up, laughing. I can feel the wind picking up and I decide to follow him. I let the wind take hold of me and my two smaller wings and I start to fly. I fly around the lake two times in a wide circle just for the fun of it, I never get tired of the feeling.

I position myself a few meters above the evil man. "Hmm, perhaps fire will work?" I ask myself as I realise his wings are made out of green paper. I imagine them catching fire and to my surprise, fist sized circles of fire form and eats through the paper in seconds. The man starts falling right away but so am I. We both crash into the water and I get a faint memory of being in the water earlier. I lose lucidity and suddenly we're having a "smoke break" on the dock with my two sisters.

8.45: Insects
I'm sitting at a table with my two sisters. I spot a cross spider spider to my left on the wall. It's curled up in its web and I blow some warm air on it to make it come to live. I know it isn't very aggressive and it fascinates me alot. It starts to crawl out and when I can fully see it, it's alot bigger than I first thought. We all shy away from it and a woman takes it in her hand. "Don't worry" she tells us. Her husband is there and she puts white glue on his head and face. She takes a wig and some fake beard and puts it on there. The glue drips down his face and they tell me their story.

I feel like looking at the spider again. She tells me it's on the ground somewhere. I spot several spiders that looks just like it, but after a closer look, I can tell the difference. They aren't moving either. A cool bug comes running with one its mouth and I flick it away. My hands starts stinging and I notice a few fireants. I flick them away aswell and look where I'm standing. I'm in a fireants nest, and they're crawling up my boots. I shake them off and stomp my feet to prevent anymore from going up my legs.



10.30: Party
I'm at a big house by a lake. There's a party going on around me and they've put up tents. The sun is shining as I walk around the place. I spot a very hot girl in a yellow bikini. I'm having a hard time keeping my eyes off of her, but I force myself when her big latino boyfriend gives me a stare. I walk for a few meters and then turn around. Felix tells me that the girl was checking me out for a long time. "I don't want no trouble" I tell him. I get a text message, it's my dad.

10.30: Party ended
The dream doesn't skip, it's a new one. I'm at the same place, but the party has ended. It's dusk out and everything's very quiet. I know the world is about to change real fast, and I have to find some survival gear. My brother Morgan is there and I grab him. Some other boy, who looks like a tiny orange/brown alien shows up and I realise we have to take him with us. I chase him a bit, we all plunge into a pool and I help him up. Earning the trust of the alien boy, I can finally start looking for gear. I enter the house and my two sisters are on a couch. "Where is the gun?!" I ask them. They point at a box by a drawer.

I open it and take out two guns. They're very heavy. Morgan grabs one and I tell him he can never, ever touch it. There's still ammo left in the clips, but I want some more. I rumage through the box and find a few keys, an army swiss knife, and sharp metal objects. All of a sudden, my vision changes. I can see the lake and I can hear someone on a radio. He's over the lake in the town and he's on his way over. I shoot with a mini-gun and he laughs. "That's gotta be heard halfway across town". An old man across the lake appears in the enormous hole I just blasted in his house. "You leave me alone you teenagers!" he yells at me, waving his shotgun.

10.30: Fragment
*I'm at a table and my sister Malin is singing. Her voice is amazing. When she's done I remember her being in a choir. "She's great at both singing, and drawing" I say.

Amount of sleep: 10 hours

Supplements before bed: 2 x Omega-3, 1 x Lucid Dreamer at WBTB

That's it! Awesome. My sisters were in almost all my dreams last night. They just came home from Egypt and I'm seeing them for the first time in a few weeks. Also why I dreamt of survival was because I thought for a while about it last night, what to buy and so on. Pretty amazing, perhaps thinking about it before bed would be even better? Inducing a dream that is. Gotta try that...

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

After another user on this forum (goodnight) told me about lucid dreaming I realized I was dreaming more lucid than I imagined. The problem was I never remembered. So after that I started to memorize them by writing them down as quickly as possible. So this morning I had my third lucid dream I keep remembering.

I was in my university, it was late at night and I walked trough the corridors with an associate with whom I work during the day's there (i'm doing a student project for him). After he enters a room and asks me to wait because he is getting some coffee for us I look besides me and I see, around 50 meters away from me, a leopard. He is not angry, just walks but it's very strange. After I walk slowly away from that place I see more animals like tigers and lions. After I saw the first one my head was already thinking how it was possible, but I'm studying quite close to a zoo so there might be a possibility. After I see around 6 different animals I decide that what I'm in is a dream. The first thing I wanted to do this time was to fly, so I walked towards a window, went outside and flew away.

The feeling was amazing, actually like you would suspect it to be. I was flying over some huge pond in the middle of a city (the city changed after I went out, went something like Venetian or something, while I study in Rotterdam, The Netherlands) As I realize that I fall down into the water. I try to fly again but it doesn't work.

After that moment I know I'm in a dream but I can't get the control back. I run trough streets looking for places to jump of so I can get the control back but then I wake up as I'm climbing some ladder.

Plans: For tonight, my main focus is to continue remembering things, so I don't get stuck in another dry spell. I also still have a goal to meet with Dakotahnok at the beginning of the Halo task to have a confirmed shared dream. I also would like to get started on the Tasks of the Year from DV, the one I want to get over with first is a task taken from the Jaws movie, but the task is to kill the shark… which I don't want to do. I have plans on getting around it, but I figure I want to take care of it as soon as possible.

I am on a boat out in the ocean, I look around to see where I am, but I don't recognize any of it. I am lucid, though I don't remember how I became lucid. I look at the ocean around the boat and think this is most likely the place where I am supposed to complete the task of the year from DV that has to do with the Jaws movie. Ok, well this is definitely doable, so I'll get it out of the way. I look around the boat for a bit, and it is clearly a fishing type boat, there are three men out on the deck, I see there is a lot of beer being passed around, and it looks more like they're out here to party than fish or hunt sharks. I am thinking if one of those two were to fire a harpoon gun they would be more apt to skewer each other than any shark in the water. I am standing there watching them when one of them turns towards me and sees me. He stands there staring as if I was some kind of alien, or maybe a mermaid who had climbed out of the ocean and onto the boat… He finally comes over to me, holding his beer out in front of him, but he isn't handing it to me…

"Who the FUCK are you?" he says loudly, "Hey, guys! We gots ourselves a stowaway…" He is slurring his words, he is clearly more than a bit drunk.

"Maybe she can be put to good use here," another of the men says, "As shark bait!" The two men, the drunk one and the one who suggested I could be shark bait, come towards me, attempting to look menacing. Epic fail. The drunk one looks more like he might throw up than attack. The third one is over near the edge of the boat and he calls out that they have something, too big for a fish, it's definitely a shark… I think he sounds like a retard saying sharks aren't actually fish… He calls to the other two to come help anchor the line so it won't get away! Get the harpoon so they can kill it and claim the reward. I ask them if they're really just killing a shark for money? The one man who seems to be the least drunk says no, of course not… I shouldn't forget about the excitement of the hunt… and the fame… the drunk one throws his beer up in the air and adds that he does it for the women. I tell them to let the shark go, it's not the one attacking swimmers at the beach. If it was that one, half their boat would now be missing. The one anchoring the line down says I am probably right about that, he has heard descriptions of that shark, descriptions that say it is nearly the size of a whale. Everyone agrees that this is not the shark everyone is after, but maybe there is still a reward. One of them says if I help bring the shark in, I can share in the fame. Not in the reward, but in the fame, sure. Two are anchoring the line, the third is aiming a harpoon gun at the ocean, I agree that I will help.

I don't like these people killing for thrills, fortune, and fame, that is not a good enough reason to kill. I go over towards the three, like I am going to help anchor the line, but then I form Witchblade into a dagger and knife the guy with the harpoon gun, then lift him up a bit and shove him overboard into the water before he can react. The drunk one seems to sober up really fast, he asks what the fuck I'm doing, I'd said I would help… I say I didn't say who I would help, and I choose the shark. The guy in the water is calling for help, he says the blood will attract sharks. One of the men is trying to hold on to me, holding my arms behind my back, while the other goes to pull his friend from the water. So I stab the man holding me in the leg and flip him overboard into the water, then stab the last man in the shoulder and go to shove him overboard. He grabs me as he falls, and we both fall into the water. The man I fell overboard with laughs at me, saying I have killed myself, too, as the sharks will kill me when they come I dive under the water, following the thick line down to a tiger shark that is swimming around in circles, trying to get loose, but only tangling himself up more than ever.

I use my Witchblade blade to cut through the line, which is thicker than any fishing line I have ever seen before, and the shark is free. I telepathically tell the shark I need to get the hook out, it is a large hook, which is hooked in the shark's mouth… probably placed there when it tried to eat a fish with the hook inside it. I go over to the shark and pull the hook out, then heal the injury. The tiger shark responds to the blood in the water from the bleeding shark hunters and heads for them. I also see some more sharks attracted to the scene. I surface to see the three men climbing back into the boat, one of them is safely aboard and pulling a second in when the sharks arrive. The sharks grab the man who is dangling over the edge of the boat, tearing him in half… the second man disappears under the water… then a massive shark practically bites the boat in half, and that is the last to be seen of the three shark hunters.

Another boat arrives, and I realize it is the Orca, the ship from the movie Jaws, a man pulls me onto the ship, and there is a woman looking out over the water at the huge shark that bit the smaller boat in half. I search my mind for the identities of the people… one is Quint, a shark hunter, the man who pulled me out is Brody, the main character, so the woman is Hooper, the marine biologist? I was trying to think if that was a woman in the movie, but I figure it doesn't matter. Small detail. I am thinking of how to arrange Quint's death when I remember the task is to actually kill the shark, damn, I almost forgot that detail… so I go to one of the large harpoon guns and shoot the shark, right through the brain for a painless death… ok… task done… I jump in the water, though it's clear that the others think I fell, and I swim over to the shark. I remove the harpoon, then I summon up a healing item in the form of a mushroom that I have designed for use in my own video games, the mushroom heals and restores life to the recently deceased. I put the mushroom in the shark's mouth where it is instantly absorbed, the shark is revived and healed. Yay! I use the harpoon rope to pull myself back onto the boat, this time both Brody and Hooper help me up. I slice the rope a bit as I get on, weakening it. Quint sees the shark is still moving down there, so he reels the harpoon back in for another shot. He fires, and gets the shark only through its dorsal fin… the shark pulls at the harpoon cable. Quint says to pull the rope in a specific way so the harpoon gets set in place. I arrange so that he is in front, then the weak spot in the line, then Brody and Hooper. The line snapes, Quint gets pulled into the water and swallowed whole by the angry shark.

I do a quick scan of Brody and Hooper… Hooper has been against killing the shark from the beginning, but no one would listen to her idea of using some kind of sonic waves to deter sharks from entering areas populated by people. Brody had been going along with killing the shark, but it looked like there was still hope he could learn… maybe Hooper would teach him? The shark is tearing the boat in half, I tell the two of them to take hold of my hands, then I use TK to fly all three of us towards the shore, which shocks both of them. The big shark is following us after I telepathically tell the shark I know where there's food, so I lead him on to a boat that looks to have about seven shark hunters aboard. He bites that boat in half and feeds on the people aboard, Brody and Hooper both think that is horrible, but they don't know I had anything to do with it. I take them to shore and set them on the beach. I see other shark hunter boats out in the water getting attacked by the shark, excellent. Hooper says that's the consequence of people having no respect for the forces of nature, none of those people would have to die if they hadn't tried to kill the big shark in the first place. Brody asks why I can't go out there and help some of them… I say why should I help them, so they can do more thrill killing later? Brody stares at me as if I am completely mad, he says those are human beings out there, I ask what his point is. He seems to be without response to that, or maybe he just doesn't have a chance to respond before I wake up.

Awake, Non-lucid, Lucid, Dream within a dream, [Commentary made while awake]

[This is a catch-up post. These dreams are from December 24-27, 2010.]

Night of December 23-24

I'm playing Neopets, and I somehow obtain an item that makes a particular level of a particular Flash game easier.

I'm with P. in a hotel/bookstore. It's 12:30 A.M., according to an analog clock. [That's what my handwritten notes say, anyway.]

I'm at my high school, once again visiting the second row of portables located a little distance to the west of the main campus. [These portables don't exist in real life, but did appear in a previous dream, namely, the last dream in this DJ entry.] I'm walking around with no shoes on. As I climb up the steps into one of those distant portables, I wonder whether I'm going to get in trouble for that.

Night of December 24-25

[I only have a very vague memory of this dream, especially now that I'm reconstructing it from handwritten notes this long after the fact (1/15/11). I've reconstructed it from my handwritten notes as best I can.]

I'm at dream!Disneyland, watching a video in a theater. I also have a lucid dream within a normal one. When I first realize that I'm dreaming, I try to fly, but I can't. There are three DCs there, one of whom introduces himself to me and to the other two, and says something about how he isn't sure if we've met in reality or not. [Hmmmm... very interesting.] I actually tell the three of them that I'm dreaming. I get a second shot at completing a mission, and this time, I succeed. The mission involves saving the son of some teacher from someone. To complete it, I have to go into a room full of computer workstations and press a red, rectangular button that I find on someone's workstation. I couldn't find it the first time. At the end, when everything around me is blowing up [I think], I'm lying face down, going, “Please be a dream... please be a dream...” because I'm convinced that it's reality.

I wake up out of my lucid, back into the regular, non-lucid dream I'd been having before.

Night of December 26-27

I'm riding along on my bicycle. A mechanical arm attached to an overhead conveyor belt grabs my bike and pulls it into this big, elaborate, two-story construct that's a combination of a maze, a play structure, and an amusement-park ride, with me still on the bike. I think, I thought things like this only existed in dreams! I didn't think anyone had actually built one as a ride! [LOL, more dream sign fail...] I'm excited to be going into it, though, because I know it's an amusement-park ride/activity and it'll be fun. The conveyor belt goes up at an angle, taking me up to the second floor. When I get there, I get off my bike and go inside a room. Other people are there, including some real-life friends [I think; I don't really remember who now]. We're all role-playing that we're scientists in a laboratory [I think], because that's part of the ride.

The next thing I remember is realizing that being put in [artificial] danger is also part of the ride. I run toward the double doors through which I came into the room and open them by punching them. They swing outward, and I see that I've opened them just in the nick of time – just after the doors open, I see a locking bolt on one of the doors shoot out automatically. If I hadn't opened the doors when I did, we would have been locked inside.

[I don't remember the transition to the next scene.] I'm in a large bike repair shop. My red bike [the one I have in real life right now] has been taken here, and I want it back. The female DC who runs the bike repair shop gives it back to me, along with a brand-new pair of long black-and-gray bicycle shorts, which are lying in a particular spot on the floor, waiting for me.

[Fragment] Something about a [different] female DC who is infected with some kind of microbes that, when active, cause her body to become excessively warm.

Lucid,non lucid,comments

I attempted a wbtb but lost awareness along the way. I was in some kind of bus, driving through the country side and it was very relaxing. I wondered why it was night time because I recalled waking up but dismissed the thought. Then I felt like sleeping so I fell asleep on the bus. Then I was watching a video depicting a demon or the devil himself coming down and mating with a human woman..wtf.then I fell asleep again ( so I was now in a dream, within a dream, within a dream, only I didn't know). Then I woke up from that dream and was now in my bed but something felt off. There was someone sitting beside my bed, it seemed like they were waiting for me to wake up. I lift my eyes and an exact carbon copy of myself is sitting right beside me smiling. I get too excited and have to calm myself down..relax..relax. why is He holding my hand?, I think to myself. He smiles again like he understood what I just thought.

Me: who are you?.
Me2:....
Me: Ok listen..I want an extremely long and epic lucid dream, can you help me with that?.

He does the same mannerisms I do when I'm thinking things over(It unnerved me a little bit). I reach up and feel his face,it felt exactly like mine. Then he smiles again and starts levitating. I remembered that I hadn't stabilised the dream because it was starting to fade. so I leap out of bed and start rubbing my hands together. The other me then rotates in the air and telepathically informs me that he's accepted my request. I can feel the energy and start levitating as-well...but before anything happens I wake up. I look at the time on my phone; 10:30 am damn it..wait what...I wake up again, oh man I missed a false awakening, I grab my phone; 6:30 am huh?. I wake up again

Dream 1 (Lucid)

I was in Sewickley down by Edgeworth Elementary School. I saw someone in the street and it turned out to be the YouTube vlogger fiorentine. In his house there was an immense bookshelf. Some other people our age were there. I said something about people at our school having a conjoined twin fetish and looked at some books on the shelf on this subject. Then my memory skips and I found myself at home, apparently after school. I wanted to go down to Sewickley but my dad said something about it being too far to walk. I realized that I was wearing something like a tweed suit. I could swear that just a minute ago I has been wearing my Red White and Blue hoodie. I asked my dad about it but he didn't seem to answer. I could'nt remember putting the suit on and I realized I must be dreaming and became lucid The dream started to tip and blur, and I RCed with a finger check as I fought to maintain the dream. As usual, my left hand had an extra small finger at the end. I found myself suddenly in what seemed to be the streets of sewickley mixed with those of a big city. The dream was kind of fuzzy, so I went down the street shouting, "More Detail!" and "Increase Brightness!". I couldn't help but notice how real everything was. I did some more stabilization with my hands and suddenly two of my fingers turned green! After that I decided I would go down to Julian's house, but the dream quickly faded. After some struggles, I opened my real eyes.

Note: This wasn't my first lucid, but it's the first one where I was able to stay in the dream for more than a few seconds!

I just had a lucid dream while napping!!! My first WILD!!! After the SP vibrations had gone away, I decided to try and move my foot a bit. I could, so then I got off the couch I was sitting on. I did an RC and I realized I was dreaming! I told my mom and she said, "that's great!" the dream started to fade so I spun and it stayed. I went to my room which looked totally different. I tried to imagine I was in a different place and spun around with my eyes closed. It didn't work. I think I should not have closed my eyes. Then in the real world my sister bumped the couch I was sitting in and I woke up. I guess that's what I get for sleeping in my living room.

Lucid,Non lucid, Comments


Ok I'm not sure whether I accomplished my goal of meeting my dream guide or A dream-guide coz I got confused in the end. Anyway I was in an open field with my mom and some other guy that I cant quite remember, then suddenly my mom asks me if I wouldnt mind doing some chores for her like cooking?,dishes, and carrying some chairs?. I didnt really want to help because I had somewhere else to go, but it was my mom so I was always going to help, I glanced back and the other guy was laughing at me. Fast forward a bit and apparently I've finished all the tasks and were walking along a wooden bridge. My mom is telling me something about life, she specificaly says please remember this and makes me repeat everything she says 3 times (but I still forgot coz I wasnt lucid) It was something about being honest and real and genuine or something. Then she says you can summon your dream guide anytime you want, this made me lucid. "but I've tried that before and nothing happened" try this time she says. I sigh "ok, when I turn around my dream guide will be behind me". I turn around and there's a six year old version of myself smiling.

Mom: "see I told you"
Me: " but...."
Mom: " you can do this anytime you need him"
Me: " er..hey there little man, are you my dream guide?"
Me2: " NO....(blank stare)
Me: " are you sure"
Me2: " yes"
Me: ........

The six year old me then turns around and starts running (very surreal.... I can tell you). He wants to beat up the other guy(who had morphed into a six year old aswell), but he trips and falls. I was thinking how can a six year old help me?. Then he jumps up starts laughing and the two boys run around doing kid stuff.

Summary:

This is not the first time I have seen myself lol, its becoming quite frequent I will post my most frequent lucid soon but I'm disappointed that I don't have a six year old to fight monsters with ,I'm sure they wouldn't have seen that one coming

This was my first lucid dream.Well i've had some when i was a kid but i remember only some details. But i do remember that when i told my friend that i can control dreams and eat everything i want in shops she didn't believe me and looked at me like i was a moron..that was pretty painful for the little me This dream is already month old but ..
I was walking upstairs in an old dark wooden house.The room i went in was empty and there was this fear inside me..I walked to a window and looked outside- there was a big, brown and scary gorilla-like creature walking past the house. Then i saw one more of these freaking monsters coming up the stairs, i totally freaked out and this was the moment i went lucid(because it suddenly hit me that such creatures don't exist). I knew that they weren't real but that didn't change the fact that i was scared shitless so i backed into a corner and started to think ''i am invisible, you don't see me'' or something along these lines.I didn't know if it worked but the gorilla ignored me so i run out of house using a hole in wall which wasn't there before (i''m not even talking about the fact that i was on the second floor but the hole led straight out on the street).
I was so excited about the lucid dream that i couldn't think of what to do first. I remembered reading about animal guides but didn't have any idea how to meet one so i just thought to myself something like '' want an animal totem to show up''..seemed that it didn't work and there were still those creepy monsters going around (plus now there were some big flying birds too) so i went along the street..i noticed a wolf statue.i was dissapointed because my brain misunderstood what i wanted. :/ In the back of the statue there was a big book.i don't remember but it seemed like Little Red Riding Hood or something similar.In that moment i thought about stealing that book and bringing it in reality with me in case i don't remember the dream+ because it could have some information (my brain must have been damaged in that moment ) but then one of those big birds attacked me. I tried to run but it followed me and pecked my head. It hurt like hell and i tryed to make that bird disappear but didn't work. I was running, hitting that bird and trying to think of something when in front of me a blue human with no hair and small horns and wings appeared. Even thought i knew it was a dream everything felt so real and i panicked. So i thought about flying(i've had non-lucid dreams about flying before so i was pretty confident i could do it ).I jumped and flew but the blue weirdo with horns still followed me althought the bird was gone. I flew faster to get rid of the demon and it worked.But it was gloomy around because of dark clouds so i tryed to make sky clear.For a moment there was a small hole in clouds and i could see blue sky but then something weird happened. I was suddenly flying towards the hole in clouds but clouds moved and tryed to close the hole...There was a lot of struggling between me and clouds, then my blue ''friend'' showed up again so i flew to the old house and he followed me. I flew in and closed the door(in the first floor) but he was hitting and scratching them. I was scared that if i try to wake up now he will open the door and kill me(what the..? )so i thought of something. I opened the door, took his hand and quickly went to bedroom, there was an old man sitting and watching tv but i didn't pay it any attention in that moment. So i pushed him in the bed, started to undress him and i used the moment when he was totally surprised (well i don't remember his face so not sure he was) to wake myself up. But now i'm a bit angry because i woke up even thought i could have tried more things and because i have only seen 2 lucid dreams since then and they were very short.

1/15/11 - Walking in the Dark
Dream Non-dream Lucid

I was on my front porch, standing under the little light in the ceiling, talking to someone. I told them to stop talking, that I needed to examine the dream some more. I looked around and stepped outside. It was pitch dark out. I walked further and still could see no light, all I knew was that I felt concrete beneath my feet. I held onto that feeling.
I looked up, and could barely make out the outline of the moon. I decided that it should be daytime, and willed the sun to rise. An orb of light rose up into the sky, but it faded away quickly. I tried saying it aloud, "Sun, rise." Nothing happened. I turned around and looked back at my house. All I could see was the small glow coming from the front porch. I walked in that direction...and I don't know what happened after that.

I remember being in a classroom, with a bunch of kids from my old school. I was with Mary and Hannah, as usual, and we were talking about something. Just when class was about to be let out, there was a loud booming sound. Rain was pummeling down outside, and lots of water was blowing in through the open windows. Everyone crowded together on the floor, in the middle of the room, as the booming continued and be could see sparks of electricity right next to the windows. It was a really bad lightning storm. After several minutes of sitting there and witnessing the storm, it died down, and the thunder and lightning stopped. The teacher told us we could leave. I was pissed because the book I'd been reading was soaked. Then I woke up. I wish I'd remembered the task of the month!

NOTE: I was already awoken like five times this morning, this was a very short dream. The kind you have when you go back to sleep at like 8:00 A.M.

I dream we're heading to battle. We're all in Marine armor from Starcraft II. We see our opponent. Suddenly, I become lucid without dream signs! Armor? Yeah, don't need it. I fly up into the air and blow the armor off. I grin at my enemy, who looks scared now. Then, I awake to my brother's loud foot steps! Hey, what the hell man?
