    1. Lucid Dream #2

      Lucid Dream #2:

      Per the usual, I'm going to put in red what was lucid, and blue what was non-lucid. Black will be non-dream stuff.

      So, last night, I decided to try to use my REM Dreamer since I was having such poor luck as of late. When using the dreamer, I always have vivid dreams and I wake up a lot. Before the wake-back-to-bed, I had a really vivid dream where I was in a brand new we made. The house had a large kitchen flanking the left side of it, with a cozy looking living room. I didn't get much further than that. I wake up the first of several times and fail several WILD attempts. I know once I checked my clock to be sure I was awake, then within seconds, I see a different clock saying I should be dreaming. Somewhere in this waking and falling asleep, I dreamt of this tiny kid with a basketball. It was in my journal, so I know it happened, but I can only see him in silhouette. Finally, it was close to 6:30 or 6:45 when I went to sleep again. I believe I see the dream form around me, but I am not too sure, until I hear my text tone go off, which is a loud 2 second sound, for some reason, I know that this is a dream and I become lucid. I am a theater with people watching dreams. In the dream, it didn't dawn on me that this was my recreation of the November advanced challenge "Visit an offline DV." As I walk around the theater, I see a girl following me, but my main goal is to get to the lobby to tell death to steal her soul. Again, I am very goal oriented. Instead, I realize I do not have full control over the environment, so I poke my finger through my hand, which succeeded. It was an erie sight. I see my mom in the theater, and I tell her my basic task because I am aware the dream is ending. I tell her I am thankful for learning how to dream properly. Not long after that I can feel the dream fade to the room I was sleeping in, and I wake up.

      My strange penchant for completion, lead me to perform two major dream tasks on the first day of the month, but I still lacked control over my environment. Also stranger is the fact that I became lucid, not by WILDing, but by the external text message sound. I still lack control in my lucidity =\.
    2. Coming soon... The Akashic Records

      Coming soon... The Akashic Records (DILD)

      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      A better night. Three dreams.

      Second:

      I was in a cinema waiting to see a movie. I saw the "coming soon" titles. One of them announced about how to Astral Project and reach the Akashic Records.

      Suddenly the dream shifted and I was like in the movie.
      I turned lucid, or actually, sub-lucid. I knew there was a twist of reality and that I was in a dream.

      I saw the images of a dragon and a view of the Earth from space. I saw a ball bouncing back and forth from the Earth. People was laughing. I felt that I could easily do that on any dreams.

      Missed dream signs:
      - Astral Projection and Akashic Records announced over the cinema.

      Spotted dream signs:
      - Lucidity trigger without DS.

      * Third dream was about a page long and lost it all when I was almost done. I do not feel writing the whole thing again.

    3. Kinda DEILD, but mostly Novembers goals.

      by , 11-01-2010 at 04:43 AM
      Kinda did a DEILD this morning, but my lucidity was... Iffy at best.

      Had something t'do with a grocery store.

      But, I have a whole cornucopia of goals for November, which I am calling the 'Senses suite'.

      Novembers goals
      Sight
      -Look upon something truly unexplainable.
      -See my subconscious's undiluted form.
      Sound
      -Remember an entire conversation in a dream. (That's longer than a few words.)
      -Listen to a song.
      Smell
      -Smell a flower in a dream.
      -Smell something that shouldn't have a scent.
      Touch
      -Pet my cat in a dream.
      -Give someone a hug.
      Taste
      -Eat something.
      -Drink something.

      Pretty general, but when I manage to fill out the list, I might try a few more goals.

    4. 23 Oct: Dream within dream, sex with unknown LDer & meeting my guru

      by , 10-31-2010 at 07:07 PM (Lucid-schizo-dreamer)
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID FALSE AWAKENING PRECOG

      21:30 GMT – sleep

      Japanese stuff again
      Remember anime girls, kimonos and being in some sort of wooden kiosk, asking for directions

      22:30 GMT

      Dream within a dream
      With mom, aunts and uncles at my father-side grandma’s house. Telling mom to hush cause others were asleep. I go to front door and I’m thinking of how I had so many dreams (usually nightmares) about this house and this door (not able to close it when a werewolf or thieves or ghosts were coming, etc). But now that it is just fine, I close it, I lock it and consider I’m putting a stone over this ridiculous fear I had. Then I go to sleep and I have a dream within a dream.
      As I lay down on the dream-bed I think about Nighthawk and how I should invite him to go out some of these days. I visualize ourselves going to the movies, holding his hand. Then I fall asleep in the dream and I dream I’m really at the cinema. He is not there but I recognize many other people in the audience, including his brother. I engage in conversation with some persons nearby and then try to say hello but he is some rows to the front.


      Sex with unknown lucid dreamer
      Then the cinema auditorium transforms into a cliff with carved platforms serving as rows. First I feel vertigo, but then I become lucid and loose fear. I have the feeling other DCs are actually dreamers and I sense that some are even lucid to.
      I cooperate with someone by sending objects through the air by telekinesis. Then I meet this guy who is showing me proudly some trees he created – they are beautifully arranged, almost like a forest ikebana. He also feels melancholic because he is aware they’ll only exist as long the dream takes place, but that ephemerality only makes it more beautiful. We vibrate at same wavelength and we connect immediately and I feel crazy attracted to him, so we end up making out and it evolves into hot steamy sex. Noticed that he had captivating eyes and a really deep look.


      2:50 GMT

      Meeting my guru
      On some huge empty building with pink walls and no one around. I am lucid and playing some tricks like swelling the walls or closing them in. When I closed the walls in I saw movement through the tiny slit left between them and I open them again to see what is on the other side. It’s just a tiny rat but then I also see mirrors, lots of mirrors, which weren’t there before. I see my face reflected in detail, but then the mirror becomes non-reflective and my image becomes just a blur. I look for another mirror but before facing it I think about what I want to do so I can jump through it right away. I remember I wish to meet my main guru again. When I jump through the mirror I feel the dream fading, but I hold on and then I find myself in a similar building, but this time it is full of people. I go around and ask people if they saw my master. Many don’t know but one guys points vaguely ahead. I then find a young Tibetan monk but he doesn’t speak a word of English. I keep going to end of the corridor and then turn right to another corridor. Then I find a room with 3 people sleeping on mattresses on the floor (futon-like). I hear some muttered words in German between 2 people there and then realise the 3rd person is my guru. He raises his head, looking sleepy and surprised. “Here again?” – he asks. I see his face and it is clearly him at the beginning but sometimes it flickers and becomes a bit different, so I’m not totally sure it’s him or mind projection. He looks groggy so I say I didn’t mean to disturb but really wanted to see him. I tell him I’ve been a very bad disciple but will do my best to compensate. Dream starts fading again, but I hold it.
      He lays down and I just lay down by his side, saying I will not bother him with questions for now, but just being there close to him, being able to touch his robes, is already good enough.
      Later when the sun has risen we’re outside with the two other persons that were also sleeping on the room (2 german ladies) and they are the three working with plants. My teacher is discoursing a lot of information about different species of plants they are tendering after and I just listen and watch. Then the dream fades.


      7:00 GMT – wake up
    5. Why you should NEVER live in New Orleans! (and hotdogs hate me)

      by , 10-31-2010 at 06:03 PM
      Why you should NEVER live in New Orleans-
      So I found myself living in a run-down version of my current house. My entire family was there, and my mom said we were living in New Orleans. Then all of a sudden it got dark out, and out of nowhere, people surrounding the house started firing at us. We all dove to the ground and trying to not get hit. However, my mom got hit. This went on for what seemed like hours. They tore down entire walls with bullets and it was a miracle we were alive. So the next day we set out rebuilding our house and then suddenly it was nightfall. As soon as I saw it was dark I hit the ground and, sure enough, they came back and were shooting at our house. Almost nothing was left that time, but then all of a sudden:
      I found myself in completely 1st person. It felt really weird all of a sudden, and then I realized I was lucid. First lucid ftw? I looked in the closet next to me and found a rifle and my ghillie suit (Note: I actually own a ghillie suit. It was a gag gift that is a ton of fun) But as soon as I got my suit on, I felt myself falling back into the dream. I tried to stay lucid but I couldn't, and before I knew it I was back into the dream again.
      So then I found myself outside of my house, plotting revenge on the shooters. It seems they terrorized not only our house, but a HOUSE OF ORPHANS. Can I really dream of bad guys or what? So I begin planning how to get rid of them. I found a little blue print which explained that there was either two ways I could get rid of them and leave New Orleans. I could either 1) Agitate a giant dragon (Which apparently, there's one in new orleans) and get it to follow me to their hideout, and then burn it down or 2) Get into the hideout and attempt to trick one of the guards, then set a bomb in there and leave. I opted for plan number two, and asked my dad what he though. The weird thing was, I was talking to Queen Zukin on my laptop and he came over just as she said something that isn't quite family appropriate. So I never got his help. Right after that I woke up.

      Hotdogs hate me (But I still love them)(Frag):
      All I remember in the dream was I was attempting to eat hotdogs but every time I attempted to eat one it would shoot out of my mouth. I went through at least 20 hotdogs trying to eat just one. Pretty sure I was at a barbaque.

    6. 3rd lucid: acting as polar bear

      by , 10-31-2010 at 05:04 PM (The Midnight Train)
      I am waiting for a water taxi in Bangkok. Once it arrives I sing a rap for the captain from the platform at the top of my voice. I repeat the word white (as in the skin color) many times so I guess the rap is about race. The captain and his assistant are African-Americans as well. Once I'm on the boat the assistant asks me if I was dissing him. I wasn't but still there was the word white in there so I am afraid to tell him. So I say instead that it was just a nonsensical word. Then he starts talking to me and singing with me. The rest of the passengers are dead silent and probably listening to us and I feel uncomfortable. Eventually he stops bothering me and goes to annoy someone else.

      The water taxi somewhere along the dream, turns into a long narrow bus. And when very few people remain on it, it turns into a car; a very economical transport. But this corner is not where I wanted to go. And the taxi just left. I feel distressful but see a familiar looking elderly couple on the other side of the road. I walk towards them and ask for help. They had dropped me off before in another dream location. The lady is holding a picture of something. She thanks me for entertaining her children but I say, "It wasn't me, well my body but different person. We have multiple consciousnesses." And here, I realize that I am a cute polar bear and the dream world has a cartoon texture.

      I hop in to the jeep and off we go. The man shows me a picture of a building with a weird design. It is made of two small buildings and a bridge in the middle. It is white and cartoon-like. Drawn with a blue felt pen. He asks, "Is this your dream sign?"By the way he looks like a character from Tin Tin or something.

      I say, "No, but I'll check!"

      So I do the nose pinching reality check and it fails!

      Then I say to him, "I am dreaming!"

      I point to a mountain in front of us and I say, "Let's go there."

      The car flies off the ground and I feel the acceleration and everything becomes a tiny bit clearer. The sun is behind the mountain. We are speeding upwards towards it.

      But then I start to lose it. The dream becomes weaker. I do stabilization by rubbing my hands but it doesn't work.
      My dream scene fades and I start to feel my real body.

    7. Dream sparring and a dreamer.

      by , 10-31-2010 at 04:51 PM (Robo's Dreams)
      wow, two lucids in a row, personal record!

      recall begins
      I do a reality check, I have 4 fingers on my left hand. I look at them for a bit, it looks a bit like pig fingers. I start walking out, looking for something to do. I see someone, I can't remember who started it, but soon I was flying, and we where both chucking things at each other. I was flying around, throwing kitchen sinks at the guy, and he was dodging. I saw a bathtub flying at me in slow motion, I catch it, and chuck it back, the guy who threw it at me dodged it. somewhere I got a stumpy baseball bat/club, I started trying to hit people with it. they would dodge. I decided that hitting people with it wasn't the best option, so I started flying around like superman, holding it with both hands, trying to poke people with it. they started running, I almost got them when they turned away and ran a different direction. I crashed and burned and slid about 5 feet.

      I heard a woman say, "you just slid through the dog poo I just cleaned up!" in a shocked tone. "sorry" I said, not paying attention to my shirt, my attention was focused in the back of the room, there was a girl sitting there, but she seemed slightly different than the other people around me. I went up to her and said hi.
      "hi"
      "hi"
      "you know you are dreaming, right?"
      -reality check, passes-
      "no, I KNOW you are dreaming"
      "doesn't really matter, I won't remember."
      "oh, that's it then..."
      I pick up a mini television that is sitting next to me, but I can't find the power outlet on the wall, the dreamer disappears. "crud" i say. the TV flicks on, I remember that I'm in a dream and become more lucid. I see the dreamers eyes opening from their perspective, then it switches to in front of them, they say, "holy crap" and the television flicks off.

      I go back to the people behind me, but the rest of the dream became too erratic to recall well, I woke up soon after.

    8. Wave 69: First snow

      by , 10-31-2010 at 02:03 PM (The Meerkat's Lair)
      My best lucid dream to date. Its funny because I asked a magic thingy on the internet wether or not id be lucid and he said No twice. This one just...wouldnt end! I did a lot of dream control here (though my flying abilities are still close to none)

      Dream 1: I dont know how the hell I became lucid. I just was when the dream started. I sort of followed the plotline without really wanting to. I try flying in front of my mom and sis but land onto a car. I make my DC mom lucid (more or less) by telling her shes dreaming and making her RC. I RC too just to check. While looking at my cats litter box, I consider turning into a cat but I figure its too advanced for me at the moment. I walk to the park while seeing various DCs before meeting my friend Benjamin. While were walking im braggin to him about how I have powers and stuff. Just by looking at it, I bend a STOP sign. Hes impressed. Then I try to make myself bigger but instead he starts to get smaller (a lil). Next, were both in a race where you have to duck under metal bars. I cheat and push the bars upward instead (im in control after all ). He asks how I did that and I say I just think it and bang. I unlock his. Finally, at my house, im late for supper and theres only so much ravioli left. I turn away and make some more appear Sweet. Then I accidentaly close my eyes. And while my eyes are closed im telling myself "Only open your dream eyes!" and I open my real eyes. Damn. Note tons of other stuff also happened that I ended up forgetting. In a short non-lucid, I dream about my radio battery.

      This was my first ever DILD without WBTB!

    9. My powers aren't gone! Phew...

      by , 10-31-2010 at 11:31 AM (Nom nom nom, Mmmattelicious...)
      NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

      Good morning! Woke up earlier than usual today, and tried to WBTB, but I couldn't fall asleep. Anyways I had a few cool dreams last night, and even a very short lucid! No B6 taken for a week and I can still dream lots. Yay!

      6.00: Flying DILD
      I'm on a field with my relatives. We're all fooling around with these large plastic handheld fans, like they have in China. I decide to let the wind take a hold of my fan and I'm blown like twenty meters away. Everybody laughs. It felt awesome and I want to try it again. I wait for the next gust and jump as high as I can when it hits me. I direct the fan towards it and I fly atleast thirty meters up. I become lucid by the super high jump and I stay in air. "Yes! My flying ability is still there!" I say and fly around in circles, happier than I've been in a lucid for a while.

      10.00: Local drunken adventure
      I'm walking around at night in my hometown, talking to my friend Eric on the phone. I tell him I miss him, and that I miss the times we had back in the days. I don't remember what his reply was but there's silence for a long time. Suddenly I'm on a bus with my other friend Henrik. We talk about all kinds of things and I realise I have to get off the bus soon. I just miss my stop and decide to jump off where he lives. We exit the bus at the next stop and say goodbye. I walk up to the bus stop on the other side and look for a bus home.

      All busses are going the wrong way, so I walk to the next stop just up the hill. A bus is just about to leave and I run towards it. A small kid is trying to lock up his bike infront of me so I miss the bus. "Hey Patric, having trouble locking up your bike?" a man asks him. The boy nods and I ask the man if there would be any other bus coming soon. "Yeah I think so..." he tells me and we wait. It's getting really dark outside and I can barely see the cars going by. Suddenly I see a light coming up the hill.

      The light is coming from a cigarette in the mouth of an old hag of a busdriver. The bus doesn't stop and several metal platings roll down to cover all the windows. "What a bitch!" I yell and the man agrees. We're both drunk for some reason and I decide to walk home. We walk out on the street and I almost get hit by a car. I throw a snowball at the next one coming up. "Oh shit that's right, I haven't told Monica where I am" I say and take out my phone. "I'll send the message to her haha!" the man tells me. I ignore him and start walking, trying to send her a message. It doesn't work as usual (actually my IRL phone SUCKS, and I figured I was drunk, so no dreamsign).

      Finally I get it right, and I start running, saying goodbye to the man. I notice I've recieved a message from a girl I used to hit on before I met Monica. "If you need to talk, I'm here" she tells me. "What? Why would she type that?" I ask myself. I figure something must have happened to Monica and I run even faster. I think about dreaming and that I just had lucid. I never become lucid though. I decide to try to get on Facebook on my phone and I look her page up. There's no sign from any posts from her. "That's strange... She usually writes all kinds of things.


      10.00: Survival game
      I'm ontop of a cliff overlooking the sea. I can see a bear walking around on the beach below and I don't feel very comfortable. (I've had alot of nightmares about bears) I remember a guy testing a home made parachute and it didn't work very well. Suddenly the bear disappears and I look around. Only to see him just a few meters away. I take the big plastic bag I have next to me and I jump for it. Aiming for the water. I fall for a long time but I land in the water, very close to the beach. On the beach is a large robot and I know I'm dead.

      He shoots me dead with laser and I lose all my equipment. Also my saved "Survival ship". I have to start all over again so when I spawn, I run into a shed and start looking for things to build stuff from, and things I can use for survival. I find several nails, tape, plastic bags and alot of other stuff. "Do you wanna join me?" I ask Monica but she doesn't look very enthusiastic.


      Amount of sleep: 9 hours

      Food before bed: 2 x Omega-3


      That's it! I also remember having like electricity going through my body. I'm pretty sure it was vibrations you get before you fall asleep, since I had trouble sleeping after my 6.00 WBTB alarm. I remember alot of strange images and feelings, so that was cool! Never had that before.

      Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

    10. An hour long lucid with complete control, and spiritual findings.

      by , 10-31-2010 at 06:23 AM (Dreams I can Only Dream.)
      Date: Friday October, 2010
      Time: 2:30 pm.

      red=Lucid

      Note: There may have been some communication with either another being, or a direct link to my subconscious.
      So I laid down to take a quick hour long nap. I start to slowly enter SP, I feel the all to familiar energy waves crash over my body. I still get excited when this happens. The auditory hallucinations kick in. I remember I was thinking about something, but my thought trails off into a sort of dream where I enter a trance and am not even conscious of the fact I am falling asleep. I quickly realize what is happening and come back to consciousness before I fall asleep regularly. I start off with some hypnogogic imagery. Shiny multicolored light appears, little windows show up, giving me images and choices of what kind of dream I would like to enter.
      The imagery stops and I find myself in a dream, but I am not lucid yet. I am being mauled by my dog (who was sleep right beside me ha ha.) I remember falling to the floor and not being able to ask for help. I keep calling out my sister's name in hopes that she will hear me. No sound comes out of my mouth. I soon realize that the dog, although biting me. It isn't doing any damage, or pain. I "wake up"from it, but fail to realize the FA that just happened. I fall back asleep, but my consciousness wakes up, and I realize I just was dreaming, and that I still am. I crawl out of bed, and instead of being in my bedroom, I am in my place of work. I become lucid immediately.
      I walk around the store for a bit, but I end up blacking out. I wake up again into another FA, where I am standing in my backyard. I feel unusually confident in my ability to control my dream. Which for some reason I start to fight a DC. At first its a fist fight, but then I start controlling the elements. I forcefully push him with a gust of wind.

      To test my ability further, I go into my front yard and see several tornadoes whirling around. I grab one and throw it at the DC. He can't do anything but grab onto the car that is in my driveway. So I push the car out of the yard with my mind. The fight finishes, and I start looking around. The neighborhood looks different. I see my brothers Jamie, and Jay in my dream on the deck. The day turns to night as I walk up the stairs. Jamie turns to me and says "What's up Joe!" and my other brother says high. I noticed that they were drinking beer. I was going to go grab one, but decided not to. Instead I look up and jump up into the sky.
      I fly easily, something I never have been able to do without the most extreme amount of effort. I look around and get the exciting butterfly feeling as I do when I am at extreme heights. I see the millions of houses, and building structures. The world seems so real. I start doing loops in the sky, and decide to fly super low to the ground and great speed. I make a beeline toward the earth. I end up spotting a big pool and dive for it. Free falling is really scary, and I almost forgot that I was dreaming. I splashed into the pool, water waves crashing over the sides of the square in ground pool. I decide to go underwater, my speed isn't affected but my clothes are soaked. I didn't feel wet however.
      I see tunnels underwater, it is really dark. I can breathe underwater and was going to go explore the tunnels but decided against it. Flew out of the water back up into the sky. I remember a thought I had when walking my dog outside at night. I remembered I wanted a cool night air time flight, where I could feel the breeze of the wind rush against me, and smell the familiar air that is so distinct to the night. I became completely relaxed as I flew on. I must have flown across entire cities as I lost track of time. Just completely deep in my thoughts.
      The flight ends abruptly as I kind of black out and appear outside of some random house, in a random neighborhood. I notice the house I am in front of is on a hill, and looking down the hill notice a straight long street. I see other dream characters walking around doing what they do. I decide to start a fight, so I go to some random dude in a truck and say that I can control him. He was a decent sized fellow, with a scruffy brown goatee and short brown hair. Was wearing a plaid jacket and blue jeans. I start to try and control him, but I can't for some reason, so he walks up on me and actually forces me to my knees. No matter how hard I try, I can't do anything. That quickly stops as I get aid from another DC. The guy I picked a fight with runs down the street, and me and the other DC give chase, running at super fast speeds. We never catch him as I end up in a weird room presumably in the house I was just in front of.
      I hear a radio, I see a t.v, and there are two other DCs in the room. I do not recognize either of them. The room was small, with black and white tile on the ground, a green two people seat couch in the middle facing the t.v. There is a radio playing in the corner of the room by a door that leads outward. One DC was standing in the doorway of the room, the other sitting on the couch. I remember hearing a cool song play, and wanting to write it down or try to remember it for when I wake up. But couldn't. Then I hear a freestyle rap going on. One of the lines I tried to remember was "I am like the bank cashing all the checks....." and was amazed by how sick the lines were. Me and the DC sitting on the couch were getting hype by this rap. That soon ended as the t.v shut off. I started paying attention to some sort of noise playing in the background.
      I turned toward the radio and went to it. I sat down and listened to it. It sounded like white noise, and the occasional station being flipped through. But at a super fast rate. I had a thought that this was my subconscious trying to speak to me. The words were going incredibly fast. I had another thought that said this was how fast I was thinking subconsciously. Then another thought came into my mind that said this was everything I heard today being played back to me by my subconscious. As if all the commercials, all the songs, all the conversations I heard were being played back to me at an undecipherable rate. Then I heard words, I couldn't write them down as I remember that I can't bring anything back from the dream world so it would be pointless.
      It started speaking to me this voice. It told me my fear. That I would not make it to heaven, or purgatory. That my fear was that I would end up in hell. That I thought I was doing everything wrong in life, but wasn't. Only that I had to switch a few of my habits around. This voice said I was on a path to God, but I have taken other paths leading off of it recently. That if I correct my path I would end up in heaven. Then it went on to say that I do not fear death as others do, but that I have accepted it as a natural thing everybody has to experience. That where I was at was the actual afterlife. I wasn't just inside a dream anymore, I was in a different realm, where DCs are now beings. I asked the two DCs, or beings about it and they told me that the voice was correct. That they aren't just in my dreams, that my consciousness was actually completely in a different place. Right then I just became an observer, and listener. I just went along with it, yet I was still completely lucid (or was I??). Then the voice said (not directly to me as I originally thought.) Since I was not afraid of death, that I would meet it Sunday, the 31st. I would pass on into the current realm I was in. I didn't get scared of this foreshadow, or prophecy but curious on it. Then an announcement happened over a PA system that asked for somebody, I can't remember the name. The voice told me that was the person who was going to die, not me (It could of been talking to someone else entirely.). I relaxed a little more, I asked about God, but the voice went away. Dead silence for a few minutes, then it began to talk again. I stood up accompanied by the two DCs, or beings. I again asked if this was really what the afterlife was like, and they said yes. They lead me out the door, and out of the house were I began to hear a ringing, and realized within the dream that it was my alarm. Disappointed, yet excited I prepared to become awake within the real world (at least what I consider it to be).
      I woke up feeling all sweaty, and weird contemplating all that had happened.

    11. Wild Horses and Dreams

      by , 10-30-2010 at 06:39 PM
      I hadn't dreamed last night, so after waking up, I took a nap, and fell straight from closing my eyes into a LD, which surprised me seeing as I've only ever had 1 LD before this.

      Anyway, I opened my eyes and was standing on a cobbled street. It looked like the main road through my village, except in olden times, and someone rode through on a horse and cart. Standing there, I suddenly thought, I'm dreaming. I remember really vividly the beating of my heart as I got excited. I decided to try out some of the things people often do in lucid dreams. I crossed the street and walked through a wall. On the other side there was just blackness, so I imagined a sweet shop, and it appeared. Still not used to walking through walls, I left through the door and flew through the street. My first time flying. I decided I wanted some adventure. I landed in a snowy area off the road. A car and a van drove towards me on either side of me. A huge crowd had gathered, and they were screaming at me to run. I saw a locked door and tried to walk through it, but I was too excited and scared. I ran away, and a man got out of the lorry and jumped on a beautiful wild horse to chase me. People were cheering me on. I remember feling so glad to have come to this world, for somer reason. I kicked the man in a rush of adrenaline, and he fell off his horse. The horse was panicked. I wanted to calm it and ride it, so I chased it. It ran down a valley of snow. I had almost got it, when everything went black. I realised aftr a minute that I had woken up.

    12. Quick Lucid Dream Acrobatics

      by , 10-30-2010 at 06:08 PM (Dreaming on my feet)
      Type: Lucid, quick, Nose-plug RC
      Vividness: 7/10
      Lucidity: 5/10

      I was driving passenger in my friend David's black truck who I live with, down an old country neighborhood road with four or five houses on either side, very open, autumn or late summer, hazel tall grass and a nice breeze. Passes a huge, barn red, 3 or 4 story house with a walk out basement on the left, and I feel that I had passed that house and remember doing some sort of work in it with David [dream frag from earlier]. We get to the bottom of the hill and arrive at a while barn-ish house, and David tells me that a man across the lake bought a big portion of property and is brewing his own spirits this year, "I hope it will be good", and he keeps kind of mumbling on about it while I get a strange intuitive feeling that I've been here before. I peer out the window and there's an old house with just the foundations remaining and some wooden boards, only one part of a wall still standing, I think it's strange that there's another house on this property, so I ask myself "what would this be like if I were dreaming?" and start to become more aware and focus on the details of the situation I'm in.
      We pull around and we're infront of a small building, and D is asking his wife who is a doctor [not in RL] for some sort of herb to help me since he thinks I'm going crazy [probably an effect of my increased awareness, mind tricking/distracting me]. Then suddenly I'm in an old one room building with big cobblestone walls and a dirt floor , huge oak 6x6 rafters vaulting above, D sitting with our neighbor at a series of long dark wooden tables discussing how I think that I'm dreaming and they need to do something to help me.
      At this point I do my nose plug RC and I can breathe in, although my nose is stuffed up and it's kind of hard to tell, but I declare the test successful. I feel nervous about flying [first instinct] so I swing myself up onto the beams and start climbing around like a squirrel on all fours, jumping and hanging off of the beams just having some plain and simple fun, laughing at David and telling him that I'm dreaming.

      The lucid stops pretty soon after when my alarm goes off for work.

      So yeah, a quick and fun lucid, it felt light and refreshing. I'm still amazed of the feeling of the absolute clarity of my lucid dreams and body. I find it so hard to tell the difference, but this has also inspired me to check my surroundings and RC with more.. well, conviction, since I have the feeling in my bones of what it's like to be in a lucid after having a few this month. It's just like waking life! CRRAAZZZYY.

      I need to find another type of reliable RC, I don't like the hands one too much, and while I do the text-turn away-read again RC every day, I don't usually find myself in an area with a clock or text while I'm dreaming. Will investigate/try to create one next time I LD, like see how easy it is for me to do certain things like produce powers or telekenisis. I will also remember my intention to not fly or do anything crazy, and focus my attention on the dream scene and establishing a technique for improving my clarity and awareness.

      Also, if you haven't read it juroara wrote a great thread on Dream Affirmations, can help those struggling with MILD and will-power/belief.

      Awesome stuff. I'm happy and excited that I had two LD's in a week!

    13. Flying, False Awakenings, Shared Dreams _ DILD #3

      by , 10-30-2010 at 05:18 PM
      Here is how this happened.
      I had two alarms set up to attempt a WBTB WILD this morning, one at 4:30AM, and the other at 6:00AM. I woke up at 4:30 and fell back asleep, same with the 6:00 alarm. I woke up again around 7:00, went back to bed, woke up around 8:00, fell back asleep, and had this LD. I think I have strong REM rebounds from 7:00-9:00AM. So failing a WILD isn't always a bad thing.

      Low Lucid awareness/vividness
      Higher Lucid vividness/awareness
      Normal dream

      This whole thing starts off with my friend Rich and I. We were in a large field at this Marine Corps base where Marines and other soldiers were training. I was sort of in the mindset that we were dreaming, because I remember having dialogue with Rich about how we would go mess around and steal weapons in the dream. So I'll say this is lucid. So we crossed this field and were inside the base, we ran into this courtyard past Marines running in formation and everything. We run along a walkway and see all these plastic, fake looking M4's and other rifles lying around that looked like the blank firing training rifles they use. Then we found this large plastic bin full of old tactical vests, and after digging through I found a cool tan vest that had an inflated top part for water operations I guess? As we're digging through everything, this drill sergeant comes up to us and asks who we are. I mumble something as we still look through everything, and he says something like "Oh, keep doing inventory." He must of thought we were personnel checking equipment. Then he looked at my friend Rich and asked, "How old are you guys?". He then realized we broke in and got pissed off. I remember him saying something like, grab your stuff, and meet in the stalls, like he wanted to give us swirlies in the toilet..? He grabbed a clipboard and asked Rich what his name was, Rich hesitated and then gave him a fake name. He wrote the name down and told Rich to get out of here and have a nice weekend. (I had this dream on Saturday morning too, hehe) I realized Rich gave him a fake name because this sergeant was trying to enlist us in the Marines. Rich then hopped over the wall back into the field and darted away. He then asked me what my name was, and I said Brett Harris. (Can't believe I can remember that!) Suddenly another drill sergeant came in and mumbled something to him. I remember this other guy wearing a lot of colorful wrist bands you get at concerts and stuff. The sergeant went back to me and asked what we were doing here. "Well, we're dreaming right now and none of this even matters, there are no consequences!" Or maybe I said something along those lines... I then started to run out of there, with the sergeant chasing me. I jumped over the wall, flipping, and flipped the sergeant off as I landed. I saw Rich 50 feet in front of me still walking. I ran over to him, screaming at him to wait up. I caught up to him, grabbed his hand and we both started flying. (Lucid vividness went up a lot here) The Marine base below us turned into a school of some sort filled with all my fellow High School classmates. They were all cheering, waving, and yelling at us. I kept flying with Rich, circling the school. It was such an awesome feeling. I remember seeing small hills surrounding the area, and there was a lot of dead grass covering the field. I remember passing friends in the school as I flew low, they were all cheering me on for the fact that I was lucid, and was flying. I then flew over a hill, and told Rich I was gonna let him fly on his own, I let go of his hand and he took off too. I was then on my own. I wanted to be able to fly better, so I told myself and believed I could fly faster and without falling, and it worked. I then looked at my hands and yelled, clarity, as I rubbed them together. It's an amazing feeling. The dream started to fade, and I remember spinning and rubbing my hands, trying to get the dream going again. It then faded to black.

      False Awakening...
      Next thing I remember, I'm sitting shotgun in my red 1994 F-150 with my friend Forrest. For some reason, I thought Forrest was the one who I just had that awesome LD with, not Rich. I was trying to type on this weird keyboard in the car, thinking about how I have to post this on Facebook and let everyone know that I had this LD. I thought everyone would have dreamt they saw me flying in their dreams too. I asked Forrest if he had the same dream I had, and then we looked at our hands. We both had the same markings on our hand, (it looked like indentations from where a tight rubber band would have been) and I realized that we had a shared dream. I was thinking about how awesome it was to share dreams. Anyways, we were both in my driveway, and my dad was there waving at us as we backed out. Forrest put in the clutch, went into first, gassed it and released the clutch and we were off.

      Then I wake up instantly. And now here I am.

      REGULAR DREAMS IN THIS COLOR!
      CHILD HOOD/EARLY DREAMS IN THIS COLOR!
      Alrigtht lets begin:
      THE FLYING DREAM
      So I was sleeping over at my friends house (i know a little weird) And i was dreaming about something (idk what it was)
      So i start running to my house thinking "If I go to my house I'll wake up!" Then it hit me: I was dreaming
      i often did do the previous thing (go to here and i'll wake up)
      but i never really thought i was dreaming until i saw something about it. After i became lucid i jumped up and began to fly!
      it was kinda weird though since i was in a weird position. But after that i flew pretty much for the rest of the dream. I actually sometimes couldn't fly for a little bit but i quickly came back
      IT WAS AWESOME!
