lucid

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.

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!

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.

Alrigtht lets begin:
LUCID FAIL!
So I was in my neighborhood in the middle of the street between my house and my friends. It was night and it was fall (oddly enough this was in september). And I do the same DILD technique (if i go to my house i'll wake up) And then i realized i was dreaming.
So i try to Fly when suddenly i can't i keep trying and trying but i just can't
i actually tried to summon Jason Vorhees but couldn't do it so i just go inside my house and wake up.
LUCID FAIL!

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!

I am standing on the deck of my old house, I can feel my body in my bed slightly, and remember having just been laying down. "I must be dreaming..." I say, I jump off the deck and start flying. I yell, "I'M DREAMING, YEAH!!!" I feel myself stalling in the air, I slow down.

I then feel myself waking up, I say to myself, "Damn!" and wake up.

Kids

In this dream I was driving two little 3 year old kids to their parent's house. They seemed lost. I remember the little girl sitting on my lap As I was driving. When I got to the place where their parants were I was unsure of how to pick the girl up and put her down without it looking creepy. But somehow i manage to get her into her father's arms safely.

Camp

Something about being at a camp party, can't remember much just walking around a lot.

Lucid

I was floating around some city. I came near a bridge and saw some weird megalithic structure coming out of the river. It was huge and brown. didn't know what to make of it so I floated away.

Fund myself walking on some street in a residential area and spotted Jaas and his gf Haley. I said "hi," to them when I became lucid as I passed but they both gave me a dirty look. I said "fine, if you'll be like that I suppose I'll just fly then."

I flew upwards anjoying my lucidity. i then decided that I should do nothing and stabilize the dream. I got in the cross legged position in mid air and slowly floated down to the curb while fixating my gaze on the dream. As I landed on the curb it felt pretty stable and solid. I decided to try time dilation so I put my hand on the ground, I focused in between my fingers and began counting. I counted to 10 really ast and decided to slow down. I wanted to stop at 12 and did but by then the dream seemed really intense and then it destabilized.

tank bus

some weird dream where I was in a large army house that was being taken over by bad people. I vividly remember jumping and floating down some step. I was trying to get to a big tank bus. I managed to get inside it unnoticed and then started driving it out of the building. My memory fades here.

Big House

I was in some tall house that was under construction. I had to go up stair cases to the top level. Then I went back down. I found a treble light on a deck a few stories up and a supervisor told me to go unplug it. I followed the chord up a few floors and in and out a bunch of rooms while also untangling from other chords. This was very long and tedious.. Eventually I found where the plugin was and unplugged the light.

John M

Had a dream where i ran into an old friend John M at a house party. I said last time i sen him he was a meth head. Bt now he was healthy with a round face, sunglasses and bleach blonde hair. We talked a lot and caught up on old times.

My new GF is a slut.

I was at some house party where a local olds band "Nobody's Shadow" was playing. I had some native gf that was new...We ewnt around the party a lot. At one point I got up and tried to leave the party but the singer of the band persuaded me to stay.

So I went back to the table with my new gf. and people were telling me stories about how she had a new bf every week. There were twin brothers at the party and apparently she dated both of them. One of them went up to me and wanted to fight. I was like, "Are you serious? She's the slut, you should be slapping her... why pick on the poor new innocent guy like me?". then he said something to me which was mean, and I said something dumb like. 'Well perhaps there's Poo poo in your bed... That was me... sheesh." but nobody cracked up.

I was Mr. Darcy. Well sort of. Really I was a woman, impersonating Mr. Darcy. For some strange reason, my goal was to get to Jane. To make her love me. I was going to show her that I was a woman, make her realize that sort of love was okay. I was at a bar, drinking with the rest of the guys. It was actually quite enjoyable. I was tired, so then went to sleep. The next day I was at Jane's house. We were kissing under a tree. Something happened and we needed to run quickly. It was as if we had been discovered. I grabbed her hand and took to the air. I told her it was faster to travel this way. I figured we would just head to the moon when I heard this meow... and my cat licked my ear, waking me up.

October 29, 2010

Popped G/C and Melissa. Bit of a waste. Mantra'd "This is a dream." I love this mantra, now. Short, and does the trick.

The Possession (MILD, I suppose, but I was lucid the whole time)
There was myself and two DC's.

Sylvia and I were witches. We were battling some major undead demon that was able to spawn black banshees. We were in a graveyard, and black banshees spawned all around us. We defeated them, and won. We managed to get right close into the big guy, who I called Vlad. Sylvia staked him (not with a cross, but with an imbued, sharpened bit of wood) and I doused him with imbued water. The water, my dream knowledge quickly told me, was imbued with life energy (this hearkens back to a Final Fantasy trick. If you cast a Life spell on an undead, it instantly "kills" them).

However, something happened in the moment of Vlad's death, and it killed Sylvia also. Back at a house, I was attempting to prop Sylvia up. I still had some life water left from the fight, and I was going to pour some down her throat. Trevor came into the room and saw us. "Oh my god!" he exclaimed.

"Help me prop her up," I instructed him.

He came over and held her up. I poured the rest of the water into her mouth. We looked at each other, and a beat later, her eyes snapped open. Then, she started attacking me! "Sylvia, what the hell!" I shouted.

As we fought, I realized that she was possessed by something evil. "Trevor, hold her down! I need to imbue a different type of water!" I said. He grabbed her from behind and subdued her as I escaped the room.

I went just across the hall into the kitchen. I pulled a pot out of a cupboard next to the stove, but it was really small. This won't do. I hovered my hands around the sides of the pot, and expanded them outwards. The pot changed shape with my motions, expanding to the size of a dutch oven. I conjured water to fill the pot by placing my hand at the bottom, and lifting it upwards. The water level followed my hand. Then, I needed it to boil, so I wiggled my fingers at the pot and watched the water start to ripple, then bubble, then come to a full boil (I was so impressed with the control at this part, too!).

As the water boiled, I held my hands over the water and they started to glow. I spoke an incantation. I can't remember exactly what I said, but I basically instructed the water to cleanse whatever evil is in Sylvia, out of her.

I brought the water (in a water bottle) back in the room, and Trevor had Sylvia held down on the bed. I cleared my throat, and he moved over slightly so I could get the water in her. She glared at me and I told her, "Drink this, now!" I poured some water in her mouth, and she didn't swallow it. In fact, she started gargling it, just to piss me off. I tried to hold her jaw shut and put my hand over her mouth so she would have not other choice but to swallow it. However, it didn't work, and she eventually spit it back out at me.

I dragged her off the bed and could see that whatever evil thingy was trying to possess her, the good Sylvia was fighting it. She was having troubles standing and I taunted the evil spirit, saying it was done.

I dragged evil Sylvia over to the kitchen, and put the pot of now cold water on the floor... and dunked her head in it a few times. She finally swallowed some water, and the evil spirit was defeated. We sat for a moment as she recovered.

I think I actually had 9 dreams or more. Late in the night, I was having really short cycles, about 15-30 minutes each. After a few, I realized I should try to DEILD chain them and then succeeded in having 2 lucids. But I didn't write anything down so my recall of the lucids to spotty and some of the non-lucids in between are lost.

Also, one of my best nights on Zeo. Scored 92. 8h 54m total sleep with 3h 37m in REM.

The Pink Dress
0914: C. Cycle 3 dream. It's Halloween or close to it. I'm in the Daisetta house. I'm arguing with my sister about something. I walk outside and lay on some couch cushions at the street curb. One of the neighbors is a an attractive young woman. An ex-girlfriend? She's dressed in a hot pink party dress with black trim and sunglasses. I thought of Marilyn Monroe. I guess it's a Halloween costume. She's walking around me, as if trying to arouse me or make me jealous. She has a younger sister of about 10 years who is also in a dress and is mimicking her older sister. The little girl is stumbling around in high heels and it's kinda funny. At one point, the little girls says "I just ate my burning bush." The older girl and I both laugh.

WBTB, 10 minutes

Family, TV Show
1025: D. Jumpy. Not sure of the order here. Sharing a room with my sister. I am folding laundry. She has written on a dry-erase board: "DO PIANO." She says something to my mother about Tai Chi. Watching the Jay Leno show. In the audience are a bunch of women from the army. They play 20 questions with the male actor guest. I recognized him but can't think of his name. In the dream, they call him "Clausen."

Sleazy Game Show Director
1111: C. No dreambody for me. Just watching like a movie. Two twin teenage girls wandering in the middle of nowhere. They hear voices coming from an abandoned warehouse. Inside, they find what looks like the filming set of a television game show. But all the people are just cardboard cutouts. There's only one real man who is "directing" this strange show. He's really sleazy. The girls approach him and he tries to convince them to appear on camera.

fragment
1130: D. This is where the really short dreams started. Man has a book of jokes. He's reading them aloud and laughing. In the floor are grooves on in the grooves are marbles. So you can place a chair on the marbles and slide it around.

Mocking Note-Taking
1145: C. I'm in my own bedroom with friends H, B, and D. H is explaining something. My television screen has been unplugged and moved on to my desk. I have a pen and am pretending to take notes on what H is saying on the palm of my hand. I'm trying to make B and D laugh. The conversation gets sidetracked by my prank and H is interrupted.

First Lucid, Angry
Method DILD (prospective memory)
Lucidity C
Control D
Vividness C
I am in the bedroom of the Daisetta house. H is also here with a bunch of other DCs who I suppose are his friends. I don't know them but we are all hanging out and it's cool. I am wearing pajamas and at some point I rip my pants. The DCs all tease me and I get really embarrassed and angry. I storm off to the kitchen and sit in a chair to stew in my anger. Occasionally, the DCs would pass by on their way to the fridge and would tease me more. As I'm thinking, I remember my intention to become lucid and become lucid. I nose-plug RC. Then I grab one of the mean DCs, lift him up, and throw him out the front door. I do this with a couple other of the DCs. Now everyone is upset at me. I walk outside. It's dark of night. The street is lit with the red and blue flashing lights of police cars. Dream fades.

there were some short non-lucids in between here, but I can't recall any details

Second Lucid, Task Attempts
Method DEILD
Lucidity C
Control C
Vividness C
From a non-lucid, I DEILD into this one. I was trying to re-enter the scene from the earlier lucid. The scene ended up being similar but not the same. I'm on a dark street in a residential neighborhood. Across the street is a gas station. I try to remember my goal for today. I was actually summon a bunch of my friends and have a party. But in this dream, all I remembered was to try summoning. So I try summoning S from work with the turn-around technique. I try and fail several times. Then I think to call her. I don't have my phone. I walk to the convenience store in the gas station, hoping to buy a prepaid cell phone. There are two attendants inside. They are arguing over something. I'm reminded of a scene from the movie Encino Man (wow that was a long time ago). I get impatient and just steal one of their personal cell phones. I don't actually know S's phone number so I just dial a bunch of random numbers. It rings and goes to her voice mail. Her outgoing message is weird. Half way through it, I start to will the message to be more personal. At the end she says "I love you." Not very satisfying.

I decide to do something else. Many of my recent lucids have been kinda weak and unfocused like this. I walk through the neighborhood and find a group of DCs sitting in what looks like a line of roller coaster cars. But they are just on the ground on the sidewalk. I talk to one pair of women. I think they are in their 30s. One has long black hair and is wearing a blue blouse. I don't remember what we talked about. Here, lucidity fades and I don't recall any more of the dream.

a few more short non-lucids that I don't recall anything detail about

This isn't a dream post in the regular sense, this is more of food for thought. Different (not new) ideas about dreaming. I mention God, and soul, but there isn't a specific religion, and this isn't me preaching. I don't mean to offend anyone, or take anyone's enjoyment out of Lucid dreaming, if you don't agree, that is perfectly fine, but this post is more for the thinkers on the sight. Also I don't take on sides of Astral Projecting/OBEing/Lucid dreaming. Instead I think of them more of experiences than any kind of category. I will post a link to a new thread, so please do not comment here. Comment on the actual post. Thanks, and enjoy!

What if lucid dreaming was more than dreaming while being conscious What if it was a gateway to another world? Think about it, all of the dream characters some of them you have never seen before, what if they were actual beings? Sure some of them are just DCs representing you, but what if there were others that weren't? Today I took an hour long nap, a successful wild! After several failed attempts at realizing FAs, I finally started to think, I ended getting out of my bed at my place of work. From there the rest were LDs. This isn't going to be a post about my specific LDs (coming shortly), they are about my ideas that I ended up with during the dream.

I want to make a few notes about what I have discovered in the dream world today. First DCs are representations of yourself. What ever your thinking, that DC will be saying. I noticed several times when I was thinking or talking to myself, a nearby DC was repeating it, at first I didn't think anything of it, since it always happened, but now I paid attention to what I was thinking, and who was talking. The exact same thing. Now this idea goes further with, whatever your doing (just not controlling the dream world, instead just letting it happen) will be done to you. I noticed a DC eating something, but for some odd reason my mouth felt like it was full of food and I couldn't do anything. I didn't put two and two together until today as I have had that happen several times. Other properties about yourself can be manipulated by a DC along with the DC can manipulate yourself. You almost trick yourself out when in a dreamworld. Once I understood this, then I could control anything I wanted. I could fly at will (no arm flailing), summon tornadoes, breathe underwater, run super fast, read minds (my own haha), shoot energy blasts, and tons of others when the other night all I could do was explore. Flying was the best one I got the hang of it, no more butterflies, just the excitement to be able to fly! I used to walk my dog at night, and looked up into the sky and said I wish cool nights like this were in my dreams, and that I could fly! Today it happened! More to what I accomplished in the actual dream journal entry!

Have you ever heard a radio in your dreams? For me I never noticed until now, but there were always some kind of background noise somewhere. Once I started listening to it I found the source. It sounded like rapid clips of commercials, shows, and songs put together, and having it play super fast. Kind of sounds like channel surfing. You have the white noise, and occasionally you'll come across a channel that works and hear it for a second until you switch it. Now imagine there are hidden messages within it. It seems like your being is being contacted (no pun intended) by another being through this. I listened closely at it. First I thought it was just everything I heard today being played at a super fast rate, that my subconscious was playing it out. Then I thought it was all of my thoughts playing at a super alarming rate, since my dream is within my head, people can speak as fast as they think! there are no physical limits.

Then I heard the word God a couple of times and sat down next to it and listened. It brought up all of my concerns about dieing. It even said I had till Halloween night, or right around it until I was going to die. Then an announcer came on the speaker phone of were I was at and asked if there was some body named something was there, I couldn't remember the name. And the radio laughed and said never mind. They said that i was afraid of being just short of making it into purgatory and that I was afraid I would end up in hell. That was correct, that is what I am afraid of, not death itself. They said something about cleaning up my act, and that I would make it to heaven eventually, I just have to make peace with God. Then I tried asking a question but the radio shut off. It turned back on after a couple of minutes and said that what I was experiencing was part of the afterlife, since we have a soul we are able to just barely connect with other souls. But there are still DCs that were just DCs made up by my mind.

Then I met two people who escorted me around my dream, I asked questions about this afterlife thought, and said it was true. I just thought back to when somebody on here said DCs tend to try and trick you into believing your not dreaming. So I denied it for a couple of seconds until I thought of something. I asked well aren't you two apart of my dream, so I can control you, and I attempted to control them and their actions, but I couldn't. I could do it on everything else, but couldn't on them. So I began to wonder about it. They said we were able to control what we called a "dream" by physical manipulation of the environment. Since there were no laws of physics, I could fly, but it was me flying, it was the environment bending to what I wanted. Objects can appear, because the environment put them there, not us. That is why we have to turn around think of something, then turn back around and it is there. Then shortly after all of these thoughts I woke up, but with brand new ideas of what the meaning of our dreams, and why we have them.

I noticed a DC eating something, but for some odd reason my mouth felt like it was full of food and I couldn't do anything. I didn't put two and two together until today as I have had that happen several times. Other properties about yourself can be manipulated by a DC along with the DC can manipulate yourself. You almost trick yourself out when in a dreamworld. Once I understood this, then I could control anything I wanted. I could fly at will (no arm flailing), summon tornadoes, breathe underwater, run super fast, read minds (my own haha), shoot energy blasts, and tons of others when the other night all I could do was explore. Flying was the best one I got the hang of it, no more butterflies, just the excitement to be able to fly! I used to walk my dog at night, and looked up into the sky and said I wish cool nights like this were in my dreams, and that I could fly! Today it happened! More to what I accomplished in the actual dream journal entry!

Have you ever heard a radio in your dreams? For me I never noticed until now, but there were always some kind of background noise somewhere. Once I started listening to it I found the source. It sounded like rapid clips of commercials, shows, and songs put together, and having it play super fast. Kind of sounds like channel surfing. You have the white noise, and occasionally you'll come across a channel that works and hear it for a second until you switch it. Now imagine there are hidden messages within it. It seems like your being is being contacted (no pun intended) by another being through this. I listened closely at it.

First I thought it was just everything I heard today being played at a super fast rate, that my subconscious was playing it out. Then I thought it was all of my thoughts playing at a super alarming rate, since my dream is within my head, people can speak as fast as they think! There are no physical limits. Then I heard the word God a couple of times and sat down next to it and listened. It brought up all of my concerns about dieing. It even said I had till Halloween night, or right around it until I was going to die. Then an announcer came on the speaker phone of were I was at and asked if there was some body named something was there, I couldn't remember the name. And the radio laughed and said never mind. They said that i was afraid of being just short of making it into purgatory and that I was afraid I would end up in hell. That was correct, that is what I am afraid of, not death itself. They said something about cleaning up my act, and that I would make it to heaven eventually, I just have to make peace with God. Then I tried asking a question but the radio shut off. It turned back on after a couple of minutes and said that what I was experiencing was part of the afterlife. Since we have a soul we are able to just barely connect with other souls. But there are still dream characters that were just made up by my mind.

Then I met two people who escorted me around my dream, I asked questions about this afterlife thought, and said it was true. I just thought back to when somebody on here said dream characters tend to try and trick you into believing your not dreaming. So I denied it for a couple of seconds until I thought of something. I asked well aren't you two apart of my dream, so I can control you, and I attempted to control them and their actions, but I couldn't. I could do it on everything else, but couldn't on them.

So I began to wonder about it. They said we were able to control what we called a "dream" by physical manipulation of the environment. Since there were no laws of physics, I could fly, but it was not me flying, it was the environment bending to what I wanted. Objects can appear, because the environment put them there, not us. That is why we have to turn around think of something, then turn back around and it is there. Then shortly after all of these thoughts I woke up, but with brand new ideas of what the meaning of our dreams, and why we have them.

this was a pretty cool lucid for me.
Im sitting in the living room with my little brother. Its around noon and for no reason I do an RC and become lucid. I phase through the window and fly out of the room laughing my head off. I hear my brother laughing right behind me, while flying. So Im bouncing him like a basketball while I fly to mess with him. We both land and we start fighting. We fight dbz style and I grab his ankle and throw him like ten metres. While he tries to get up im imagining a hot chick walking down the driveway to meet me. I grab a stone and turn my hand into stone so I can KO my brother. Instead these three dogs that look like my dogs come running at me.

I remember a nightmare exactly like this so I drop the stone and run up the driveway. Im running so fricken slowly. Im punching the dogs to keep them at bay when I see someone on a motorized scooter going in the same direction. I grab the guy and throw him into the dogs. I get to the gate and look in my pocket and find the remote. I open the gate, escape and close it before the dogs can escape. I turn around and theres this security guard waiting there smoking a joint. Hes holding an Uzi and he tells me that my dream should have ended with me being mauled by the dogs. I think to myself “im bulletproof”, and he replies” no you’re not bulletproof”. He pulls the trigger and riddles my chest with bullets.

They fly through me like a knife through butter. My chest feels wet. Then I remember something I read on dreamviews that mzzkc wrote where he regenerated. I look up at him with this fricken crazy look and scream “ im regenerating motherfucker!” he gets really scared and asks if I know how to kill him. I put my hand on his face and concentrate my energy there. He starts falling backwards and I grab his gun and shoot the sh!t out of him. The my alarm goes off and I wake up.

I ‘wake up’ in my bed and try to turn off the ceiling fan but the buttons wont work. I RC and become lucid.i fly through my bedroom window and land on my roof. Its dark outside and my dreams starts going fuzzy. I imagine going around in circles and stabilize the dream. All of a sudden im floating in the air face to face with ulquiorra from bleach. We immediately start fighting without swords and im pawning this guy. I try to use that demon art where electricity shoots from my fingers but I miss and he flies away. I wake myself up to record this dream.

Woah what a night. The dream starts off with me in my old primary school buildings, walking in the corridor playing music on loudspeaker. There’s a bunch of people walking around me so it must have been a corridor or something. I see a teacher walking toward me and try to turn off the music but it wont stop. The teacher tells me to hand it over and I outright ignore him. I try walk away from him but he follows me and I eventually give it to him. Then all of a sudden my teacher transforms into someone else. I ask him if he would have still taken it if Meyer was around and hes like obviously not.
So I walk into the toilet and im greeted by this horrific scene. Theres a dead person lying in the urinal, but I ignore him coz I need to piss. When I look back at him hes turned into my dog(which is missing its head) so I walk out of the toilet and end up outside. Im walking up a hill. I see my sister from far and become lucid. This crazy lady with a dodgy looking hyperdermic needle comes to me and starts stabbing me with it. Im lucid so I know it wont hurt me. I try to fly away but this sudden gust of wind pushes down on me. Eventually I overcome the wind and fly off into the sky. I end up back home and my dad says something about me being a threat. I know that hes going to want to fight so I fly through the ceiling. I keep going through layer after layer until I end up in space. I figure the reason why so little people on dreamviews have come here is because this place is so hard to find. I lose lucidity here and the dream ends with these army people fighting each other on different planets.
