lucid

Started With a False Awakining, Did a RC and found out i was dreaming,

So i did a few stabalizing techs and found my self quite stable.
And disliked the pitch black that was in the room and closed my eyes saying my self a diffrent location.
I open to find its still black. But now im in a hotel Room in Drango.
I did this again hoping for light and what do you know,
A lit room.

So now me being amazed.
I take a few deep breaths and begin to "PLAY"
i start with my mirror thats in the bathroom of the hotel.
I look in it to see my self. PERFECTLY NORMAL!
so i did another rc.
Breathing though a Stoped nose
and there we are! STILL DREAMING!
so i tryed to morph my self.
Put my hand over my Eye.
And Had a image in mind.
then poof.
I look like a 60 year old italin bastard Selvester Stalone.
i was so happy!
kinda forgot what happens here.
but then i find my self in the kitchen, i go to the Frige and get a Soda.
And it tasted like Air and Water.
lol?


Any way, To conclude.


LUCID DREAMING IS F***ING AWESOME

Strange Atmosphere
Clarity: 8/10
Importance: 6/10
Sleep: Nap
Sleep Position: Unknown

I'm in a bar with my brother, but sitting alone and not drinking. Sue, who's working the bar, buys me a drink, and I wonder if she's hitting on me. I go outside, walk for a bit, then want to return to the bar. I run down a grassy hill towards it. Along the way I pass another bar and grab the corner of it, dragging the whole bar towards the one at the bottom of the hill. The bar I'm pulling begins to slide and it's corner collides with the corner of the other bar. Everyone on the patio spills their drinks from the impact, and I try haft heartedly to tell them about me dragging the other bar here.

I hit it off with this one girl, and we're having a good time when this bitch comes up and tries to ruin it. She says something about the girl I'm with being friends with my older sister from their college days (don't have a sister), and she's breaking some rule or trust being with me. We ignore her.

The girl I'm with comments on the strange atmosphere, and I notice it too. "It's almost like something is about to happen" I say. That something is a small army of sentient lawnmowers that cruise around outside. The lawnmowers encounter a group of zombies, and the lawnmowers and zombies pair off and begin to dance.

I'm now walking down the city street, and that strange vibe is still in the air. I cut through a path in the bushes and encounter a strange creature, so I back off to the street again. There I a evil looking 40 foot giant with elvish features, and retreat back to the bushes to hide from it. That first creature is gone, and I cut through some yards and back to the street away from the giant. I reason that these strange creatures are from a movie poster I saw, and I'm somehow playing out the story.

As I continue my walk down the street, I see a large transport truck collide with a tanker carrying gasoline, one of three gas tankers in a row. The impact ruptures the tank, and gas begins to gush everywhere. I see some flames, and fearing the coming explosion, run the hell out of there. I hear the explosion behind me and a sewer lid in front of me explodes upwards with a blast coming out of the sewer.

I continue walking down the street at night and notice my shoes are like wooden clogs, only made of large hollowed out carrots. Shortly after, that peculiar atmosphere tips me off that I'm dreaming!

Lacking clear lucid goals, I just force myself to levitate and take off on the first attempt. I rise higher and higher, starting to move forward slowly until I lose my power of flight and crash to the ground. My bare feet slap the pavement painfully on impact. I think of summoning some shoes, or finding a place to get some, then think that's a dumb idea. I don't really need shoes, and the pain I felt can be avoided by not thinking about my bare feet.

To prove that point, I fix my attention on a car driving down the street towards me. I run towards the car, jump into the air, and drop kick the windshield, putting a large hole in it. I felt nothing on my bare feet this time. To further test this out, I kick at the jagged edges of the windshield with my bare feet, making the hole bigger. Maintaining the proper focus, I still feel nothing.

Another car is driving down the road towards me, and I charge towards it and slam into the front with my shoulder. The car stops dead, the back end lifting up then crashing back down. Having sufficiently flexed my lucid muscle, I take to the skies again and fly around.

I fly through a window into someone's apartment, expecting them to freak on me, but nobody is home. I walk through the apartment into the hall and my lucidity ends. I now think this is the building I live in, and go to my apartment. There is some dream unstability with the layout, rooms changing and not connecting properly.

I go to my bedroom, and it's really tiny, just room for the bed. On the floor is a machettee with the ends of peperonis stuck to the blade. I think it's gross I left meat on the floor and begin cleaning it up. Then I clean my bed and large amounts of dust come off the blankets.

[SIZE=2]Looking out of the window, the night sky is breathtaking. Stars are everywhere; thousands of constellations slowly twirling, expanding, and shrinking. There are two moons, one on the left, and the other on the right. Slowly a sun emerges from nowhere and keeps on rising. It is dark red, with a cool, soft glow. The glow illuminates only a very small portion of the sky around the edge, so it appears almost embedded in the darkness. Vincent stands next to me and I point out the oddity to him, yet I have not become lucid. What a bummer, as this must be the 100th time I’ve seen this kind of thing in my dreams. Next time I just have to remember to do realty check when I see sky like this.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]…[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2][COLOR=navy]I suddenly become aware that I am dreaming. I perform the breathing RC technique and confirm I’m indeed dreaming. Oddly, the dream contains no visuals, so I basically lie there in limbo, surrounded by total darkness and void. I squeeze my hands; the sensation seems to make the dream become richer. Then I squeeze too hard I wake up.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]…[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I need to go somewhere and I find Bob’s BMW 760 parked outside. I jump in and drive away. I never quite liked the car because I always thought it felt plastic and the interior is too clustered. Now in this dream it becomes so much worse it feels totally claustrophobic. And the car seems to have a mind of its own and impossible to steer. There is someone on the passenger side but I cannot remember who that is. I temporarily switch to third person view and see from above as the car crashes into a black car parked roadside. The black car rolls into a large pit on the ground. [COLOR=navy]I become very nervous about the damage and suddenly I remember to perform an RC. The usual breathing check works and I become lucid.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Resisting the urge to fly I decide I should observe more instead of immediately playing God. I’m still in the car, but it now resembles more of a stretched limousine than a BMW. I pay special attention to some of the details, and am amazed by how real the wood work looks. The passenger turns out to be a total stranger, a male in his late 30s, square face and dark complexion, not the type I typically want to associate with. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]“Do you know you are in my dream?” I ask. I cannot remember what his reply is, but I remember it being something completely makes no sense, and I feel slightly disappointed at the lack of intelligence of my DCs. Yet I myself must be even more idiotic at this lower level of lucidity, so I proceed to ask him whether he knows the TRUTH. All I get is blank stares. I give up and get out of the car.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]There is a forest nearby, and nothing unusual and spectacular, so I secretly try to make a portal appear so I can teleport to somewhere more exciting. Since I want to do this discreetly I cannot put forth to much effort, so I fail to make anything happen. I decide to go with the flow and follow my companion who is by now a somewhat evil looking elf. He leads me through the woods, and stops in front of a wooden cabin. I have the feeling he is planning something evil, but I am not afraid. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=2]I enter the room and there is a large machine on the floor which looks like a torture/execution device. Tools such as knives, axes, and chainsaws lay scattered everywhere. The elf then signals me to get on the machine so he can cut me into pieces. Seeing that I’m not cooperating, he approaches me with a rope in his hands. Even knowing I’m in a dream and I cannot be hurt, I don’t find the idea entertaining, so I throw him onto the device with my telekinesis power. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]I press him against the bench and grabbed a knife. He appears scared but I somehow know he is really not. I then proceed to cut him, creating a wound that’s about one inch deep and three or four inches wide. He screams but again I know he is not really in much pain. The skin is blue, thick, and feels like rubber. He does not bleed. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=2]Sensing that he is not really scared, I suddenly become angry. I see a large chainsaw on the floor and want to use that to threaten him. What a mistake! I forget that telekinesis power has never been entirely under my control in any of my LDs. With a slight gesture of my other hand, the chainsaw bounces up and fly quickly across the room, with the blade facing my hand. It is much too quick and I get scared. I pull my hand back so hard I wake up instantly.[/SIZE]

First lucid! WOW (Non-lucid)
13/09/10
NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

It was nearly a month ago, but i should write it some time so why not right now? I 'll write it exactly as i wrote it on paper, after waking up.
Here it goes:

~~~
I just had my first lucid dream! It was awesome!
I flew, drove a mustang-go-kart, i looked at my hands and they were messed up, i saw S., A., and some random guys from school.
I was already watching a really long dream (never wrote that down). At some point i was sitting down in a pretty destroyed and messed up place. There were some electricity fences in the ground. Then i saw 5 little rainbows near my hands and that seemed weird. I did a reality check. I pinched my nose and tried to breath. And i could! I stood up, still holding my nose and feeling my consiousness coming to life. There was a guy there. He saw my (obviously) freaked out face and said: "what's wrong?". I was really hapy at that time so i just ignored him and turned away. I calmed down. There was a really strange feeling in the whole thing, it didn't bother me though. I walked a little and stopped. First thing that came to mind was "try to fly". I remembered something i read in the forum. "A simple way to try and fly is to lift your legs and float". So i looked at my legs and just lifted them up. What happened is that i hit the ground on my knees. LOL fail. Luckily there was no pain. I stood up and looked at my hands. They SUCKED! Disformed, distorted and generally messed up. I found that very funny. When i saw them i just said "WOW" and started laughing! At that point the dream started fading.
*
I closed my eyes and started spinning and thinking that i want to go to a big city. And there i was! I jumped trying to fly. I stretched my arms in a superman-like way and after a while i finally made it. The feeling was not as i expected, but i hope i 'll get better. As i was flying the dream started fading again.
*
I started spinning again. This time i end up inside a building. It was like a big hotel, or mall or something... There are lots of people for the first time. I decide to look for some friend. I look for D. Didn't show up anywhere. I saw a girl with red hair, who got my attention for some reason. I believed that i would talk to her and she would reveal me that she is my dream guide. I walked towards her. I touched her back of the neck. She turned around and told me "Do we know each other?". I asnwered "Not yet" in english. (EPIC ROFL. my main language is greek and she spoke greek... So it was really like "i m so cool and confident" in a bad way, which i am not in real life. :p). So as i hold her neck someone friendly bumped me on my back. It was my friend A. We shook hands and i noticed he had square-shaped eyes and small mouth and something was wrong with his face in general. :p Anyway the girl left and i don't remember anything else about A. As i was leaving i saw a girl that looked like D. I call her name multiple times and at some point she turns around and looks at me and i say "uhm, sorry i was wrong". Then i notice she has HUGE eyebrows and i say "pffhahahaha not even close". I laughed really hard, she laughed too and i left. (i am so mean in my dreams... xD). That room looked like a restaurant with people waiting to grab their food and pay. There was a double door, which seemed to be an exit. I open it and everything becomes really bright to total white and the dream is fading AGAIN.
*
Same spinning thing. I thought i 'd like to end up on the Eiffel Tower, to try and fly again. :p I ended up in a village, in the middle of a forest and i could see a big tower pretty far away and it didn't even look like the Eiffel Tower. By the way my right eye remained closed. I couldn't open it. I tried to force my eye open with my fingers, but i couldn't see well and i felt something like a drop coming from my eye. I close my eyes and try to sense my face with my hands.
*
I open my eyes and find myself on a road in the forest with both eyes opened. There are many parked cars, but no traffic, no people. I think about spawning some cars. I thought it would be nice if i saw a ferrari between some parked cars. So i turned my back on some cars, and i focused to believe that there will indeed be a ferrari there when i turn around. And there it was! I walked that way, but as i went closer it didn't look like a ferrari. Like all the cars changed to super-futuristic versions... I didn't like it a lot, so i think really fast "wouldn't it be great if there was a mustang shelby right behind me?". I turn around and i see a mustang shelby coming and stopping in front of me. At that point i kinda freaked out. I looked around like thinking "are you kidding me? is this a joke?" When i looked at the car again it was changed to something like a mustang-shelby-kart... I can't explain or describe it very well. "uhh why not?" I sit in it and hit the accelerator. The gearbox was automatic. I didn't like it. I look for a switch to change it. Next to the steering wheel i see a really small switch with a symbol like "H" on it only with three vertical lines (like the one on the manual shifters (i use a translator for all this car parts. sorry if they're wrong)). That switch did the job. The gear box was manual now. The pedals were strange in shape. Pretty draft quality and inconvenient. Fail. I drove it for a little but i got bored. I wanted to fly again (lol). I tried 2-3 time, especially when i saw wolves coming in the plane. But i couldn't get high. Anyway. I look at a wolf and suddenly small rockets or maybe big bullets, start falling around him. I felt it was people from the village shooting to kill it. The wolf got really scared and while trying to run away he run towards me. I was worried that i would take fire because of the wolf coming near me. So i managed to avoid it the first time. Then it comes back. I jump to my left.
*
The dream fades and i start spinning again, but i stop. I was really excited and wanted to wake up and write all these things down. Everything gets black. I can see, feel, sense nothing. I can only hear a song which i don't know in my waking life. It lasted 2-3 seconds. The song faded out. I started feeling the bed and listening to noises outside my room. I get up and write ALL THESE.
I just did a reality check. I am awake! :p
YEAH!
~~~

That was it. It really amazed me that i could do all this stuff. I always thought my first lucid would last a few seconds and i would wake up from my excitement. But as you can see it was not like this at all. That whole thing gave me a feeling it was about 20-30 minutes long... Instead my second lucid, lasted 10 seconds and i didn't manage to hold it. :p
Have a nice day. Sorry for that enormous post.

This lucid dream was finally more controllable than before, and a tad bit vivid.

It started out where I think I was in my room at my dad's house. I don't know if I was sitting on my bed or not; it was blurry. I did the nose RC a couple times, and pinched myself. And I was lucid.

I'm not sure how I got there, but I was in the kitchen at my mom's house. It was weird, because some of it was the kitchen but then the scenery faded out into some sort of ruins.

Anyways, I was standing close to the island (counter in the middle with 2 stools) and I saw my friend and another girl run by. I can't recall what happened next, but I remember laying on the floor.

Then I remember that I wanted to see my friend Mike in the dream. I started spinning, hoping that the environment would change. It didn't much. I walked over to my mom and told her that I was lucid and to RC. She said she would in a minute. (lol?)

I'm not sure if i was still lucid, but I remember seeing a "commercial" about alarms (much like the CAN-WILD alarm) that were being sold for 28$ each ring. (talk about expensive) I also remember a commercial about these buttons that you would press in your sleep and it would transform you into something n your dream. Very strange.
No more recall, I think I woke up.

Sassy
I remember being in my math teacher's room. There were about 10 of my classmates there. I remember talking about classmate with my friend, and we were laughing.

I noticed I had a can of Aussie hairspray and sprayed it. (I guess I thought it was air freshener?)
Then Sam got a text from my mom. I was in the front of the room when she told me, "Momma said that she's at a 5 hour restaurant." (what is a 5 hour restaurant?)
Then Mike said something but I can't remember.
I said, "Yeah, she's bringing us food." (in a smart alecy tone) While rotating my head (lol).
Then I heard someone in the back go "oooooh"
After this I remember saying, "Then again, she's probably not bringing us any."

Then I remember going back to the back of the room and spraying that hairspray again. I yelled, "Mmm! Smells like sweet tarts!" (lol)
That's all I remember

Date: 04.10.2010
Vividness: High
Induction: WILD (WBTB)

Real/Comment - Non Lucid - Lucid

This is my second successful WILD. The problems I had last time persist, I get into SP very easily, but I have a very hard time moving on from there.
I zoned in and out a lot. I often felt like I was about to enter a dream, there was a scene although it was not quite clear,
but I had basic knowledge what it consisted of and which DC’s would be there. This usually only lasted for a few seconds at most though.
At one point my whole body started to tickle stronger and stronger by the second.

Suddenly, my dream body was shot away at high speed, like a ball from a cannon.
I couldn't see anything, but I could feel that I was falling “back to earth”. Although I had no vision, I knew when to expect the impact,
and I knew it wouldn't hurt. I was hoping very hard that I was finally entering my dream and that my vision would be restored, and so it was.

After a rough landing, I found myself in the garden of an old neighbor of mine. (I used to live in that street over 10 years ago)
The landing didn’t hurt whatsoever. Since there was no doubt in my mind that I was dreaming I skipped the reality checks (I completely forgot they exist).
I tried some stabilization techniques next. First I rubbed my hands together. The sensation was strong, but slightly different from real life.
I started to move out of the garden, whilst touching everything I could find. I was very impressed how strong the sensation of touching things was.
At one point I accidentally touched a bee that was sitting on a flower. It buzzed, but did not seem to care.

I decided to go with the dream this time, and just see where it would lead me. Since I found myself in front of the house,
I proceeded to the door and wanted to ring the bell, but some old guy already opened the door.

At first he had no idea who I was, but that didn’t prevent him from handing me a cup of champagne.
I didn’t know him either at first, but suddenly he seemed to hate me. My presence annoyed him so much that he just walked away.
At this point… for some reason, I realized I knew him for a long time, and I knew we weren’t getting along.
I drank the champagne, it tasted exactly like its real world counterpart; it was a good French one too.
Since he left the door open, I entered the house and found a young girl just standing there.

She was not the one I was looking for though; I was looking for her older sister: my pregnant girlfriend.
The whole sensation was absolutely amazing. She was sitting on a couch, possibly looking at TV.
She was immensely happy to see me, and she was very cute. Her belly clearly showed that she was pregnant, although it wasn’t very big yet.
The love I felt for the women and my future child at that moment was so strong and so impressive.
I couldn't imagine living without this girl or my soon to be born child.
We gave each other a long hug and decided to go for a walk outside. Unfortunately, and very suddenly...

I felt a "click" in my body, like flicking a light switch, something had changed...
I was back in my real body, in SP, and I could no longer move my dream body. The dream started to fade away.
I wanted to try spinning to prolong the dream, but I couldn’t since I was stuck in my real body, and I couldn’t move due to SP.

I decided to end the SP and take notes of the dream as long as I was still able to remember it clearly.
It is only then I realized how impressive that dream really was.
Right now, having a child would be absolutely horrible for me.
I don’t really get along with young children and I have no interest whatsoever in having a child right now.

However, in the dream, I was clearly able to experience what it would feel like if I wanted to have a child and possibly get married, and I enjoyed it a lot.
This is the first time I knowingly had "false memories", I couldn't imagine that they would be so strong.
I was quite sad that the dream had ended early, but thought that I’d be looking forward to experience other sensations and emotions that I am currently unable to have in real life.

Huzzah! This puts me almost to my goal for this month! I even managed to do a successful stabilize and dream spin. (Though the stabilize didn't last long.)

Anywho, this makes my first confirmed successful MILD. Like my first LD, I ended up doing 2 RCs. After my first RC, I stabilized my excitement by looking at my left hand with great interest for a bit, this cleared things up and kept me from waking up... However, I somehow got the idea that a plane was going to crash into the room.

It did and everything froze and went dark, so I spun (Repeating 'You're dreaming' to not lose lucidity) and when I stopped there was an out of focus square white light. I wen towards it and it put me in a new dream. I RCed again and woke up.

Huge success! Truncated heavily, but I'm still on a character limit.

The dream started in a boiler room. I was not lucid at this point. Strangely enough, I saw Freddy Krueger. I remember not fearing him at all. I felt as if he was just there, as if I was "seeing gravity." I saw him run up to me, unopposed I let him have a go at my throat. I felt a sudden surge of fear at that moment, but felt nothing. This is when I awoke, but it was not my room. At this point I remembered reading of false awakening and I realized I was not in reality.. At that point I heard a scraping at my door. When I looked up my arm was extended with Freddy's glove on it. I then remember jumping from the second story of the home, only to discover the ground was endless. I stuck out my hand as to catch myself. In doing so I clutched a ledge that I had not seen before. Above that ledge was a series of manors. I ran straight for the manor only to find they were merely an image. As I remained running through the mansions, I came to the final home. My grandfather's home from my childhood. We spent nearly a year their when I was a very young child. I was always fearful of this place, I believed there was something wrong, and this came to life in my dream. I saw images of all my dead relatives, and I decided I'd like to see my late father. When confronted with him, walking into the room, with not a clear view of his face, I awoke.

Took a B-Complex supplement about 2 hours before sleep and also sipped some natural apple juice throughout the night.

Colored String Competition
0200: C. In a competition. Each player has a small plastic toy bow (as in bow-and-arrow) with a colored piece of string. There are about 10 people including me. Some are vaguely familiar. There is a host, like it's a game show. The goal is to guess the color of other's strings. I think mine is plain white. The host guides us through a few rounds. Then one round is tricky. The choice is between two people who have pink and red. We are supposed to guess which is which. Only me and one other girl get it right. Actually, I just copy her guess. I realize she is Lexi, a childhood friend.

WBTB+MILD, short

Bunker, Dream Control without Lucidity
0452: B. Ok, this dream was really vivid. I could have sworn it was lucid, but on waking up and recalling I realized I never actually had the critical lucid moment. I'm on a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II map. I think it's called Quarry. But I'm not fighting. I look for a bunker under the hills and find one. It has a low ceiling, a locking door, and a narrow pillbox window looking out at the center of the map. I'm glad that the door has a lock for some reason. I look at the low ceiling. This is the point where I appreciate how vivid the dream is and I feel that pre-lucid tingle but never go fully lucid. The ceiling is bare rock with a tangle of metal braces, electrical wires, and light bulbs. There are also some spider webs and I carefully look for spiders but find none. The whole room is only about 10 feet by 10 feet. I think there is a bed and a few military-looking green crates stacked around.

Now Hugh and a girl are in the room with me. The girl is tall and skinny with a brown hair in a pony tail. Kinda tomboyish. She vaguely reminds me of the ex-girlfriend of an old friend from college. She's casually dressed in jeans and a tank top with some cleavage, which is distracting me. I show them the view through the window. It's bright day outside. You can see the part of the map where there's a big stack of cube-shaped cut stones. But in the dream, they are cardboard boxes instead of stones. I notice this is weird but not enough to become lucid. Then I try to impress both of them, mostly the girl, with some dream powers. I try to levitate an empty water bottle but fail. The girl is bored and wants to go somewhere else. I try to teleport us out but fail again. So we walk out the door, through a hallway and out into the open.

Hugh and the girl venture off. I'm looking around and see Justin, a childhood friend, walk up to me. His hair is buzzed really short, almost bald. He's wearing a light blue UCLA T-shirt. He says something about the UCLA football team. Then he asks if I'm bored and what to do something. He suggests we go watch a movie called "Cobalt Jungle." I say "Hell, yeah!" Here's where I start showing some dream control.

Justin jumps on a motorized dirt bike and I fly behind him. I'm parallel to the ground, just a 2-3 feet off the ground. We're traveling on a very rough dirt road with a steep hill bank on either side. The sky is now overcast and the ground is muddy with patches of green. Justin and I are weaving around telephone polls that are scattered on the road. I want to go faster so I concentrate and accelerate. We started at about 30 mph, now it feels like 80 mph. Justin hits a bump in the road and falls off his bike. But before he hits the ground, I reach with my left arm and use telekinesis to put him back on the bike and to keep the bike from crashing. Wake up and try to DEILD but no luck.

WBTB+MILD, long, read DV

The Blue Sweater
0638 B. Another very vivid dream. This time I become lucid for a while. I recall a fragment from the earliest part of the dream. I'm laying in bed and feel something warm at my feet. I lift the sheets and see my old cat Sam balled up. He wakes up and moves up the bed closer to me and lays down again next to my body for warmth. I think, aww, so cute.

False awakening. I roll over to write in my journal. It's early morning light outside. The window is at the head of the bed, which is the correct direction. Next to my journal, I see two pairs of glasses. One looks like mine, though this isn't where I usually place them when I sleep. The other pair looks similar in style but smaller. I think, hmm, who's are these? I get up and look around nervously. Is there someone else in my room? No. The room is fairly convincing as my real bedroom and very vivid. I examine the glasses more closely. They look like reading glasses that you would wear at the edge of your nose. They say "Granny" on the legs like a brand name.

As I'm looking at the glasses, I notice I'm wearing a very thick and woolly royal blue sweater. I think, Umm what? I don't own anything like this. I nose-plug check and I can breath. But I'm not convinced. The scene seems too vivid to be a dream. I do the nose-plug again and can breath again. Hmm. Ok, I guess I'm dreaming. But I'm still surprised. I do a finger-through-the-hand check to be sure. My finger doesn't go through but I look down and see my finger smushed like clay against the palm of my hand. Ok, I'm finally convinced.

What to do? I think of my plan. My plan that I set for tonight was: look at my hands, feel my body, notice my clothes, then take off my clothes and do something embarrassing while naked. I get up the taking off my clothes. I start pulling the sleeves of the blue sweater when I decide that I could be doing something interesting while disrobing.

I look at the window and realize it's wrong. It's a long and rectangular. It should be two tall narrow windows. Outside, I see a front lawn and other houses like a suburban neighborhood. That's also wrong; I live in the city with a parking structure across the street. This improves my lucidity but distracts me. Outside on the lawn, I see a giant TV screen. It's a billboard mounted just a few feet off the ground. There are a few adults throwing a football on the street. I intuitively know they are a news crew from the local TV station. I forget about my clothes and plan. I climb on the bed and try to phase through the window. I get halfway and feel stuck. Oh no!

At this point, my recall is broken and I lose lucidity. I might have woken up and DEILD back. Either way, the dream continues. One of the news crew is now in my room. He's an Asian man with a light blue dress shirt and slacks. He reminds me of a real TV reporter from one of the TV stations in Los Angeles. He apologizes for the billboard and says it won't be there more than three days. He goes on about how important advertising is for his station and who important the suburbs are. As we're talking, he starts standing, then sitting, then laying on the floor near my desk. Then he goes on about how television and entertainment are so important to our culture. He compares it to religion in the time of Jesus. I try to summarize his argument "So, the Internet is the new religion?" He says "Yes, exactly!"

WBTB, trouble falling asleep

Soccer
1107: D. Playing on a soccer team. Maybe a college team. Strict grid system with only one part of slack allowed. I am a controversial new member of the team. I make a play that leads to a goal.

I went to bed earlier last night, but it took me awhile to sleep. But I'll go to bed at the same time so I can adjust. I woke up at 6am, and remembered fragments. I was telling a friend the importance of being able to make split-second decisions, which he didn't quite believe. I also have fragments of woods and a shopping centre. After I woke up (accidently) I attempted a WILD but it failed. I still managed to get kinda lucid anyway Still not too clear though, and I still feel not like myself.

Experimentation

Awake Non-Lucid Semi-Lucid Lucid

I'm in the car at the field near my house. My mum's here but I can't be assed taking the dogs out...

When I step out of the car, I become lucid. I laugh and decide to play around. I always wanted one of those brightly coloured, teal skies like in action movies. (Just watch Transformers or something, you'll get me ) It's cloudy, so I put up my hand and brush them from the air. I increase the intensity of the colour, brighten the sky and add warmth to the rays of light. I add a few faint stars for good measure. I gaze in awe at the beauty of it. I make a dropping motion and back comes the clouds. (I just ate the most amazing muffin in the world. Thank you Mrs.Shearer!) Rain pours onto me. I smile, pinch and nose and breathe, amazed that I can.

I fly to a friends house. Her dad serves up some chocolate bread. I eat quite a lot of it because it tastes really good. When I go outside, her neighbors are out, and it's dark. They're having a BBQ. They've left food out on hottrays, and bark at me to keep my "filthy hands off of it"(?). So guess what I do? It's only garlic bread haha... Somehow this causes me to lose lucidity.

[Dream skip - Next day] I'm walking home with Aaron. I keep trying to talk to him but he just brushes me off. A first year runs up to me with a bag. She says it's an early Christmas present. On the bag it says; "From Gary xx". Aww, that's sweet. Kinda wierd though, we have banter and all, but we're not close friends. Aaron offers to give me a ride home. He almost runs over our headteacher. I look inside the bag and find some black clothes.

I was by myself but had stepsisters/step mom. But I did have my own bedroom. They were just about to go out and do something when they asked me to do something. I just said "Yes stepmother". and they left. I than wandered into the bathroom. and the lights were off and someone told me a scary story and half-way through the scary story I told the guy "stop". That's when I woke up.

I had this huge family (I don't know excalty how huge maybe 8?) now 2-4 of us ended up in something that was half the modern world and the other half wasn't. Somehow we met up with some humans. We were trying to find a sword but the problem is a nasty ruler was in the castle that supposedly had the sword. And somehow the 4 of us got split up and I heard that one of the 2 brothers got caught. A little while letter the nasty ruler saw me, so I had to find another outfit to wear. After getting another outfit. There was there festival going on outdoors. So I kind of had to crawl around all the tents. And someone who looked like my friend, Leslie, spotted me doing this and distracted the ruler. while, I sneak into the castle. I got to the brother who got caught who was a little brother (and somehow was able to unlock the doors without a key--magic?). But just after asking him if he was alright. I heard footsteps in the distance. So I quickly hid behind a curtain. The nasty ruler made the brother ride a metal version of those coin-operated horse rides you see in malls (minus the head). and when he (the brother) was on it, he fall into a hole where the horse's head should be, and the ruler left the room. I got out from behind the curtain and got the brother out of the hole. I carried him for a bit. but dropped him when I tried to disappear. The next thing I knew I ended up in the dungeon and my brother and several others were wearing white clothes and singing something called "No more". This is when I woke up.

I woke after five hours of sleep and went back to bed using this Lucid Dreaming Binaural MP3 I found. It was pretty incredible what results I found on the first successfull attempt. I fell into a WILD in a way that I had never done before. Usually I just feel my dream body in a scene and open my eyes and it's there. This time, I seriously believed I was still awake. I was a little annoyed that I was and I got up and went to my window and looked out. What added to the feeling was that everything looked just as it did in real life. Usually my dreams have a distinct haze that lets me know I am dreaming. But then I notice that the lights were not working properly. They would change level of brightness and sometimes not even turn on. This reality check kind of destabilized my dream for a moment, but I didn't want to wake, and the sheer will power kept me in the dream for the time being. I walked out in my living room and found the door to the garage. Since I was sure this was a dream I wanted to open the door to another scene. I said that I expect a winter scene outside and opened the door. Instead of finding snow though, and since deep down I knew what was on the other side of the door, I got mixed results. I found on the other side my garage during the winter. It was quite cold and I could see my breath, but no snow. St. Augustine never snows. The garage was very organized unlike it is now, and things were stacked in front of the car entrance. Instead of jumping, I decided to fly outside. So I lifted off of the ground and floated outside and felt the air around me. It seems the flight must have further destabilized the dream for I woke up. Upon waking I found that it wasn't destabilization, it was the intention of the Lucid Dreaming aid I was listening to to wake you up at the end of the ninety minute track. I was astonished to find that it worked so well.

First Chain Dream: Part 1 (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

So before this even begins, I got into bed and only thought two things, "I will have a lucid dream tonight" and "Whatever I see will not be real." The second seemed kind of odd, but I guess it works for me. It took about 10 minutes or so because I kept focusing, but eventually I drifted away.

I woke up in some kind of bunk-bed / cubby-hole that looked like something straight out of a concentration camp. But I got out and saw that me and this guy named Nick were in a room with a door leading to a roof somewhere. It was still night out. We stepped outside and suddenly got the feeling that people were watching us. . . So I 'found' a Desert Eagle and started to shoot at other figures who had guns (I somehow had clips to reload too. Cool!). It was pretty easy. Then, I felt a deep pressure in my left arm and fell down (Pretty sure I got shot). But that's not all!

A few seconds after that, two of our friends, Mike and Brian, came up from what I assumed was a rooftop lower than us and apologized for shooting me. I got up and we all got into a car that had magically appeared to our left. Once we got in, we were on the road already. The road was empty except for us. As we took a left turn some guy didn't stop and grazed the left side of our car, which I was suddenly driving. Shortly I arrived at a Supermarket, during the daytime now, and got out of the car. However now I was with my friend Dan. I didn't mind.

A few seconds after walking into the supermarket, I noticed something, but I don't know what, but it was enough. Aww man, I just hit the Lucid jackpot. I wanted to try low gravity this time. I didn't want full-on flying, been there, done that. As much as I willed, nothing happened. So, I had to get creative. I always read that if you can't will something, make it happen by creating a device or some other medium. I said to Dan, "Dan! You're dreaming right now!" He looked real surprised, but happy. "You should try low gravity!" And wouldn't you know, a few seconds later we were Moon-Bouncing in the supermarket.

I can't remember what happened, something about jumping over an old lady's shopping cart, but I woke up real quick. I thought, wait! Don't end now! So I didn't move, closed my eyes, and in a few seconds...

non-dream - non-lucid - lucid

05-10-10 I am in Bournemouth and I think in the beginning I am conducting some sort of important official business, I am in a position of power. There is a change in the dream where I meet up with Elliot and Mark Phelps for a chat about old days and Elliot is persistent in his persuasion of getting me to test out my golf swing so he can see it for old times sake. In the beginning I am focusing on my grip and my hand is turned so far around (anatomically impossible) and I tell him that it is the way I grip the club. He gives me some sort of metal object, which could be a torn off car antenna, as he doesn't believe me and sure enough my grip is different when trying it out on the antenna. I start focusing on my thumbs and interlocking my fingers, and testing out the grip without the interlocking. I am talking about some sort of baseball style grip, as someone is telling me that the new official tee off swing requires a run up, Happy Gilmore style. I test my stance and some sort of short fellow corrects my shoulders and feet to get me into something that reminds me more of a Quigong stance. I try my swing a couple of times and then he asks if any of us ever wondered about going pro. I reply I toyed with the idea but gave up as I such too much and 26 is too old to take up any professional line of sports. Elliot questions me about this. I seem to remember something about the road lay out, but it is practically non-recallable, will edit if it comes to me.

FA. I am in my bed in sunny surroundings and my mother asks me if I dreamt about being someone important. I ask her why and she explains that I was talking in my sleep. All she and I say are blurry words but I remember that it was indeed from my official business in the first part of the dream. I say I was a minister (the governmental position, not a religious one). Then Ulrike appears appears and we talk about me still dreaming about people from EIMS and I explain that I, probably more than others got highly emotionally attached to the place. She tells me she is sorry that I still have to dream about that place and at this point I start becoming suspicious, primarily because she is also a person from EIMS. I notice a false memory appearing about her leaving a year or so back and she makes it clear that she does not dream about it ever. I close my eyes to go to sleep again, but she keeps harassing me with some sort of important piece of work she is conducting with Dennis from China. I say sure you are. I close my eyes again and I seem unable to speak so I try telepathically to reach out for Mitzu (A woman that appeared in one of my lucids, while I was on holiday, who came when I requested to meet my dream guide, still have the dream in note form, need to get around getting all those posted. Thinking about it, I probably should have tried texting her for the TOTM). When I open my eyes and walk out of bed I pat Ulrike on the back and check my fingers that at first are blurry, and when I check again, has an additional finger in the middle of the hand. I notice the woman is dressed as Mitzu was the first time I saw her, but I have no presence of mind to actually check who it is, my first point on the agenda is to stabilise the dream. In the dream I sort of just expect it to be Ulrike, so if it was Mitzu let me express my awaken apologies. I start paying attention to my senses and rub my hands, I draw in a huge breath from my nose in order to notice any smells. I notice I am now in a much tidier state of my room and the sunny surroundings and my mum have disappeared. instead of the dining table next to my bed there is a smaller coffee table and my jersey is hanging on the wall where the telly normally is. This is all I experience from the dream as everything goes black and I find myself firmly rooted behind my eyelids in the physical world.

Note to self: I am finding myself getting lucid more often, but also that they end quickly and abruptly. There may be an idea in checking up on DEILD methods, as I find myself able to lie perfectly still, until I can truly get the initial stabilisation under my belt.

Also. Buy an alarm clock so I can start working on the WILD project again!

…

I am in a house by the river in a tropical setting. There are many Stygian dolls, and for those not familiar with the Diablo 2 environment, these are the animated skeletons of small people about 1-2 feet tall that have a nasty sting and explode when they die, which they do easily. Anyways killing is not on the agenda, the dolls' habitat is threatened due to advances of humans into the forest and in the end the dolls get washed down the river and I end up making peace with them and help them establish a settlement by the shore. Longer up the beach more tourist resorts and residence housing is established and these people are afraid of the dolls (think because they are skeletons and somewhat unnatural), but they dare not openly attack them while I am mediating the hostile relationship. At one point I go the dolls on a rainy day and they end up stabbing me in sheer excitement, they are not trying to hurt me, they just can't help themselves (aren't they cute ^^). I also have lengthy conversations with the humans about them detesting me communicating as I do with the dolls. Somewhere in the back of my mind I have a feeling that the situation is quite familiar (I am always championing the position of tolerance and attempting to understand different religions and cultures, in my somewhat racist and fear-of-the-unknown oriented family. However I am not considering immigrants in Denmark on the level of Stygian dolls ^^)

I'm walking down a path in the forest, there are two dream characters with me.

I am walking up ahead and something clicks with me. I'm dreaming. I run to the two dream characters and tell them, "Hey guys we're in a dream right now!"
"Really?" one of them asks.
"Really! I'm so serious, here, I'll show you."

I grab both of their hands and push my feet off the air hard. Before I know it we're soaring above the world. The strange thing was that, at first the entire world consisted of a big box we seemed to be hovering over. There were lots of things floating in the air, and I kept wanting to go higher. There was half of a train suspended in mid-air. I was having a conversation with one of the girls about how this is our dream imagination playground, how the world below is our mind. I looked down at the box and got up really high and extended my hands pushing the box bigger, bigger, and bigger, until it wasn't a box any more, it was an entire world.
