lucid

I had a dream that me, my dog, my girlfriend, my brother and my wife all wanted to go to a small college town for an a sandwich. Me and my dog got into a red convertible and started driving to the town. Shortly in to the drive my girlfriend appeared in the car. Within a matter of seconds we were at the house of some of my friends who were recently married. Only my brother and his wife were the ones who lived in the house. This is when I realized that I was dreaming, but I could not control anything. I simply watched the dream from a third person point of view. The dream then consisted of getting what looked like a turkey sandwich but turned in to an ice cream sunday. Me and my dog then ran out on the bill and got in to a car chase. The next thing I know I am in a pin stripe suit and in a shoot out. I never saw who I was shooting at, or who was shooting at me. Then I woke up

I am walking around a huge building that is supposed to be a campus of some sort. Very spacious, made of light gray concrete and open to the sky. I spot a friend I haven't seen in a while. When she sees me her face lights up and she jumps for joy. I walk over to her and say hi. She gives me this rediculous smile, her face is flushed and she seems unable to speak, overwhelmed with excitement. She makes this squeeking noise, I ask "huh?". She replies by jumping and making another squeek noise. I am amazed by how strangely she is acting, and it is at this moment that I realize I must be dreaming.

Right before going to sleep I had read the thread about not doing anything, so I tried it just to see what would happen. While ignoring everything that was going on around me, the scenery began to fade. I stood in a dense gray murkiness. This was pretty boring, and I began to lose some of my lucid focus. Eventually a thought came to me from nowhere, "lay down". I felt the familiar paralysis of SP wash over me, and the greyness was replaced with my room. I felt like I was laying in bed, though my point of view was slightly above where I percieved my body to be. I rose out of my body because I felt trapped, and began to float towards the window. Once outside I pushed off the windowsill and flew over the wall separating my backyard from the one behind it. The backyard behind mine was very small and housed a large black dog. I realised that "flying" was dependent on force, I had to push off of something in order to gain enough force to fly through the air. The dog jumped up and was only a few inches short of catching me, as I was decelerating, having only realised how the gravity worked after passing the first wall without using it. After passing this yard, there is yet another backyard. Eventually the place turns out to be a maze. The rest of the dream is a blur of mazes made of high gray walls, glimpses of strangely dressed people and something about a war that was somehow linked to a large field of dry grass within one of the larger parts of the maze. I lost lucidity somewhere during all of this.

Asleep by about 2am...

Caught an INRALD, somehow - Lucid - 1/5
I remember tossing and turning in bed, and randomly wondered about whether I was in an INRALD. Not too sure what set me off on that. I just remember thinking, "I could be dreaming this, right now."

I vaguely recall getting out of bed. I can't remember if this was a dream, or RL. Some unconsciousness happened.

Flying - Lucid - 1/5
I remember flying in another short, chaotic dream, which made me lucid. Walms was involved again, somehow. Memory is really blurry.

WBTB at 5:45am. Unintentional. Cold meds wore off. Back to bed by 6:20 (couch actually. Jack's movement was making me nauseous).

Nothing to recall! My night feels like it was backwards. I recalled dreams in the first 3 hours of sleep, and nothing in the last 4 hours... Not even an INRALD to catch. I was void zoning for 4 hours.

Feels like I haven't slept a wink

Snowy Mountains (WILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Coming back to this after being awake for a while, this was a wake induced lucid dream. I remember the sheer force.. like a sort of "WHOOSH" as the dream almost.. tore open in front of me. It came together in the most amazing way. It was beautiful, and that's why this dream was memorable. That feeling was amazing. I was on the mountains in a bunch of snow on a snowboard, and i was trying to control the size of my mountains, there was someone else there, a man, but I cant quite remember what he looked like, I started loosing control and fading into a non lucid dream, and then I was next to a lake, I wanted to make it so I could use my snowboard on the lake, but I had lost control of my dream, and I drifted into a non lucid dream. I then talked to this guy about his snowboarding accident and how his friend got hurt or something like that, earlier in my dream while going around the mountains I had seen that spot. I then skipped into way later, where I was with the reinachers, and there was something about flavored sticks, and I can't really remember what happened from there.

Before writing out the whole dream, I have to mention becoming lucid, but immediately and with no reason it faded away and a recurring dream happened again. I remembered to look at my hands in my house, saw them with too many fingers and new what was going on (i also noticed the wrong time and it was 11 something and the digital clock was working). I had that huge feeling of excitement but I maintained a calm mind, I don't know how it immediately disappeared.... Anyways this recurring dream was the same half way through but I remember new parts to it including the beginning.

This one is from another WBTB but I was not lucid. I've had this dream 3 times now and I even remembered during the dream what the guy was going to do next although it was a bit different this time. The feeling was like when you've seen a movie before and you kind of remember whats going to happen...

Anyways this started out at this massive industrial complex with steel, concrete and huge windows. For some reason at the end of the dream I was working for Julian from Trailer Park Boys to steel this thing for him (which is f-in awesome and I responded like Ricky at one point). This object we were stealing is from some extremely rich and powerful man, yet his employees are very, very, dumb. So it started out with me and some other guy I think it was a friend of mine yet I can't remember. We broke into this complex on the east side I can't remember how but it was through this huge room on the corner.

My recall is fuzzy at this point as I don't remember getting to the object, just grabbing it and all hell breaking loose. This part of the dream is the part I can always remember: This time we were running away from 2 people one had a bow and arrow and just sucked ass at using it.... The other just ran. The two pursuers were sent by the rich man who owned this object. This chase occurred in the basement room of the complex which had long walkways over water with guard rails lining the sides. We were 100 meters ahead and I was basically watching these arrows come towards me and then just stepping out of the way (I remember the guy saying f*ck! and getting all pissed off cause he sucked..). Then, I remember this part vividly and it was a hilarious beat down. So the 2 people finally caught up but this was because they were now in front of the exit we needed to take, but there was a gap between the walkway and the exit hallway and we needed to jump it.

The encounter started out as such: the two losers were yelling at me and my forgotten friend from across the gap. There was a floating staircase (it was aluminum and it still floated somehow) and I jumped for it just as one of the pursuers tried and landed in the water. I remember kicking the guys face or something and then jumping onto the floor on the other side.

After that, all 4 of us were on the one side leading to the exit and this is were the fight broke out. The two pursuers were kind of as dumb as Cory and Trevor from TPB as well. Somehow I was overpowering the shit out of the 2, just kicking pure ass. My buddy was punching the somewhat skilled guy who no longer had the bow, and I was fighting the loser of the two. I remember punching him a few times and then I just lifted the guy up by his shirt and held him for a second then lobbed him against the wall. After we dealt with the two we started running out of the hallway and towards the exit.We were then outside and jumped down onto three different roofs to get to ground level (Yeah from the basement and this doesn't make any sense). I still had the object at the time which was some container with some green goo in it, and we ran past the huge room we entered through in the beginning.

As we ran past, Julian ( mixed drink in hand) yelled out from inside the room with a massive window "Hey boys, what are you doing? I told you not to get it!" I heard him through the window and yelled back like Ricky "F*ck off Julian, I got it now!" At this point the dream skipped after we got away, and I remember seeing a high tech auditorium-like place in the complex as if from a camera. The rich man was yelling at all of the employees and making them repeat certain phrases to remember them and to not fail the next time. Then, it all faded and I can't recall anything else.

Ok I didn't have a computer this morning so I had to quick type my dream Via my Phone. I finally have it retyped in a coherent way

I remember this dream being quite long. It was almost like a cross between the games My Horse and Me, and Resident Evil :/

The dream starts off about mid morning. It's sunny, and the sky is cloudless. I'm riding a horse through what seems like an endless field. I decided i want to go home and there it is. a Large house. The dream skips about, and all i know is that I'm part of a very large family, and we own hundreds of acres or land. The next this i know our family in in this feud with a similar family a few miles over.I run out to check my horse for some reason, and he's coughing up this blue puss like substance. It's coming out of his nose and mouth, and I'm terrified. I begin to argue with the family about letting my go to the neighbors estate to get help for my horse. They refuse, and I go it any way. When i get to the other families house they are nice, and takes me in to help my horse. Apparently when my family finds out they get pissed, because just as i got my horse settled into the quarantine stalls these post-apocalyptic soldier come in after me. The neighbors stable somehow turns in to a 15 story ware house, and the stable hand pulls me out the window and we climb up to the next floor. After this point there was lots of running and evading the soldiers. There were also these creatures like the above ground tremor things and a veloceraptor crossed. They were a fleshy tone and very wrinkly. They would sometimes be behind the doors we chose to run through, and we'd have to change out plans.

I woke up while being chases by some soldier AND one of the pink raptor things :/

okay this is probably one of the best dreams I've had yet. so first i was by the ocean, on some old worn out dock, and then on a highway directly on the coast. then i found a slide, like a playground slide, leading into the ground, like down into nowhere. there was a rabbits foot hanging at the entrance of the slide. i got in a grabbed on to the foot and said ..."lets see how for the rabbit hole goes" and then it broke, i fell in, i came out i was underground or something and i fell through like a hole or something and then i was flying like on a roller coaster really fast and then i was in a giant room underground with giant plants growing everywhere and no floor and then there was a platform floating in the middle with a few houses. and i went inside and i was at the beach.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Like most of my early lucid dreams, there was a nonlucid part that I'm going to skip over and ignore. Although, If I remember correctly, this is where the famous "herryour sandwich" dream happened.

Anyways, I got lucid, but for some reason, I wasn't moving. I don't know if it was because I couldn't move, or was in "spectator" mode. Or because I was just too blown away by what I was seeing to actually be engaged in it. Also, if you've ever wondered why in my dreams, I flag my dream characters; Lia and Jonathan as good and evil archetypes. This is why.
I recognized the dream location immediately. It was an imaginary city that I dreampt up as a child. The city was called Vejasu. (Pronounced VE-HAH-SUE) The idea was that the city was built in a massive crater, and therefore surrounded by mountains. This created a massive circular valley, roughly 20 miles on edge. Most of the valley was filled with water, but there was a small island only about two miles across where the actual city was.
But this was where the similarities to my imaginary city ended. The island was mostly just an open field. There were a few scattered ruins implying the city had long since been abandoned/destroyed. Final note, the sky was clear and it was sunny.
Save for the building we were on. It looked like some armored warehouse or fortress made from stone and metal, with gravel on the roof.
But I wasn't at all transfixed by the setting. It was what was going on in front of me. Lia and Jonathan were fighting. Jonathan was operating some kind of robotic suit that could best be described as the body of a very muscular man made of a copper-colored metal. The suit lacked a head, but rather a cockpit where I could see a sort of bust-shot of Jonathan. The rest of him, obviously inside, controlling whatever device.
Lia didn't have anything. (Why do the bad guys always get the cool stuff?!) But she was holding her own by doing this duck and weave thing. (I never took her as atheltic/agile at all until this day.) From what I could gather, she was trying to climb up the mech and get him out of there.
Jonathan eventually landed a punch and sent her off the roof of said building. I was finally able to move and went after her, forgetting about my dream "nemesis". I jumped off the roof and came next to her, where she didn't look injured or even dazed. But she was laying on the ground and didn't seem capable of moving.
We just looked at each other for a few seconds, until I looked over to see Jonathan. He wasn't in the mech suit anymore, and he was pointing a gun at me. Bang! I woke up.

It was nearing the end of the day, and I was going to one of my last classes. I was exhausted from school and couldn't wait to go home. I stepped into the classroom and instantly my mood was uplifted when I saw who was sitting at my table. A wave of happiness rushed over me. The German Exchange student had returned from Germany.

"Hi!" He said. His face, his voice, everything was so vivid. It was clearer than reality, and now that I was seeing my old friend again it was better.

"I've missed you so much!" I shouted, and leaped into his arms, giving him the biggest hug ever. I no longer felt worried about school, I just felt relief from seeing him again.

"I have so much to tell you about! Shickendydickendy!" He said delightfully in his accent. I was ready to listen, I couldn't wait to hear everything he was about to tell me.

"What's a shickendydickendy?" I giggled, thinking that maybe he had butchered up an English word.

"Oh I'll tell you about that later " He replied. Oh!

"This can't be happening! I've missed you so much, it's incredible to be seeing you here again!" I said. At that moment, just to be sure, I did a reality check. 8 fingers. Fuck no. I realized that this wasn't real - he wasn't real - none of this was. I wasn't seeing him or talking to him again. It was just an illusion created by my subconscious. I burst out in tears, devastated to go through this again. Losing a friend all over again, thanks subconscious, thanks a lot. I spent the rest of the dream crying.

Non-Dream Non-Lucid Lucid False Awakening

I find myself in my ASB (student body) classroom. with the old student body class and counselors. I thought I didn't run for student body, this year, but I simply dismissed it as insignificant (whoops). As usual, at the beginning of the week, we were assigned reports to carry out to our classroom. My friend Z and I exited the room and found ourselves in an unfamiliar school with white and green walls. This same school was the school I went to to help my neighbor set up her classroom. I realized my friend Z wasn't in ASB as we gave the report, but again I dismissed it as not a big deal (another whoops). We finished and left the classroom, and I found myself as K of the Penguins of Madagascar (WTF?). We were trying to break open a brick wall off a school to get inside, as the school was in lock-down(?) or something. After several attempts of trying to total the wall, R simply ran the Hummer we were in through the wall, and I found myself closing my eyes, and opening them to appear my bedroom. This was a false awakening, I thought, because something was just off, and I became lucid. A long haired man walked into my room, and he appeared hideously warped. He had no visible face, his arms were dropped, his clothes were tattered, and his legs were limp. As I said, "R. P., is that you?", (I have no idea whose name I called out, I just remember the name) and he walked faster than the speed of light, and slurped near my left ear. My last thought was 'WTF!' as I woke up.

Notes:
Vividness: 7/10 (Pretty vivid.)
Lucidity Peak: 4/10 (Wasn't lucid for long, and had no control)

High School Memoirs (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Setting:
- Saint Louis School of Mandaue

Time Occured:
- Around 3:00 - 3: 45pm

Dream Characters:
- Davi
- Jacob
- 3 Unknown Individuals
- Teachers
- My mother

As usual, I was preparing for a nap during the afternoon. I went to bed, and listened to a relaxing beat before dozing off.

Bam! I already knew I was dreaming based on what I was wearing, a white maritime uniform from head to foot (In fact, I'm taking up an engineering course). As I was about to buy something in a store, somebody tapped on my shoulder. I looked back and saw Jacob, Davi and somebody else I couldn't recognize the face, wearing the same as I. Instead of greeting them, I became furious since they were laughing at me. I pushed Jacob and told him to back off. A security officer of some sort came rushing and stopped us. Without getting what I bought, I left the scene. I arrived at a place which I haven't seen before. I sat down at the side, and saw my mom beside me. Behind me was a big wall, and on the other side of it is a school (I just felt it was a school). Few minutes later, somebody passed by me, and he was familiar. He was wearing a uniform which resembled what I used to wear during high school. Instantly, I knew what school behind the wall was, my Alma Mater.

Later, another student approached, this time he stopped by the gate. He pushed something like a doorbell. The gate opened and he went inside. I was curious and followed him. Indeed, it was my school. There lots of students flocking, seems like there's an event.

After a blink of an eye, I was with some people which resembled my friends, but their faces were blurred. I asked them what's going on and they said, "Diva's coming here!" (Diva is yet another female celebrity here in our country.)

Soon, people rushed and crowded in different directions, including my friends. I was left alone and was thinking of what should I do. After a while, someone was walking behind me, and it was Diva! She was wearing an elegant red gown, and pair of glass slippers. She also had a small crown (I find it weird why she had a crown when in fact, she's an actress, not a beauty queen). I was astonished and like what a fan would do, I followed her. I was the only one closest enough to get her picture. Damn, she's a beauty.

Later, the crowd had dispersed and I was left alone again. I realized that I left my mother alone outside of school. I rushed outside and found noone. While I was running, there was a shift of time, from night to day in an instant, and it was noon.

I reached a small alley, and continued to run. I saw lots of people, and they were my teachers having their lunch in a cafeteria. I searched for my mom, and finally saw her. As I was about to sit beside her, I woke up.

I took time in my dream to notice the realness of it, I studies the pattern on my shirt, the colors were much more vivid than in waking life. Still my lucidity left a lot to be desired, it is not sharp, I am half aware only and slip back and forth between lucidity and dream participation. I became lucid because I realised the house we were standing in front of could not be out house, it had a shifting quality to it, the colors would patchwork and change. It looked like a townhouse but also like the house from the movie "UP." I became exited to show my husband that we were dreaming. I said "let me show you how to fly! Do you want me to teach you?" He wasn't very interested. I grabbed his hand and left the ground, he didn't so I picked him up the way I would be able to in a pool and then we left the ground. He said "You are doing it for me" so I let go and he grounded agian. I lost interest in this and decide to do my test. I pushed my finger through the palm of my hand and then decided to try and step through a mirror. When I did I was suprised to find myself half emmersed in liquid and I pulled back out, then I realised that I could breath in water and went through completely. It was dark and I left soon after.

1700: Afternoon WILD nap attempt. I slept but no dream recall. It had an effect on my sleep during the night. Zeo shows that my deep sleep periods happened late in the night instead of early.

0025: Sleep

0700: B. I'm playing a computer game with Hugh. It's a real time strategy game where the map folds around like a paper origami cube.

Then some old high school people join and we start playing soccer, but we're calling "football". They aren't friends. They are the group that hated me. We are playing inside an old abandoned two-story house. The people what to punish me for some reason so they put me on the team with all be bad players. We are defended a goal in the upstairs of the house, so I tell my team to defend the stairs. The other team is trying to get the ball up the stairs. I steal the ball from a girl and body check her. She falls down the stairs. She is hurt and bleeding from the mouth, but not too bad. I'm not apologetic but everyone else is upset and confronts me. I say that a real soccer player could have handled a hit like that, so it's her fault.

We stop playing and sit on some old couches in the abandoned house. I'm sitting between two girls. The girl I hurt is on my right. She is still upset but not seriously hurt. People are talking about how mean I am. We talk:

Girl: "My problem is you and your problem is me."
Me: "I got 99 problems but a bitch ain't one."
Girl: "OMG, I can't believe you just said that."
Me: "It's a Jay-Z song."
Girl: "Yeah, I know that."
Me: "My problem is me. I am my own problem."


0810: C. I start with a false awakening. I am immediately skeptical. I'm in my own room. I look around and it's fairly convincing. The light outside is late afternoon. That's pretty strange. Also, the window blinds are horizontal when they should be vertical. Nose-plug-check, confirmed. Now I notice there is a girl in my bed, to the right. She is just waking up too. We are both under the covers but not touching. I see she has on a blue polo shirt. She is young, maybe 16. She has long straight brown hair with bangs. I ask "Who are you?" She starts talking but I'm not really listening. She's saying something about the neighbors. I'm just staring at her trying to notice details. She has brown eyes and freckles. I'm inching toward her, but not sure what my plan is. The dream starts to fade. I realize that I should have stabilized earlier and I just feel dumb. Dream ends.

Asleep In Class (non-lucid)

I am back in high school, a poetry class. I lie my head down as I listen to students read their writing. I see flashes of my hand with multiple fingers and I remember that I can try and WILD. The feeling changes, and I am lying on my back now.

"Requiem, no sleeping in class" the teacher said.

"I am not sleeping. I am listening." I say. Then I focus on the wild. I think I feel some vibrations.

My friend explains the the class that I am trying to WILD and tells them what it is. They are shocked.

"We are going outside then." the teacher said and my friend shakes me back into the dream.

The dream goes on for awhile, we walk though the halls, and down the steps, outside, and there are too many people out there and it ends.

Looking for Prof. X (Part 1?) (wild)

I know I was close to a wild, I reset my alarm and give it a try. Its been awhile. About 2 minutes or under I get waves of vibrations. I immediately begin to move my dream arms. I am thinking and visualizing the Prof.'s mansion. I am floating outside of my body without vision...I spin multiple times but nothing happens...I keep moving around and my vision, my room forms around me. (I should have used my tv/pc monitor to teleport). I climb onto my roof.

I try to think I am on the mansion roof but look over the edge and me my yard. I lose vision. I spin agin and am in my room. I walk downstairs and out the back door.

I fly high up into the air. Flying is easy but I concentrate on growing wings but nothing happens.

I hear some music. I try to fly to the mansion but, I don't know, all I see is trees and the further I get from the house the music gets louder.

I go back to my yard and see a small electronic device playing the music. It sort of looks like a weird mp3 player with a screen and mouse scroll wheel, it has 2 metal prongs and buttons. I pick it up and go into the alley.

I try to use my mutant powers but nothing happens. My hand just sort of cramps up. I take the device, stick the prongs into my arm and press a button. It leaves to pen ink marks, nothing else.

I continue down the road and see two fire fighters and fire trucks. They are frantically transferring equipment. I think of saving people but there is no burning building.

"Where can I find Prof. X? I ask?

"He is hiding." The women said.

I am sick and tried of chasing dream guides. I regretfully push her down in anger. "Tell me where he is!" I yell.

The man firefighter pulls a gun on me. I grab his hand and turn the gun on him and pull the trigger, blood gushes from his nose and mouth and he falls.

I see a fruit truck drive by and I wake up.

Baseball Shooter (non-lucid)

I am at a baseball game and we hear a gun shot. We see a moose on the ground and another trying to help it up. My teammates and I all go into the woods, we find ourselves in a sort of roller coaster cart and track chasing the hunter. There is a small gun fight when we have our shots, we hit him but he keeps fighting.

He gets real close to our car and I fire several rounds into his chest.

A man explains something about how it is wrong to kill moose.
