(Note: I forgot to take my B6, Ginkgo, and fish oil with my dinner, so I took them at about 9:30PM, which caused me to have many issues falling asleep. I stayed up for a few more hours that I would usually stay up, reading a few articles on DV before my eyelids became heavy. I crawled into bed around 4:00AM)

I am standing in a a house trailer that belongs to my grandmother. I am quite familiar with the layout of the rooms and everything inside. I immediately became lucid, as I know my grandmother had passed away many years ago and her trailer is no longer a place I would visit. My mom was in the living room, and I was standing in front of the breakfast bar in the kitchen. I talk with my mom for a bit about why we are here. She explains that my grandmother was in the hospital and we were here for a visit. After talking a bit more, she walks back into the bedroom. I walk out into the living room and lay down on the couch to watch some TV, but the remote control will not work. I put the remote down and got up to push the buttons on the TV. The buttons do not work. I check the power cord to make sure it's plugged in, and everything looks like it's connected. After staring at the blank screen for a bit, trying to make it do something, I gave up. No TV! I lay back down on the couch and drift off to sleep. (Note: dream within dream.) I was having a short lucid dream, of which I cannot recall any details, when my mom came in the room yelling about something. I don't recall what she was yelling about. I woke up from the embedded dream, sort of irritated, and yelled back at my mom. I said, “You ruined a perfectly good lucid dream, please stop yelling and leave me alone for a little while.” While I was yelling, I raised my hands to make gestures and saw that my fingers didn't look quite right. After yelling, my mom went back into the bedroom, grumbling under her breath. I look at my hands again and count 7 fingers on the left hand and 8 on my right. My fingers were quite deformed. They were skinny and bent around, some of them crossing over each other. I began rubbing my hands together briskly while I stand up and walk toward the bathroom. The first thought on my mind was, “Find a mirror! I have a definite mission to complete."

I enter the bathroom and look into the vanity mirror, while rubbing my hands together to help keep things stable. I am trying to remain calm and collected while my face quickly melts down and my eyes fall down below my nose. I observe for a few seconds before looking away from the mirror to look at my hands. I stop rubbing my hands and look back into the mirror. My face is moving in and out as I breathe, gaining more depth in the third dimension with each breath. I slowly raise my right hand in front of my face and my fingers flew off and go into my right eye socket. There are a couple of very long skinny fingers still attached that are trying to go up my nose. I lower my hand slightly and all of my fingers come out of my eye socket and reattach to my hand. When I raise my hand slightly, my fingers go into my eye socket again. The repeatable transition point seems to be once the fingers raise past the nose in the mirror. I raise my hand higher and my whole hand goes into my right eye socket, all the way to the elbow. All of my fingers begin falling out of my nose, bounce off the sink and go into my left eye socket. I lower my hand slowly and all of my fingers reattach themselves.

I continue to stare in the mirror, watching my eyes stretch so wide my eyeballs almost fall out. Suddenly, I hear someone call my name from outside the bathroom. I look at the door, and notice that I had forgot to close it completely. I run to the door and push it shut the rest of the way. I walk back to the vanity mirror and decide to stretch it all the way down to the floor so I can walk through it. Feeling a bit rushed because I know someone is walking toward the bathroom, I grab the bottom of the mirror frame and pull it firmly towards the floor. The mirror offers some resistance, but complies with the stretch. While pulling the mirror down, the sink and cabinet disappear into the floor. As soon as I finish stretching the mirror, an older guy walks into and through the bathroom, into a connecting room. He is giving me the “death look” as he walks by. I stare back at him with a very defensive, angry glare while he passes. I look back at the mirror and touch the glass. My fingers pass through the glass without any resistance. It is very cold on the other side of the glass. I take a step back and walk into the mirror, only to bounce off of the glass. The surface would no longer give way and let me through.

I am getting frustrated with the mirror, and decide to abandon it and walk out of the bathroom. I walk outside, through the kitchen window and climb along a chain-link fence on top of a narrow concrete retaining wall. I came upon some bushes along the fence which are scratching my legs on the way by. The feeling of the scratches sent waves of chills through my body and caused me to nearly lose my grip on the fence. I looked at my hands for a brief moment and my fingers were thoroughly wrapped around the top of the fence. The wall leads me into a very small, one room house. The walls are blue-gray and so was the floor. There is a small window on each side of the room, but no doors. I can see a close neighbor cooking food on the stove from one side, and someone talking on the phone to the other side. The third window is as black as outer space. The room was entirely empty, except for a small wooden chair in the corner. There seems to be nothing of interest in here, so I exit through the same window which I came. I climb up and walk along the fence and return to the trailer I came from before. There is very little detail on the return journey along the fence.

I climb in the kitchen window and find a huge pile of rare-cooked steak laying all over the stove top. It smells freshly cooked, and has a pile of fresh blood puddling under the steaks. I pick up a piece of steak and try to eat it. It was as heavy as a rock, tough as leather, and tasted like rotting flesh. I throw the steak on the floor and try to eat another piece. It is also tough as leather, but has no taste. I throw the second piece of steak on the floor also. A puddle of blood begins to form around the steaks on the floor. I look at my hands, counting 8-9 fingers on each hand that are very long and skinny. There is a lot of blood dripping from my fingers. I rub my hands together and I can feel the slimy blood smearing around all over them. The smell of rotting flesh begins to fill the air. I rub my hands on my pants to clean them off.

The layout of the trailer has completely changed during my outside excursion. There is no longer a bathroom in the hallway next to the kitchen. The living room is now a large dining room with a formal setting. There are candles in the center of the table and all of the places are set. I cannot find an exterior door, anywhere. A mirror is visible through a doorway in a different bathroom. I walk into the bathroom and find a mirrored shower door. I back up and run as fast as I can into the mirror, passing through it with no resistance. This was the dream's exit.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Hello there. I don't recall ANY dreams last night. Maybe it's because I just slept five hours, or maybe it's because I lent my awesomeness to my girlfriend, who knows? Anyways I will give you guys one last old LD. This one's pretty memorable (even though I almost remember them all) and I had no trouble summoning stuff in it. I was supposed to summon a blonde gal, but ended up being a gentleman instead haha!

I'm walking around in a very dark maze and I can feel that I'm starting to lose the dream. I concentrate real hard on the dream and manages to stay in it, perhaps by touching one of the walls. The dream stabilizes and I walk out of the maze and enter a club. I lose my lucidity and I'm standing on top of an escalator with Monica, and the club is huge. To get down we go on a water slide and end up on the dancefloor, which is filled with water. The entire club seems to be inside of a big mall and I'm about to take a couple of drinks from a tray. Monica points out how disgusting the water is and I decide not to. We splash around in the water some then I take her into my arms, and we walk away to another part of the place. "My panties feel wrong" she tells me and I tug on them to correct them. A couple of girls walk by and starts giggling. I get lucid once again, and I put Monica down. "Hey, this is a dream" I say and she asks how I could be so sure. I try jumping and notice that the gravitation is a bit off. I double check my taking a look at a clock on the wall. "Do you wanna fly?" I ask and she nods. I take her into my arms and after a few jumps, we're flying through the mall. From one wall to another we fly and I try teleporting and it works. I fly down a corridor and ask her if she wants anything to drink. She just looks at me and smile. I know what she wants and I snap my fingers. A can of coke appears in my hand and I give it to her. A second later I realise she prefers it in a bottle, and with another snap of my fingers, I'm holding a glass bottle. We fly into the main hall again and land in the newly created V.I.P section. We've got a large table for ourselves and I ask her if she wants anything to eat. "Hmm, I want fish" she says and I turn my back on the table and try summoning different dishes of fish. When I turn around, there are plates with fish everywhere. We start eating some fried fish with potatoes and I start to wake up

Well that's it, man it sucks to not get enough sleep...

Keep on dreaming, HARE BRA!

Didn't post yesterday cause I had a school cross country meet, its fine b/c I also had to get up early for it which meant zero recall (I didn't have time to write in my DJ and forgot whatever I may have remembered).

This morning was an entirely different story.

First thing I remember is a fragment from what I know was a much larger dream... a golden penis.

That's it, lul. Moving on.

Next dream was a natural LD. I was a Jedi hunting a fleeing rogue Jedi through the wilderness. I ended up in the bay of a starship, whose inside seemed a bit like a French kitchenware store. I had fun using telekinesis to levitate and rotate plates and cups and stuff, much to the entertainment of my DCs. One DC was my nemesis... she was another Jedi, she carried a five-pronged lightwhip (like a ninetails but with 5 tails that all had knots on the end with metal around them from which a lightasaber blade could emerge) whereas I had only a one-pronged lightwhip (just a whip with the thing at the end). Suddenly, my telekinesis abilities all but disappeared. The most I could do was make a champagne glass wobble slightly. It happened to all of the other Jedis on board (DCs) too... like someone had flipped on a Force-jammer or something. I performed the hand RC to bolster my confidence in the fact that it was a dream, but even when it failed, all of my will still wouldn't't make stuff move more than a wobble. Then I went down some hatch doors with two male DCs and played out a real-life version of Star Wars Battlefront, moving through a labyrinth that was down there and killing droids and Jawas and stuff, when I cleared the stage the dream ended.

I'm very displeased with this dream and mad at myself because I neglected to do any of my current lucid goals (Task of the Month, Serial Dream RPG, find a certain DC, try to dreamshare with my friend, etc...), I didn't even bother to try and remember any of them

Anyways, next dream... I have all the details written but I'll summarize it since time is not on my side tonight.

My grandparents were with me and my family in the car, we drove up to this weird constant wave off the coast, then we all went to the shopping district of the city we were in, my grandpa thought I had a sore throat so we teleported to what was apparently his apartment and he gave me this nasty gooey yellow cough drop which I refused, then told me how he had some other cough drops that he had been saving for 10-15 years, then the dream ended.

And that's all for now... I'll go to bed as soon as I post this, and hopefully get some good material for tomorrow.

My dream started off with me in my old bedroom in the house where I grew up in on Main St. I was probally sitting on my bed, when I realized I was dreaming. My lucid state was extremely vivid.
The first thing I said was "Wow, I did it, I'm dreaming". So I got up and went for my bedroom door so I could leave the room and explore. I went to grab the door knob and my hand went right through it like I was a ghost. I began to get excited and felt myself waking up, so I immediately used my technique to stop the wake up process. I lifted my dream hands up and looked at them. They looked almost digitized. They didnt hold shape. changing before my eyes. However, it did what I wanted and it held me in the dreamstate.

The next thing I wanted to do was climb out the window and fly away. I began to open the window and climb out, but I asked myself "what if I am actually doing this in the real world. like walking in my sleep. I would fall out the window and probally die. So once again I began to get excited and I felt myself waking up. This time I couldn't hold the dream and I woke up.

Beyond The Stars

I started out with some friends of mine under the stars. We all had seperate beds in random positions. My friend Joel was going into hospital the next morning for an operation. Joel wasnt scared and we were all happy and joking around so it cant have been anything too serious. I was sitting on a bed with a friend of mine. He was leaning against me and when I moved he got kinda annoyed. Then he lay down to go to sleep. I was gutted as cos it was the bed that I had my blanket and pillow on! Nevermind, I walked over to an empty bed and lay down. It was a beautiful bright night. The stars looked amazing, there were constelations that looked really cool. I kept my eyes open on this really impressive patch of stars. I wanted to keep that in sight and become lucid. Almost instantly I felt myself pulled towards the stars. I held on to some sort of invisible circle around me which was guiding me through the stars I think. I flew so deep stopping slowly with planets and asteroid fields and then hurling deeper and deeper. I came into a planet and was put inside some kind of ancient building. It felt like it was a pyramid or something similar. I went into some sort of treasure room, there were all sorts of weapons and jewels. All the jewels and blades of the weapons were made of a glassy looking clear crystal. I started grabbing lots of stuff. Then a friend popped up behind me. I told him that we were sleeping under the stars at this very time and we were dreaming. He found it very interesting and then started telling me which artifacts I should grab. Then it was as if I was in more of a laboratory. Still ancient but there were benches on the edges of the room and small vials and bottles. I started loosing the dream a few times and was able to catch it a lot earlier than normal and stabilized by touching things and focusing on stuff around the room. I often started loosing it when I was talking to fraser. I eventualy woke up.


Confidential

I dont remember how I got lucid. It was my longest lucid ever easily. What felt like at least and hour or two. However I lost pretty much all of it
I was on some sort of mission. I was in a big building with lots of people. An older guy left a message for me. I went to find it but a young african guy had followed me. I snuck out away from him and up a few stairs to the designated area. I think I was set up I escaped the area and was in a big mall type area. There Were a bunch of guards chasing me, I could run pretty fast but they were pretty hardcore. They were the good guys who I knew so I didnt want to hurt them. I deflected their attacks and kept running. Then the head guard came for me. I tried telling her I was set up but she didnt beleive me. I ended up stealing her long spear which was a lot nicer than the other guards spears. I then ran off into the mall. Now they werent attacking me and werent guards anymore. They were more like free runners, all jumping around the place with low gravity. I was doing the same doing some really awsome jumps and spinning around in the air making it look easy. One of my last jumps I casually spun around in the air and landed my foot on a railing and bounded down to walk normally. While I was spinning I looked at a guy looking at me with a realy casual expression. He was amazed! I started to wake up and I saw some words pop up infront of me. They said something like "you should wake up now and write down your dream before you forget."

As I woke up I realised I was in another dream.


Astral Body?

I woke up and went to turn the light on so I could write out my massive dream before I forgot. I tried turning the light on and it didnt work so I did the nose pinch and realised I could breathe. I ran out to the window and started pulling myself through. It felt really wierd as I passed through the glass. As I was about half way through it got kind hard. I had to really try to pull myself through the window. I was being pulled back pretty hard. I started going down a hill infront of the house. I turned around to my house and saw a silvery blue thin cord going from my chest up to the window. It was still hard to walk so I started pulling slack from my chest so I could walk all good. It got pretty tight a few times and then when I pulled out some slack it snapped. Sweet, now I could move easily. Everything had a kinda oldschool 3D look to it. I saw a guy walking next to a creek. All of a sudden he fell in so I jumped in and saved him. It was quite deep and very fast for what looked like a small creek. He started talking about all these places he had been and stuff, it was really wierd and went into third person view for a minute than went back. Now a pretty girl called ingrid walked past me. The a few seconds later she walked past again with very hot clothes on. I grabbed her before she could walk away and started talking and then woke up.

Date: Sept.12
Time: between 7am-10am

Important Note:
Again, from the night before I tried that no preparation technique of being completely confident about LDing, and it actually worked twice in a row. I did a mini WBTB. I was only up for about 5 minutes before falling back to sleep. I remember the dream before I awoke, and my lucid dream after.

Description: A long semi-vivid dream. I remember mostly the ideas, and feelings of the dream, but not that actual order of events, and I have lost details throughout the day since I was late for work. My lucid dream was very short, or maybe I don't remember some of it. Again, tried different techniques to fly, but was only able to jump higher than usual.

Dream: So I am in my backyard, with a couple of family members. For some reason we walk out into the front yard and look down the street. I see a couple of little kids riding their bike, for some reason we all think we are about to get attacked by zombies. So we decide to be defend ourselves in the house. I remember my dad telling me to get my bible, so I rush into my old upstairs bedroom and grab a red bible that was sitting under some papers. I rush out of my room outside, and talk to my family on what to do. We are by my front door, and to the left where there was a bush, now there is a secret staircase leading down, kind of looked like a bomb shelter of some sort. I never go down. I start talking about, once somebody gets bit, then the infection will grow rapidly. That soon we will be defending ourselves against the neighborhood. And eventually we will be in the apocalypse, and might be the only human survivors. That we need to leave, the house and drive far away. Nobody listened to me. I kept repeating myself and getting frustrated, because no matter what I said, nobody would listen. It got dark out, and my nephew finally listened. So I took off in my car with him and headed for some strip mall, that had a couple of big stores in it. I remember trying to tell him we need to go to Chicago. But then I awoke to my alarm.

LD: So I fell back asleep and ended outside in the front of my house. It felt very cool, the wind was blowing, and it was late morning early afternoon. I remember for some reason I thought I was dreaming, so I did an RC of the nose plug, and it failed. I didn't get to excited, because I have learned to control that emotion when in an LD. So I said I was dreaming, and decided to try to fly. Before going to bed, I looked up how to fly in a dream. So I tried out different techniques. One was just look up at the sky and jumping. I did this, but all I did was jump kind of high. Then I tried imagining the ground moving away from me as I was in air, but that failed. I can't remember anything else, but I know there was more to it.

Amanda visits with a woman and a man. *I feel groggy and tired. I couldn't see well. I am half asleep like I couldn't wake up. We walk out back and had some conversation. We go back in and*
She uses my laptop. She and the strangers are sitting on the red couch that used to be there in the living room. *I go back to bed. I get restless and get up and walk down the hallway.**I try to walk to her and flop on the floor.*I ask what she did to me.*
I am suddenly back in bed and she is standing over me *She rudely hisses in my ear "I don't know if she did anything. But I'll try to make a cure. I can't promise"
I say "thank you"
I close my eyes.*
I feel sp and I think there is nothing else I can do so I give into the sensations of vibrations and tingling and create a fantasy. I bounce back and forth from dream levels. I create a scene outside. I own my eyes in level one. And I see the room but my vision is tinted red. I close my dream eyes
I am lucid. *
I am outside. I look around a field and look up and the starry sky. I begone to fly. I create a war scene. I swoop down and shoot the enemy on the ground with a machine gun. Some shoot back but they all miss. *The scene changes *i am flying over a city at night.*The scene changes to a snow covered and barren place. I continue to fly. I look for interesting structures to explore. I am kissing my flying ability. *I begin bouncing instead. I get bored. I turn around and see a huge moon with 3 smaller identical moons around it.i tell myself that I am dreaming. There is a foggy mist. I think I want to go to the moon. The mist becomes so thick I cannot see. I am afraid I will wake up. I turn back. The scene is now grassy with trees. I bounce around some more.*
I see a police woman.*She is heavy set and butch but also pretty.*
She follows me laughing.*
I am still lucid but think I am really outside running around like a mad man.*
I ask her if I am dreaming knowing I am. She laughs and says no.*
I bounce over a fence and sneak in my house. I lay on the couch and pretend to be sleeping.*Then she comes in and I pull the blanket over my head.*
She looks at pics on my phone and says
Ah ha I got you
I tell her about the dream
Then I am on street
A motorcycle cop woman pulls up in a strange chopper with glass cab
It is*The first woman in my dream. Amanda but older. *I think it is someone I fell in love with in a dream but now she is her and real.
She knows me too.*We are excited to see each other.*We make out
Dream shifts
Vague. I am thinking about my dream. Kids are around
I thunk it would be nice if my iPhone could take real pictures in dreams.*
Some other stuff
Wake up.*

Text color legend: · NON-DREAM · NOTES · DREAM · LUCID ·

Walking into a large house with 3 DCs, two males and one female. The lower level is one big room, full of assorted stuff. Most of the items appear to be household furniture. I slide a couple of pieces of patio furniture to the side and walk to a large wooden door. Opening the door reveals a Paternoster. The wall is partially transparent and all of the cars and drive cables are visible on one side only. A male DC boards a Paternoster car, only to go in a complete circle and return to the same spot. I became lucid at this time. I found my hands and started rubbing them together for a bit while looking at the floor. The floor is a gray-blue at first, but quickly forms the detail of medium hardwood planks. When I look back at the wall, the Paternoster is now working properly and the wall is solid white. Both sides of the Paternoster are visible and the cars are moving in the proper direction. The cars are well lit and have a sign on the back wall that I cannot read. I boarded a car and one female DC got in the car with me. The car was moving on a journey that seems to last quite a long time. The floor of the car vibrates and the sound of rushing wind surrounds me from all sides. The car reaches the end of its track and turns upside-down before letting us off at the second floor. Maintaining balance was not a problem as the gravity seems to invert with the car. The second floor is upside-down in relation to the first floor. (Note: I do not remember stepping out of the car.)

The second floor is a huge living room with no windows. The walls and ceiling are white. A dark wooden chair rail separates medium wide-grain wood paneling from the rest of the wall. Huge crystal chandeliers provide light in the room. The room is full of sofas, tables, lamps and other furniture. There are framed paintings(?) on the wall, but they are all a gray-blue blur. I walked into the middle of the room and my DC sits down on a couch. Two ferrets are stirring around in a cage in the corner. The ferrets look out of the cage, then walk to the lower level of their cage and exit. They run over to my feet for a moment. One of the ferrets runs over and checks out my DC on the couch. I picked up the remaining ferret and sat on the couch. The couch was soft black leather and was extremely plush and comfortable. Two small dogs ran from a dark corner and jumped on the couch with me. One of the dogs licked my face. I pushed the dogs off the couch onto the floor and said “NO!” I find a remote control laying on the couch, but none of the buttons work. My DC asked me, “What's wrong with the TV?” I said, “I don't know.” I pressed the button again and heard a very loud crackling sound. This was the dream's exit.

I was in a movie theater with my family, and we were watching three movies in a row. Sometimes I felt like I was in the audience watching the movie, other times I felt like I was in the movie, acting out what was happening.

The first movie was a kids show - I don't remember what it was about.

The second movie took place on a flying airship. There were pirates attacking, and we had to fend them off. I've also forgotten a lot about this one.

The final movie was a horror film. I felt like I was actually inside this movie. I had a handgun, and I needed to fend off some guy (who also had a gun) and was trying to attack me. I unloaded all of my bullets into him. I tried to find another clip, but there were none to be found.

I spent the next little while running away from the guy, until I eventually made my way into a bathroom and locked the door behind me. I knew this wouldn't be much help because eventually the guy could just shoot the lock off the door and then I'd be trapped.

For some reason, I decided to do a reality check at this point and immediately realized I was dreaming. However, I still had the problem that there was a guy with a gun on the other side of the door. Since I was lucid, I decided to open the door and see what happened. On the other side was one of my cousins, except he had turned into a zombie. I was startled, but I quickly pushed past him. At this point, I thought about how my eyes were actually closed in real life, yet I could see in the dream world.

This turned out to be a dumb idea, because it woke me up.

September 12, 2010

Asleep by 1:30am.

WBTB at 4:30am. I was drifting in and out of sleep throughout most of this. Trying an experiment. It failed, but produced a funny result... Every 10 minutes, my snooze alarm was ringing and pushing me back to awareness.

Pet rat
I was sitting in front of my rabbit's cage, but my rabbit wasn't in there. Instead, it was the adorable Arizona rat (type of breed) with beige hair. It was coming up to the side of the cage and bumping noses with me like my rabbit does. I would stick my fingers through the cage, and it would hold my fingers with its forepaws. It really wanted to be held, and suddenly, the cage was different. The cage bit was now wire with very open squares... big enough that I could pull the rat through them with a bit of maneuvering. I put my hands through the cage, and the rat let me hold him as I guided him through a square hole. Suddenly, my cell alarm (in the dream) started ringing. I had to put the rat down, and then I mashed my phone's buttons to snooze it again. But it wasn't working... odd...

It woke me up and I was still trying to mash the snooze button. I realized then that I had been snoozing for an entire hour, and it wasn't going to let me anymore. I had to turn it off and reset the alarm.

Tried to WILD for an hour, not a very good attempt. My dad was bumbling around upstairs and I didn't have my ear plugs in.

Back to bed and had troubles falling asleep. Back to the couch and passed out.

With a bad sort - Lucid - 2/5
I'm a character in this dream. A very rich girl, maybe no more than 18. We're set in around the 1910's judging by the clothes everyone is wearing. We're in a warehouse, and it's dimly lit and musty. A group of men working for me (about 5 maybe) have this woman sat at a table, and they are holding her there. I'm questioning her about a money transaction. A bit of false memory tells me she may have worked for me once... like a hand maid or something.

I recall looking over a paper transaction notice (which, ironically was printed in computer print) and saw that she wasn't lying, the transaction had gone through.

"It's too bad we still have to kill you," I tell the woman.

"Why?!" she freaks out. "I've done what you asked!" She is completely frightened and starts sobbing.

"I don't need you running to the cops," I say, coldly.

"Please, I won't! Please spare me! I don't want to die!" she pleads.

I feel a pull in my heart. I still need to kill her, but the poor thing, she's so frightened. "We won't make it painful!" I promised. "It'll just be like falling asleep, only you won't wake up..."

I trailed off and contemplated my last words. Just like falling asleep... I clued in I was dreaming, but only vaguely. I wondered how to change this scene. Maybe Danny could save the day?

My dream vision flashes over to Danny, who is lounging on a deck chaise, reading a magazine. "In a minute," he says, and waves me off.

My dream vision flashes back over to the woman, and one of my crooks (a crooked doctor) is holding the woman's eyes open with these tiny, thin hooks. "Wait, what are you doing?" I ask. The woman is shrieking, crying and pleading. "You're scaring her more, it wasn't supposed to be like this."

"We're going to take her sight first," the doctor explains. He hooks open her other eye and I wake myself up.

Back to bed again.

Fragments
Drinking a cup of coffee and discovered the cream is spoiled.

Watching this girl explain to her parents that her nose job was going to be a good thing for her.

Jack and I arriving at this BBQ at a friend's place, only to find that we're too late and people are leaving. Another guest says all the food is devoured.

Notes:
So maybe I wasn't that lucid... After all, I didn't remember any of my current goals, and my goal of driving an awesome car was out the window ages ago. But it was definitely a fun dream.

I was in some restaurant that looked like a pizza place I'd visited a year ago. It's called Gino's East, and is located in Chicago. The exterior of the building isn't that special, but inside people are allowed to write graffiti on everything, including the chairs and walls. I had actually made some drawings in there when I was younger. And, not to mention they make some killer deep-dish pizzas, probably the best I've ever eaten.

Enough with my advertising. In the dream, I was sitting down in a booth on the right-hand side of the room; the restaurant was rather empty except for a few people scattered around different tables by themselves, and the lighting was brighter than in the picture, as if there was a lot of light pouring in. The tables had the same checkered tablecloths, and the booth seats and backs were made of wood.

I became lucid a few moments after sitting in the booth. Although I wasn't as aware as I usually am, I was still capable of thinking pretty clearly. I'd drive a Lamborghini and get that old dream goal off my mind (even though it already was in real life...). I got out of the booth and opened one of two regular-sized glass doors to a busy Chicago street. It was definitely daytime, because it was light outside. On the street, there were cars driving past at around 70km/h. I looked away from the street for a moment, and looked back.

Parked on the side of the street, in front of me, was a shiny new Lamborghini Gallardo.

It was a bit sleeker and shorter than in reality, but that made it all the more interesting. I got in and, although the windows looked small on the outside, they were massive when I got in. I could see just about everything going on around me. Without turning they keys inside (which were present), I stepped on the gas and the car started to drive. I pressed down harder and it went even faster. I was dodging in between cars, going around them... I pressed the brakes when I came to a corner, and I had to really step on them to get the car to slow down. I turned and the car didn't handle that well.

By now, I'd lost almost all of my lucidity. I drove down the streets, looking similar to the picture I'd posted, until it got a little darker outside. I came to a brick building with a large, flat awning over it. It was closed in by two other small buildings, and this created a small rectangular space where I could park my car. I drove up to the space and suddenly went down two or three small steps, which didn't damage the car. When I slowed the car down, I pulled the keys out. The dream ended there.

Lucidity: 6/10
Vividness: 5/10
Length: ~5 min.

A huge building was to my right and a parking lot was to my left. Across the street was my friend Kaleb, I ran over there to tell him that he was dreaming. So I got over there I said "Kaleb, hey what's up?" He didn't say anything. Next thing I know he starts to earthbend at me. So I tried to earthbend back but it didn't work. I took a few seconds to try to concentrate but still no luck. So when he finally put the god damn rocks down I went over to him and said "Hey Kaleb, your dreaming. Come on look at me, become lucid." I talked like that for like 10 seconds but he didn't go lucid. I was hoping that I was having a shared lucid dream, he kept mumbling "No, no, no, no" over and over again. So I grabbed him and we ran very fast across the street. I was like "that's cool" so I tried to fly this time. I picked Kaleb up and I ran and jumped. Flying into the sky, then my feet started to hurt and it started to rain. I didn't think about it but I turned around in mid-air and changed the scenery. I was sitting on a chair and someone else was in a bed, smiling at me. I was like "stay there OK?" He nodded. I was in a farm house. I changed the scenery in front of me and behind me successfully. Then someone knocked at the door, I appeared down there and some broad wanted my help. I was like "OK" and we were in a black car driving. Somehow I just knew that I was in Europe. Probably because of the snow. Then I was in a different car with some blonde broad yelling "he was a nice man, how could you possibly lock him out of the school?" at me. I said "I'm sorry OK" then she calmed down. Then
I asked her "Miss, what's your name?" "Mrs. Akinson" She replied. My math teacher. Then a car crashed into us then I was driving. When I woke up I tried to DEILD. But it didn't work. The End.

So now I was facing this huge dragon, I had no idea what its intentions might be, but I felt like I was losing the dream, like I was going to wake up. No way! There was no way I was going to let myself wake up now that I was face to face with this amazing creature! Refusing to lose the dream, I focused on Allura's method of time dilation, and by doing this I managed to stabilize the dream, which I will continue in the next post.

The huge dragon stood before me, and I was struck dumb… , "Wow… you are absolutely AWESOME!" I said to the dragon, "Absolutely AMAZING!" That sounded like a foolish thing to say to a dragon that looked like it might be about to toast me like a marshmallow, but I was unable to contain it. The dragon eyed me strangely, it was either growling or snarling or speaking in a language I have never heard. It finally paused and then spoke in English, it asked me if I thought I could hide forever. That statement confused me, I had not realized there was a dragon looking for me, so I hadn't been hiding at all. I asked him what he was talking about, he said I already knew that, so now there was only one thing left to do… prepare to defend myself. I told the dragon I had no interest in fighting him, his only response was to say the only alternative to fighting was to die. With that, the dragon flapped his immense wings and soared off into the sky.

I was standing there in the clearing looking up at where the dragon had disappeared from sight when I saw something moving in the sky. It was just a speck at first, but that speck rapidly grew in size until the dragon was filling half the sky, the force of the wind from his wings created tornados all around that were trying to pull me into them, once the tornados were going, he added a breath of fire to each of them which made each of them from a tornado of wind into whirlwinds of flames…

All of the fire tornados were centering in on me, setting everything in their path ablaze… which I found particularly annoying since it was such a beautiful forest… I used the song Trapped Under Ice to generate a blizzard of ice and snow which quickly extinguished the flames and crushed out the tornados, also extinguishing the flames the fire tornados had started in random places throughout the meadow. The dragon was coming in for another attack, I wasn't sure why he was so set on fighting, but I told him if he insisted on a fight he would have one, but not here, it would take place somewhere that there wouldn't be so much collateral damage. I opened a large portal with that in mind and went through it, the dragon right behind me. I wasn't sure if he had heard me and agreed with me or was just following me because I was leaving, and it really didn't matter.

On the other side of the portal I found the dragon and I were in a desolate place that looked like the surface of an asteroid or a small lifeless planet, there was no breathable atmosphere to speak of, but that didn't seem to bother the dragon one bit. The pull of gravity was also greatly reduced on the strange planet. The change of location didn't seem to have any effect on the dragon at all, he was apparently too focused on me to the point that he wasn't aware of where we had gone or just didn't care. The portal closed behind us, and he just continued his attack as if nothing had happened.

The dragon came charging from the black sky, this time breathing a breath that was composed of lightning, Witchblade formed immediately and I jumped into the sky to avoid the majority of the blast. Witchblade formed into a sword and absorbed the rest of the electricity and became charged with it, sparking brightly. Having absorbed the lightning into my sword, I moved around to counter-attack… if the dragon wanted a fight that badly, I would give him one… and there was a huge fireball right behind the blast of lightning that pushed me down into the planet surface, into my own personal crater. Witchblade armor absorbed the force of the hit so I wasn't hurt, but the attack surprised me just the same.

Before the explosion even cleared I was up and in the sky, using energy powered flight like they use in Dragonball Z, using some of the speed Vegeta has been teaching me to control, such that I was up and onto the back of the dragon in an instant… only to find out there was no opening to attack. The dragon's sparkling armor scales were the very image of perfection, or so it appeared, fitting together to create as tight a seal as if they were just one solid piece. The dragon did a full flip and flew up into the dark sky with me on his back, there really wasn't much to hang on to there with the smooth scales, however, so I dropped back down to the planet surface. There were several eruptions from the ground around me, it was pretty clear this dragon had an affinity for tornado formations, but this time it was a water tornado, a water spout formed from water that seemed to come from underneath the surface of the planet.

There were five of the waterspouts, I used Battery and added a bolt of lightning to each one, electrifying them before using Whiplash to send them right back at the dragon that had created them. The electrified waterspouts surrounded the dragon now, sparking and exploding all around him until he used a massive flame tornado to burn off the water and thus leave no easy conduit for the electricity. The dragon himself was still sparking a bit as he glared down at me from his towering height as if unsure how I had managed to turn his own attack back on him.

I still wanted to know why the dragon was attacking me in the first place, so I tried again to ask what was the reason behind this attack. Before I could get more than the words, "Why are…" out, however, he was on the offensive again, this time attacking me with yet another whirlwind, this one was an ice tornado, filled with extremely sharp and fast moving shards of ice that were exploding violently against my Witchblade armor, one particularly large shard was heading for me and I sliced through it with my Witchblade sword. I used the song Phantom Lord to call forth a wall of fire that surrounded me and melted away all of the ice before it actually reached me, effectively adding a large quantity of steam to the dead planet's thin atmosphere. The dragon seemed to be getting more and more pissed off that his attacks weren't getting through to hit me, and immediately followed the ice attack with a fire attack. I used the cover of the fire and smoke to teleport to a spot behind the dragon and try to strike from there, but he was too fast for that. Apparently he sensed me back there and brought his huge tail around, using it as a spiked mace to send me to the ground again, though the attack was still largely ineffective since he hit Witchblade again.

Ok, this was getting nowhere… the dragon couldn't harm me, I couldn't harm him, so maybe I would have to try something else. If I was going to try to strike the dragon from behind, I would still need a way to slow him down, but on this planet he was even faster than he would normally be due to the decreased gravity allowing him to… gravity. That was a definite possibility… I used the song Crush 'Em by Megadeth and hit the dragon with a massive ball of gravity, sending him out of the sky and into a large crater in the planet, the size of the crater made me wonder if the planet would be able to hold itself together by the time we were done there… well, at least there was no life on it, my penticon computer had scanned and confirmed the absence of any life form even as small as a bacteria. The dragon glared up at me from the crater he was now lying on his back in… and then I saw the spot where I would have to strike, this seemed a bit too much like Smaug in the Hobbit with the one missing armored scale on his chest, but I could clearly see there was a spot there that wasn't covered with the shimmering armor.

He blasted a fire tornado surrounded by lightning at me, I used another gravity attack that effectively pulled the fire and lightning attack right back down to the dragon, creating a huge explosion and forcing his crater a bit deeper than before. The dragon issued a loud roar, but it sounded more like rage and anger than pain, so I figured the attack wasn't really making any progress towards hurting him or weakening him even. This was getting on my nerves to have been attacked for no reason at all when I had been having a nice peaceful dream, I took the opportunity to teleport right in close to the dragon, right to the spot where the missing scale was… Even as I drove my Witchblade sword into that spot, the dragon was sending another whirlwind of electricity and ice at me, I flew down the center of that whirlwind with my Witchblade sword and hit the mark where the missing scale was, driving the sword all of the way in.

This time when the dragon roared, I could tell it was even more pissed off than ever, but it was also in some pain, so apparently I had finally made an effective attack. I pulled the Witchblade sword out and jumped back out of the dragon's reach just before he tried to cut me in two with his razor sharp claws, he was laughing now even though he was bleeding from his chest, he was saying there was no way something that minor would kill one such as him. I was still wanting to know why he was attacking me, so I asked what the attack had been for in the first place. He said I already know that, and I would not escape judgment this easily. It seemed the blood loss was weakening him more than he cared to admit, he said he would be back to get his revenge, and next time he wouldn't be so easily defeated. I was getting really annoyed that he wouldn't tell me what this was all about, so I tried doing a telepathic scan to find out what he was thinking… I got a glimpse of many dragons flying through the sky over a planet covered with beautiful forests, but that was all I saw before I woke.

Important Note:
Okay, so I haven't really been logged into the site regularly for a week or so, as school has started. I find my schedule to be hard to include lucid dreaming, but fortunately I tried that no-preparation technique about just being confident, and guess what it worked.

Description: Okay this was a very stable, and very vivid lucid dream, I still don't have much dream control except for my own actions. I seem to not be able to fly, I don't know why but my past 4 attempts at flight have failed. I know I can, because I actually floated quite high on my first semi-stable lucid dream. Other than that, I haven't on will. But this dream I did try a little bit of telekinesis, and it worked just a little bit.
I can't recall my weeks worth of dreams, school has started so it has been harder. I remember some parts of dreams during the night, but when I take naps, I can remember some fragments. This dream started right in a middle of a plot, but I can barely remember why it was happening. Anyway on to the dream!

Dream: Okay so I am with two of my brothers, we are walking on this hill, and at the bottom of this hill is a wooded area. Outside the air is cool and crisp. The sky has taken on a dark blue color, the type of sky you see right before it becomes dark. Everything is this shade of blue. I guess we are looking for somebody, as in my field of view I see someone running by the woods, so I give chase. My brothers or whoever I was with completely disappear. As I enter the woods, I see the ground in the middle slope down into a tiny creek bed, water is running through it, I can hear the water passing over the pebbles as the current takes it down the stream. The water is probably only half an inch deep. I somehow trip into the water landing on the pebbles. Now I start acting strange, I start doing backwards somersaults, I keep doing this frantic movement for about a minute. During this I become lucid. Even as I become conscious of the dream, I am still doing little flips backwards, and sideways acting like a fish out of water. Finally I get it under control as I am now standing. I start walking, but I black out and find myself in the void. I am only in it for a few seconds, but I then have an FA, where I am waking up in my room downstairs. I still am conscious of the fact that I am dreaming, but I never bother to do an RC, I just for some reason know that I am dreaming. So I end up in my basement. Before I do anything, I start to stabilize my dream. I rub my hands together, and grab onto the dream objects, and just cement myself in the dream I look around and my basement looks like it did about 8 years ago. With the old couches, and the t.v box in the corner of the room. I see my mom stacking VHS tapes onto the shelf. She notices me and asks me to help her. I say "No sorry mom, I am dreaming right now, and that you aren't there." She says something, but I don't remember. So I walk toward my laundry room. It has that old blue striped wall paper, and I see some brown boxes on the floor. For some reason I get the idea to try to use telekinesis. I point my hands toward the first box, and just try to move it. I successfully make it shake. So I am done with that. I turn to my mom and ask if it is alright for my subconscious to come over to our house. She says yes (I don't know why I asked her lol.). So I end up appearing upstairs in my living room, but all I see is the bay window, and front door. I don't recall anything else there. I take a look out the window and see three people walking toward the door. The first guy is a younger guy, dressed like a cop. Just without the hat. He has short brown hair, no facial hair. He is a bit taller than me. The second guy is nondescript, I don't remember what he looked like. And the third is a young teen around my age. Only the cop guy enters the house. I say are you my subconscious? He says yes, but then all three of them disappear and I am outside the house in front of the front door. The outside has that same color dark blue as before. I see the houses around my neighborhood. I see my brother's old car where it used to sit. I walk towards the street, and I want to fly. So I jump up into the air, but I just fall back down. So I do it a couple of more times. Those attempts fail. So I repeat to myself this is my dream, and I can fly, because I know I can. So I try swimming up into the sky, but that fails. I then try doing a superman fly, but again doesn't work. I always have trouble flying, I wonder why. So now there is this white vehicle coming on down the road. I thought it would help to jump off of the car and see if I could fly. So I run toward it, and jump onto it, and then off of it. The car completely vanishes, and I am suspended in the air. I gently float back down to earth. As I hit the ground, a giant skyscraper appears in front of me, on the corner where AJ's house used to be. And in this building I see somebody in a crazy mask, with a sniper rifle! So I take cover behind my brother's old car. As I crouch behind it, I can feel the cement, I can here the shoots being fired. I start looking around for a weapon, I try willing a sniper rifle in front of me, but that doesn't work. I notice my brother standing up and not caring in the world that a sniper is shooting at me. I don't think he noticed me, or the sniper. The dream ends abruptly, and I awake.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Hello everyone!

Okay, so, I'm new here and this is my very first post.

Up until now, I've only had a few lucid dreams (not counting with my first years of life- it was all nightmares back then). The reason for that is that I don't appear in most of my dreams, so there is really no chance of becoming lucid in them. When I do appear though, there is a good chance of me realising that it's a dream and obtainng lucidity.

My goal is to, first, better recall my dreams (I already remember at least one dream everyday), second, try to have more dreams in which I'm present, and third, obtain lucidity everytime I do. As of now, I have no clue how to achieve the second one, but I'll get there... hopefully.

Last night I went to sleep at about 10:00 pm, tired and a little stressed out. I had a long lucid dream and, after that, I only remember waking up (not sure if I had another dream after that one...). Here it is:

~Taking Over~

At first everything was pitch black, I couldn't feel or see anything, but then I realised I was actually looking at the back of my eyelids so I carefully opened my eyes. The first thing I see is a bright blue sky with lots of white clouds; there's a strong breeze and I feel a little bit cold. Looking around I figured out I was on the terrace of a probably very high building because I couldn't see anything else around it from where I was.

All the while, I couldn't shake off the feeling of being out of place. I try to get up (as I had been siting, with my legs tucked under me) but I quickly loose my balance and fall down; I'm much heavier than I ougtha be.

'What the...?' I think, confused. I look at my hands- they're huge! 'I'm a guy...' I realised. 'Okay, I'm definately dreaming now.' this wasn't exactly new to me, being a boy in my dreams that is, so I soon got over that.

Looking at the rest of my new body, I saw that I didn't have anything with me; I was wearing simple clothes (that did nothing to protect me from the cold) and had taken off my shoes. I'm not excatly sure why but my heart started beating really fast and I instantly knew that I had ended up in some guy's body and that this teenage boy had been planing to kill himself. That was a scary thought, so to keep my mind off of it I quickly grabed the boy's sneakers, putting them on, and walked towards the door behind me (I was quickly getting used to that body).

The building itself was preety run down, there lots of nasty and crazy people living there and could swear there were blood stains on the walls and stairs. I couldn't wait to get out of there.

Even as I walked down the streets of whichever city I was in my dream, knowing next to nothing about this boy, I wasn't nervous or scared. After all, it was a dream and my dreams always had a way of surprising me. It was already night tough, as I stopped to see my reflection on a window of some shop (I had orange hair and eyes of the same colour, a relatively small build, although my hands were really big, and I was also preety tall), when a very preety girl runned up to me, yelling what I soon found out was my (the boy's) name, and tackled/hugged me, crying her heart out and telling me that she had been worried sick about me.

After calming her down, I talked to her a little bit as she walked with me to my supposed house (she problably got the impression I had amnesia). When I got home, I was greeted almost the same way by the boy's parents, who were about to call the police.

To cut a long story short: The dream went for a couple of months, me living the boys life. Along the way, I found out why the boy wanted to kill himself but concluded it was his own fault and that he failed to see he had suportive friends and parents that acctually loved him. I was really starting to get used to being him and was even enjoying it.

The incredibly long dream ended after the girl, who had a major crush on him, gathered up the courage to kiss me. I was so shocked, I couldn't move a muscle and was blushing like mad.

I think I fainted after that, becaused everything faded to black all of a sudden.

After that, I only remember waking up in my bedroom, in real life. I got really embarassed when I remembered that last scene.
