lucid

I think there was more to this dream than I remember, as in a long beginning before this. I woke up in the desert. There were trees growing in the sand everywhere. Wtf? Lucid. I looked at my hands which showed the normal amount of fingers, but I didn't need any verification. I knew what I knew. I yelled to hear my voice...It sounded strange and warped in the dream. Now, I had a task to complete which I accidentally let slip through my fingers in the last lucid.

I walked up a desert hill and unto a beach. Waves crashed at the sand and I knew this is where I needed to be. I ran up to a wet, wooden dock and ran out on it until I knew I had enough distance in the water. I jumped in and felt the warm water soak my feet. It was surprisingly vivid. I decided to increase the clarity before I went further. I tried to avoid thinking about having another body in the physical plane that was laying in a bed.

I dunked my head underwater but before I could fill my lungs with the poisonous water I rose out of the water like a rocket and into the sky. I kept going up and up and into the heavens, into the clouds and into the universe.

Lucid:

I was in a dream where me and a DC were trapped in a small shabby looking room as we had been kidnapped.
I remember the DC i was with as a male, with Curly hair. we were in the room when i suddenly shouted, "wait im dreaming!" to which my dream cahracter didn't take much notice of. Then all of a sudden our kidnapper burst into the room, he was a big fat bald man, he had an angry look on his face and he threw me around the room(as small as it was) but i seemed to be bouncing off the walls. i then saw a small window beside me and thought of it as an escape way. Dream ends.

I was lying in my bed and suddenly went into SP, i opened what i believe to be my dream eyes for a split second and saw about 10 Round yellow balls on my 'bedroom' floor.

i was lying in my bed this morning when i suddenly went into SP, i got a bit freaked as i knew i didn't want to go in to SP. i reamined calm and opened my eyes. I was still Paralysed but i was in the dream world looking at my bed but could not move. i then fought my way out of it. Dream End

Non-Lucid:
The other night i had a dream that me and some DC's were playing a rayman game in a big outdoor playground type place. i then said "what are those things called again"? (talking about lums to which u DC replied "lums". i thought this was weird as how did one of my DC's know something that i dont. which beg's the question 'Do DC's contain forgotten memories? or do DC's represent different memories?. Dream end

Me and some DC's were sitting in a forset with ( i thnk) playing airsoft. i picked up a mask a mask similar to pshyco mantis from MGS.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Yesterday was exhausting, so I had difficulties in recalling last night's dreams. On the first dream-phase I know I had 3 or 4 dreams, but no matter how much I try to recall, I just have vague feelings. In the morning all I could remember from these first dreams was one bit that was lucid.

Lucid mirror manipulation
Not a big deal as I have had many lucid dreams a lot more interesting, but hey, it's was lucid so it's important to mention. I got lucid when looking in a mirror. It happens a lot, even if the image is just perfect. There was somebody else with me and I wanted to show this person we were dreaming so I put my hand on the mirror until it became soft and I could put my fingers and hand through it. Then for some stupid reason, I decided I wanted to try its taste! SO I grabbed a little bit of liquified glass in my hand and touched it with my mouth. It got stuck in my teeth, as caramelized sugar and solidified around it. Imagine, glass teeth! I'm sure it would look cool, but the sensation was not so comfortable, so then I lost lucidity trying to get it off my teeth. How stupid.

Guesthouse with lots of guests I know
On my second dream-phase I also don't recall the beggining. But I was visiting some city (recurrent dream I have, always travelling somewhere). I can only remember well from the moment I entered the place where I was lodged. I had to insert a code on the door to be able to enter and I was afraid I didn't know what it was and would have to sleep outside. [semi-lucid] I kinda knew I was in a dream and that is why I had no idea of the code. But I tried the one from a place in Germany where I was staying a few months ago and it worked. Nice. So I entered this place, it was very late in the night and there was no soul around. I went to a room that was available - no idea if it was mine or not, but I had to rest. I thought it was extremely nice place and apparently costed 50 EUR per night, which I thought was not that cheap but also not so expensive for the conditions it had.
I hear some voices in the corridor so I open the bedroom door and I saw a bunch of my old colleagues from the university. Somehow they were now like some characters from Grey's Anatomy. They were interns in med-school (althoug we are actually biologists) and were all leaving in the middle of the night to go watch and learn some important surgery.
I go back to my room and there is this strange vintage curtain over the bed. I pick it up and realise it would make a lovely dress (dresses seem to also be a recurrent theme), so I try to transform it and try it out, when two girls start entering my room. Apparently it was theirs or they are also trying to find one that is empty. But one of them is a girl I know for many years called Diana. We talk a little bit but the conversation ends around the dress I was trying to make. I look in the mirror and I look incredibly fat on it - usually in my dreams I'm incredibly hot - and they seem disgusted, and comment that such nice dress on a fat lady is just wrong. I think that I'm not that fat but didn't realise it was a dream-effect.

The Pope and buddhist monks
Later on I am wandering on this guesthouse which is now huge like a city in itself. I found myself in a part of it that is castle like. I don't remember the details but I am now with my buddhist teacher and some buddhist monks. I am wearing robes like the ones of the monks but actually they have 3 colours: red, yellow and aqua-blue. When I am still starting to figure out how I and them got there, passes by us on a corridor a bunch of catholic priests and monks and then the Pope. Lots of people with candles follow them and we do that to. We all end up on a room. [This was clearly resulting from a conversation I had with my dad during the day. He doesn't accept very well that I'm buddhist so I asked him if he'd feel more happy that I was catholic. He is an atheist so that would be even more hideous to him]. The Pope is conducting a mass and even the buddhist monks are paying attention and respects and I think, maybe I should do the same, but for some reason I don't feel any devotion towards this guy as I do feel for my teacher. Then I hug my teacher wholeheartedly. Of course he is only my projection and that is why he doesn't react. I notice that his robes are the exact opposite of mine (in terms of colour disposition) and I can't help to realise the parallel with the Da Vinci code theory about the clothes of JC and Magdalene on the Last Supper. I hear all of the mass and then the Pope and everybody else leaves. When I pass in front of a giant mirror in a hallway, the way that my half-buddhist robes are now falling, instead of folded, I realise that I look so much like Virgin Mary. And I look beauuutiful.

[ Prince of Persia
I'm now on top of what looks like a curtain wall of the guesthouse turned into castle. There's a lot of commotion on the street down there. The earth is shaking a bit and a huge scar appears on the ground. On the other side of the street there's more of this castle like construction and a gate leading to its inside. There's a big banner announcing Prince of Persia (I guess the movie). A guy appears behind me and invites me to go cross the other castle. Apparently it is already closed as it is night but he knows some way to get inside. I go think about it but first I go back to the guesthouse inside to rest or change clothes or whatever.

Peeing and the black hair girl again
Again in the guesthouse, which is becoming more palace like each minute, I try to find a toilet. I finally get to one but when I'm already going to seat on the toilet I realise there's a girl in the shower. But she is just sitting there, with clothes on and I'm not sure what she's doing there. I look at her and recognise the girl with the long straight balck hair from yesterday's dream on a cave. She just tells me to go ahead and pee. I do it and it actually relieved me a lot. But here I got semi-lucid and realise that I could be peeing myself in bed! I think "I hope not". but continue living the dream.

Marriage
After the toilet scene I was again going up and down exploring the guesthouse and found myself in a huge ballroom where a marrige was being celebrated. Mostly old people were there but also a few youngsters. I realise everybody is looking fancy and I'm on sabrinas with socks and decide at least to take the socks out. Some young girl laughs at me because I took at least 5 socks from one foot. Then I sit on a table with the young people and one the boys invites me for something. Actually I think it's the one that wanted to visit the castle in front. Apparently he is quite a playboy and only the hot girls get his attention so everybody is either surprised or envious that he is flirting me. I mean, not that I'm ugly, but I'm in a palace, on a marriage, with 5 pairs of socks...

Kill Bill
In the last dream-phase of the night I was inside the Kill Bill movie. I don't know if it started before, but remember only being under the ground with Uma Thurman. I felt like I was her but watching her from the outside at the same time. She was pissed and trying to get to the surface. Unlike the movie, in this dream there was a guy by her grave just ensuring she was really dead and buried. Then, like in a zombie movie, she put her hand outside, the guy freaked out but had no time to run, she grabbed him by the neck, beat him up and threw him on the grave hole left by her. He was K.O. for some time but when he was waking up, she threw on him an explosive. His eyes popped out with despair when he saw death coming and she pressed a button and kabum! Then I though - wow, that was mean and I would definetly not do it. I'm just watching, I'm not really her. Then I was not having fun anymore and woke up.

When I woke up and was trying to remember all the details of the dreams to write it down, I then opened my eyes and the face of this girl in black hair was still hovering in front of me on the ceiling. Who is she? Maybe she's been on my dreams for a longer time but only know that I'm recalling many more of them I noticed her presence. Or maybe she is just a dreamer that started now sharing dreams with me. If you're out there, I hope to find you

So I tried to do a wild this at 5 am this morning. It didn't work, but at some point I was lying in bed and pinched my nose, and found out I was having a false awakening. So I sat up and wondered what would happen if I were to think about something bad... which turns out is a bad idea. My bed started to float and a ghost, thingy came and was "haunting" me.

Eventually it went away, and I started walking around. Just sorta fading in and out of vividness. after a while, I tried to fly, but that didn't work. But it turns out I could jump super high. Then I woke...

Triple Rainbow!
I was watching a storm from my window. It actually was sunny outside, from this side of the house, but the front half of the house was experiencing a rainstorm. It was like the break in clouds was right over the house.

The sunshower was producing a triple rainbow effect. All three rainbows were very brightly coloured, too, and quite vivid. I took pictures and recorded some video on my cellphone, so I could upload them to the net, later. I wanted to send it to the "double rainbow" guy, on youtube.

More rainbows - Lucid - 1/5
I chained back into a dream, lucid. I was on a very long stretch of straight highway and the end of the rainbow was beaming down right onto the road. It was extremely bright and vivid. I walked through the rainbow. It had two sensations. It was all misty, like water droplets, but it had a certain viscosity to it, too. I was slowed down as I walked through the rainbow. I woke up again.

I came across a discussion about this, and I thought I'd put down some of my ideas for good "totems". First off, a "totem" is a device or personal affect that only the owner thoroughly understands that is used as a means of separating the dream world from the real one. I've used "totems" for years as a for of reality checking, only I referred to them as charms

#1 - Rosary
One I used myself was a rosary with a few specifics...

• rose scented beads
• a small hole drilled into every third bead
• a pewter crucifix with a sterling silver dove for a hail holy queen bead
• the 10th bead of the 4th decade was missing
• the dove was attached with gold chain links - all the others were silver
• INRI was inscribed upside-down on the cross

#2 Matchbox Car
Another one I used myself with fair success was a 1976 Metal Canary yellow jeep wrangler car with an angel wings decal on the hood.

• It sat on it's axel wrong so it wobbled
• it drifted to one side when pushed
• had a specific model number on the bottom

#3 Weighted Turtle
The third one I used was a pewter turtle with a jade shell.

• I was the only one who knew how it was weighted
• Only I knew about the small heart etched on it's underside

#4 Spoon

• Ever seen a waitress check her reflection in a spoon? The concave side turns the reflection upside-down - if it's right-side-up, you're dreaming!

#5 Marble

• Flatten one edge of a marble. Be careful to do it not so it's obvious at plain sight, but that when the marble is gently rolled it will come to rest on it's own accord.

Lions!

I was in a jungle, its was nice and warm and very sunny. I started to notice there were lions everywhere! There were hundreds everywhere I looked. None were too bothered with me but when I got too close sometimes they stood up. I was trying to get away but everywhere I went there were just more! I tried climbing up some palm trees that had enough angle for me to get up but I kept slipping.


Pack of Unicorns

I was in Wellington and I hopped on a bus with some mates. They were going to Masterton and I couldnt go because of something. I was deep in conversation with them when I noticed I had forgotten to get off and was all the way in Masterton. Suddenly they hopped off and I was alone on the bus. I went to the driver and told him the story. I didnt have any money and so on. I had my eftpos card in my pocket but didnt want him to see it as I didnt want to pay for the trip. I hopped off in the country and there were a few other cars. A middle aged couple approached me and said they were driving over to Welly later that night an 9pm and said I could get a ride with them. I was happy to have that sorted but they did seem pretty dodgy. Then my dad came out of nowhere and me and him and a cute girl with short red hair hopped in a van, the girl was driving. I noticed a unicorn in a field we drove past and then saw more. There must have been about 5-8 in the paddock. I thought this was pretty odd and RC'd. My pinky didnt pop straight out as usual but with a little effort it emerged between my fingers. I was dreaming! I started rubbing my hands together, it felt so real! I told my dad I was dreaming and told him to rub his hands together too. I was just starting to think about making a portal to the moon when the dream faded away.


Escape with the Midget

I was with a midget, for some reason we were prisoners in some sort of royal castle. The head man of the castle had organised for us to escape. I dont remember how we got out of our cell but I remember sneaking around and seeing the main guys wife who didnt want us to escape. She saw us and sent her guards. We ran into a realy big room and out a huge door into the courtyard. There were heaps of guards chasing us. I was ahead and was going to run out away from the castle when the midget yelled out to go into the church. I didnt think it was a very good idea but opened the huge wooden door to the church. Just as this happened it went like a movie to a shot of the midget who was quite a bit behind me. The guards were still quite a way behind him. They shot some wierd thing at him. It looked kinda like the head of a fork and when it flew through the air you could see the way it came like bullets in the matrix. When it hit him he couldnt move. Then all of a sudden he burst free and started running again. It went slow motion and I could see heaps of the things flying by and barely missing him. He made it into the church and I started locking the door. There were like 5 locks and I did them all up. The midget ran into a small midget sized door. I tried to follow him but I got stuck in the small door. I knew I couldnt make it and woke up

19-08-10 I woke up in my bed, after a few jolted and fragmented dreams like mentioned before. But this time it was different. I felt the same tingly sensation all over my body that I remember from my first WILD, I quickly started loosing control as everything was dark and there was nothing to see. I shouted “Woow wow, get back here” did a little jump and reached out for the ground while spinning. I mentally said to myself I need light, I needed to see and start using my senses in order to stabilise the dream. I couldn't keep the lights switched on they kept turning off. After a while the light stabilised a bit and I started focusing on the mess on my floor, loads of colours and clothes everywhere (like it is in real life) except there was an old pair of shoes I no longer posses (now I know where to look if I should be fortunate enough to have another Lucid before the end of August ^^). I decided though that the idea of cleaning my room in a lucid dream was a bit of a waste so I walked into the hallway remembering now to smell, touch and try and look around. ARGH damn lights, what good is it to be mentally able to turn them on/off if they won't stay on!!! I started loosing the tingling sensation in my body and was afraid I was about to wake up, so I did a quick check and reached out with my hand and made an empty Coke bottle fly into it.. Telekinesis, check.. still dreaming. I walked to my coffee table, that admittedly was slightly in the wrong place and made sure I caressed it and felt out for the edges and corners (something I reminded myself about when awake, at work considering writing a small explanation on Schemata, from an old presentation I have lying around). In the lounge it was dawn although it had been dark night in my sleeping room (didn't think anything of it, the DAMN DAMN lights were still way too dim!!). I tried to remember the goals I had set myself and these needed DCs so I decided to take to the streets, also knowing there would be street lights. I flew out my kitchen window (which has now become my new favourite exit place need to remember to turn it into a portal at some point). Hovered around and looked in the same direction, as where the woman appeared the last time I tried to ask a DC my dream name. There were no people, but a simply fantastic (although small) Siberian husky came down the street towards me. I landed and sat on the ground calling out “come here boy” in a friendly tone and as he came I started cuddling him behind the ears. I was aware that the visual and tactile sensations of cuddling this dog was helping me stabilise the dream, and besides the dog loved it (I will get back to just how much in a bit ^^). I looked over his shoulder and I saw that woman's back as she turned a corner. “stop” I shouted, and took off flying after her, the dog followed. I thought to myself I could grab a quick dream flirt ^^. As I came around the corner I saw a door leading slightly downwards, the type of door that leads to a corridor under the building(s) commonly associated with the university structures. I flew through it, the dog followed (didn't pay any attention to the dog's control ability till after having booted up the PC to write down the dream). As I flew through these corridors I several times flew through doors, which I have never been able to before (the dog followed). And midway through I noticed the dog jumping up and down, either he wanted more attention or thought it was as fun a game as I did. Now that I was confident in my abilities to fly through matter, although not being able to see through, I flew up through the walls at an angle and the dog followed until I reached a café of sorts. The dog disappeared, but the woman was queuing up to get seated. The café had a professional feel to it and the surrounding buildings in quality seemed governmental. I said “hi” to which she replied “hi and goodbye” which I found very odd, although I didn't treat her like other DCs in the past, to whom I would say “youre in my head, this is my dream”. I wanted to talk to her and start the whole flirting plan I had in mind, but she kept refusing me although she was smiling while walking away. I must have asked her why she refused me, as she said something like “I don't know it just seemed rude since I wasn't going to get anything to eat” I asked “why is that?” and she seemed stunned by the question and as she was about to answer... I woke up >.<

Potential Dream Sharing with my wife. (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

A more decent night. Hopefully my subconscious is digesting all the new changes in my professional waking life. One fragment and two lucids.

Third:

I woke up from my previous lucid. It was not as awesome so I wanted other one. I promised to myself that I was going to MILD and have a decent lucid. I focused on a forest while falling asleep.

I was with a female DC. She was good looking and I knew she liked me, however, I felt we were just friends. We were indoors and we were going downstairs to some place. This place, was in the middle of nowhere, within a big forest. She was tired so I grabbed her like a "Just Married" couple going to the hotel. I waked faster to get to the place. Suddenly, she was waking next to me and I was surprised.

We got to a place, now, I was with my wife instead. We were going to a group of meditation and psychics. There was a guy with us and he was talking about what was going to take place. He told me we would start to see how my yoga was. It was not necessary to be qualified, but it was like some extra credit for something. We approached a room and he opened the door. There were three female DC and two male DC stretching. I observed they had blue yoga mats. My wife said that she know nothing about Yoga and she was not doing it. She left and I entered with the DC.

I was streaching when I noticed that I was on my underwear. I started to be worried about that, everybody else wore yuga suits. However, I noticed that the professor did not wear underwear. I saw his penis. I found that weird and I decided to RC.

My hands were blurry and I felt my dream fading. I though, "No way. That never happens to me" I exited that class and saw a small window. I knew if I started to fly my dream would become stable. I started to fly and I saw that my wife (who has been waiting outside the whole time) grabbed my foot and I was just floating. My dream was not stable, so I needed to fly away. I flew with my wife holding my foot. She was scared and I dropped her off outside a garden outside this building.

I was in the air, with my dream fully stable. I could see the Skyscrapers several feet away. It was dawn and it was beautiful. The sky was clear and I could feel the wind blowing my face. I felt very calm. I was happy because I finally had a decent dream to enjoy and slow down my waking craziness. I was going to fly away, however, my wife did not vanish and I found that odd.

I landed next to her and I asked if she knew where we were. She did not act dumb like a regular dream character. I told her we were in a dream. She replied that it was awesome, that finally she became lucid. I told her she did and I was very happy. I told her, "You are not used to this kind of gravity. If you feel you are going to wake up, tell yourself to remember this dream."

I remembered that my students on the MILD classes did not have much of a success with the lucid task I ordered, so I wanted to do it as example for next week. I decided to take flight and fly around the forest. I flew around the trees. I did not see that many trees, it was a pretty deserted forest. I flew over the threes and then, around the trees. I decided to land as the task was done. My wife was alone queuing. She still did not vanish like a regular DC, she stood in the same place where she was.

I flew back to my wife. She was looking around surprised. I rose my hand and aimed to a tree. Next to the tree a small white light appeared. My wife asked me, "Can I destroy that tree with my fist?" I replied, "If you believe, you can... see this" I rose my hand and used telekinesis on one tree. The land started to vibrate and I pulled the whole tree out of the ground. I was doing this with my mind. I could see how some dirt came off the tree. I saw the roots of the tree, perfect roots like real ones. I banished the tree into oblivion in the middle of the air.

My wife stopped next to a tree. She rose her fist and hit it. Half of the tree broke and fell to the ground. I saw how several leaves and branches flew in all directions. My wife was very happy. I started to feel I was going to wake, I tried to spin but I woke up.

I had a FA in my room. My wife was saying, "Do not hit me, do not hit me" I woke her up and told her it was not me. She replied, "Yes, you were lucid!" I told her it was my DC, that I awoke after she broke the tree. I woke up for real.

My wife never recalls dreams and she was not able to recall this one. Her DC acted and thinked with a lot of sense, never seen a DC acting and thinking that well. My wife was able to talk about stuff from waking, which means more evidence that she might had a lucid dream share with me.

Bully attack - 2nd Flight to the moon canceled by my cat (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

A more decent night. Hopefully my subconscious is digesting all the new changes in my professional waking life. One fragment and two lucids.

Second:

I was like in a school. I was going to attend a class about meditation and chakras. I was waiting outside and I was eating a dish of meat and potatoes made in the slow cooker. A 50 years old DC approached at me, entered the class and adviced me to join the class because it was about to start. I felt the class was going to be empty, as I saw no one joining it. I entered the class with my dish and found out that the class was crowed. I saw a lot DC that were copies of other classroom mates that I had at junior school.

One of the bullies critiqued my food and start laughing at me. I ignored the bully and he good mad. I did not feel threatened so I kept eating. He threw a punch towards me, however, I rose my arm and stopped his punch without even blinking. I hit him back and he got even more mad so he attacked a weaker DC.

He grabbed the DC on his legs and he started to spin. I felt he was trying to throw him at me, and he did. The dream was now in slow motion, more like Matrix effect. I saw the thrown guy coming at me. I avoided him Matrix style and he crushed with other folks. The dream banished and the scenery changed.

I was outdoors and I knew I was dreaming. I was in a big plaza and I saw a few DC. They were odd looking but they ignored me. I wanted to do a RC to make sure it was a dream, my hands looked OK, a little blurry but OK. I jumped about 10-12 feet easily.

I felt the dream was stable so I decided to fly to the moon and visit Nomad. As I was flying to the moon, I felt like something furry was moving around my legs. I wondered what was going on and my dream started to fade. I had double conscious for a few seconds until I woke up. My cat was purring around my legs asking for some love.

Missed Dream Signs:
- Junior school's classmates.
- The Matrix effect.

Noticed Dream Signs:
- None.

Reality Check Performed:
- None. Turned lucid without reason.

I am so excited to share this with you, even though it was really short. :/ But here's my 3rd lucid: *giggle*

Now, before the series of dreams and then my FA, I had woken up and decided to WBTB. I just went to the bathroom though. Then I laid back down, and tried to think of nothing. My mind kept wandering off but I tried to keep as many thoughts as I could out of my head. It kept going on like this until I fell asleep I think, when I had the dreams. At the end of the dream before my FA, I saw an iPad that didn't look like one far away. I looked closer and it had the cover of my phone around it. It was a red cover. So I sorta thought to myself. "Hmm..this is weird.. do you think maybe i could be dreaming?" Then the dream ended. That's when I had the FA.

ONCE AGAIN, this dream was hardly controllable. I really didn't feel like I was in it, I just remember feeling the RC. All of my LDs so far i have had little controllability (if that's a word) and little feelingness.

ANYWAYS...

I woke up in my bed, It was really dark except for the dim light on in the bathroom. Like I was taught, I did a reality check to (just in case it did happen) catch a false awakening. As soon as I plugged my nose and breathed in I thought, "Holy crap I'm dreaming! I've never had an FA before!" After this, for some reason I started daydreaming about Taylor Lautner with blonde hair, lol. And once again, I was scared that I would see something scary around the corner, or that something would pop up freaky, or that I would be just plain afraid. I don't know why. I guess it's just because anything can happen in a dream. And to my bad luck, my alarm rang. I woke up with a start. I was happy that I got lucid for the third time, but not happy it ended so quickly. stupid alarm!

I'll post the dreams I had last night in the "MILD Class Dream Entries" post. Thank you for reading DV members!

I was standing in an older structure, indoors I think, and there was a fish tank, about 20 gallons. There were dark rocks at the bottom and lots of dark plants. There were two fish. A red fish with white stripes and a black fish with smaller, yellowed-white stripes. They were swimming and I was talking to them, but I can't remember what I was saying.

Suddenly, another, smaller tank appeared. The fish were suddenly in this 2nd tank but the water was VERY low. They were struggling against the plants and rocks at the bottom of the tank. I ran to an outside faucet on the wall and filled up a plastic, fast-food cup with water. I poured it into the tank, but when I did so, it overfilled the tank (even though it was at least a 15 gallon tank). The fish were floating at the top of the tank and almost slipped out. I dipped the cup into the water and took out a cup full and poured it into the 1st tank, which suddenly was empty and the red fish was in there. The water was suddenly carbonated and was fizzing and the fish was squirming uncomfortably. I ran the faucet again and filled up the cup and poured it into the tank and the fish was ok. Both tanks had enough water and I just left it.

At certain points, I was a fish and was in the water too, but otherwise I was a human watching the tanks.

Suddenly, I was walking along a sandy path beside a fenced area. The fence had wooden posts and three wooden slats with wire covering them. I was on the outside walking with a stranger, who sometimes was my fiance but other times was an older man or woman.

We were walking to look at some rare species. The fence was lined with eucalyptus trees, and it was extremely hot and beyond the trees was dead grass over rolling hills that went on for miles, but in my mind, the hills dipped down and there could have been a mountain or some barrier not too far off.

We got down to the end of the fenced area, where a fence ran the width of the area and another 'pasture' began on the other side. There was a gate here on the closer side. Inside, were about 10 six-legged half insect/half goat creatures. They had a brown, exoskeleton and they were trying to push over sapplings to get in the shade. I remember pulling out some sapplings and throwing it over the fence to them for shade. They had insect like heads and four legs which they stood on and then two front 'arms' that had pinscers at the end like a praying mantis.

The other person, a stranger, was telling me about how rare they were and how they were trying to revive the species. I was very disturbed by the little creatures.

We continued to walk and in the other field, which had less trees in it, was what looked like a man. He was barely clothed, but I didn't notice that. He was maybe 30, VERY skinny, and had stringy, oily, yellowish hair shoulder length. He had PALE skin, so very white, but blotched with dirt and sand, and his eyes were puffy and red. His eyes were yellow and his eyelids and cheeks were brilliantly red in contrast to his skin. Even the whites of his eyes were reddened.

I noticed I was now inside the fence, although not sure how, and that he was glaring at us. The stranger told me to stay away, he was dangerous, but then we noticed one of the six-legged creatures (we'll call it insectus) was in the field 'grazing' in the corner. The stranger was alarmed, and the humanoid (we'll call them Karjas) noticed the creature too.

The stranger tried to shoo the insectus out of the gate (there was a green, metal pipe gate suddenly) but I turned and noticed a 'pack' of Karjas running our way from across the field. I somehow 'knew' that the Karjas and Insectus were 'at war' and that they were disgusted that an insectus was in their field.

I turned and started running, but I was sluggish and barely leapt through a slat in the green gate before they enveloped the insectus.

I 'awoke' and time had passed. Lots of time. I 'knew' the Insectus race had been killed off and the Karjas had taken over. The fences were down and there were 'structures' what looked to be really tall, lopsided wooden house-like dwellings, where the eucalyptus trees had been. The Karjas had grown in size and there were hundreds of them. They were not tall white, some were black, but an ashen black, with greyed short hair. There were also olive skinned ones that looked the most human. These were usually children. They were clearly not human, due to their skin and their red eyes. They wore neutral colored, tattered clothing and were 'migrating' it appeared, toward the currently uninhabited dwellings.

I was suddenly in a 'secure' area about two hundred feet away, with real humans in a group, and the Stranger was talking to a group of Karja women seated on benches. The women were wearing office attire, suits or slacks, and all appeared human. The stranger was saying that these Karjas had been living amongst humans, working with them and living with them, to study us. These would be 'spared', the stranger indicated.

I was sitting with the Karjas on the benches (made of earth at the time) with grass on them, and there were three rows. On either side the wooden fence appeared again, forming an aisleway, but there was no wire, just one single wooden rail that was made of what appeared to be natural, thick (1-2 inch) branches, not manufactured wood.

Suddenly, there was dust and beyond the benches the aisleway was sandy and Karjas were bursting through the fence onto the aisleway and then beyond into the new fences area. However, on the other side of the aiselway the open space extended only a few feet where there was a very TALL, impassable fence bordered by thick, tall, dried brush that looked like sugar cane almost.

I watched the Karja's race across the aisleway into the new area and 'understood' that it was a game of sorts. They were being willed to make it to the new area, like a challenge. I watched the Karjas run through the fence on the second side. They didn't stop or bend for the one rail. They just ran through it like it wasn't there. I suddenly realized it was some sort of forcefield because the Karjas were stuck on the other side and couldn't pass back into the aisleway. For now, there were only young Karjas running through, about 12-15 years of age. Although, I saw other Karja, older and younger, coming from the fields.

The atmosphere became more urgent as Karja realized they were trapped. A tall, viewing tower appeared where a real human watched the Karja being confined. I saw a younger boy, maybe 8 or 9, sitting in the sandy aisleway. He was laughing but distressed, and he appeared blind. His eyes were glassy and grey, with no pupil. He had large teeth. He was playing in the sand and he was indicating he needed help to cross. I knew that they were being confined, and I sat and couldn't help him be enslaved. He had dark hair and ashy, olive skin, and appeared to be a younger, more human-looking Karja.

I was back with the Karja, assimiliated women on the benches. A little time had passed, because the Karja were now all standing on the other side of the fence, in the field again, but they were all wearing chestnut colored, leather harnesses on their chests. We somehow could control them. They were silent and stood in order. Younger men, maybe 20 or 30, stood in front and their skin looked more normal and their hair was brown. But their eyes were still red.

The stranger was there, and indicated we had enslaved the 'zombies'. They weren't really zombies, but they appeared to be not-living, it was true.

The assimilated Karja women were sitting and were sharing their 'experience' as humans. I was seated at the end of the benches, away from the stranger, and I noticed that there were women Karja that weren't wearing the leather harnesses. Their heads were shaved, and their eyes were darker and more human, but they looked old. One black woman sat beside me, and her head was shaved but very short, ashy grey hair was growing. Her skin was very ashen colored, almost a milky grey, not black.

She was sitting in an olive green, canvas material shirt and beige pants of the same material. She had no shoes. A young girl, maybe 17, was sitting on the middle bench. She was talking to the older, black Karja. She was wearing a pink tank top and her hair was brown. She looked very tired. She was irritable. She was telling us how the humans had been asking her about men she wanted. About how they had given her a home to live in and were selected mates for her to reproduce with to create a superior race. She said it was 'chaos'. She was very upset, because she wasn't free, but because she was the most human looking Karja, she was being used to breed. The men were being used for labor and the women who could reproduce were bred with human men. But the humans tried to make it seem comfortable by trying to get their 'type' of man and making the home comfortable.

I woke up then, thinking how utterly horrifying it was we were breeding these creatures.

(DREAM ON 8.17.10)

This was my first real "attempt" at lucidity. I have been lucid before, and have exerted a large amount of control as well. I additionally have read about all the sorts of methods, but really dislike anything that requires me to wake up. I additionally have never really kept a dream journal.

So I am walking out of the Barnes and Noble's bookstore near my house (which I went to Thursday), and I notice that my car is totally messed up. All the doors are open and I notice that the roof is slanted and the car is really just screwed up. At this point my thought process is totally wacked and I just realize that I am dreaming. I start to lose control and the dream starts to fade. I spin, and come back. I take it and drive to the Chick-fil-a that is near the bookstore. I get out and meet my friends coming out of the store. Then I look behind me and notice a guy getting back into my car (which was unlocked) and I grab my keys and try to lock it as fast as I can. He is locked out. He starts to come towards me and then my not very intimidating friend intimidates the guy into leaving me alone. I think I recall later getting into a knife fight with the guy.

Next part of the dream I am in a small town near Waco TX, but I think I am in Denton/Krum, TX (which is 3 hours North or more). I get on my phone for google maps and search an address. A large green arrow comes down and points to the house next to me, but I am afraid to knock. I remember having my Corolla and stuff.

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Night one (17/08/10):
I'm on the phone with my mother, an earthquake stikes. It gets really bad, my house is shaking a lot and I think I might die, but miraculously, there's no damage to the building whatsoever. We talk about it for some time on the phone and the feeling of having survived is incredible.
Then I'm on some island with a group, hikking on a volcano side. Suddendly it shows signs that it will erupt and we try to get the hell out of there. Then it gets blurred.
Then I'm wandering on a shopping center - I get lucid, I think about the future and future lives and I'm carried into a new dream in the future.
I'm orbiting the earth on a ship, seeing the planet through a window. Someone by my side tells me that the graphics on the screen (some orange areas overlapping the poles) are sites where the atmosphere is in serious state of degradation and will soon disrupt. I feel his worry and want to know more but it ends there.
Not lucid anymore, I'm now helping some young people renewing a house they occupied, when the police comes to arrest us. They offer no resistance but I hide and run away. Then I start being chased and I use my ability to fly to get out of there. But there's this guy, not wearing a police uniform, and he can also fly! I think "shit" and he soon gets to me. Strangely enough, when he gets me, I feel extremely attracted to him, I seduce him and I kiss him. He offers no resistance and it gets hot.

Night two (17/08/10):
I recall being on a city, on the subway, but no details.
Then I'm on a train, my boyfriend is there with me, along with other people. We need to get out at a certain station and I have my bags ready. Unfortunately my boyfriend forgot to pack and all his stuff is still in the sleeping cabine. When we reach destination he just gets out and I'm left behind packing his stuff. I feel upset but decide to get out on next station and come back to meet him.
Then I'm on a public pool or aquatic park. Lots of people, lots of fun, but I'm just watching from this platform/balcony and passing by.
Apparently I'm again with my friends from the train or whatever. We're walking a deserted area, when some strange aircraft flies over and drops ahead some kind of gadget - looks like a missile. One of the guys goes to see what it is and takes a little box containing a little insect-like spy robot from the thing. As a group of agents/militaries approach the place, we try to get out of their way and watch what's going on. They see us but realize we have no clue what's going on, so they just take the stuff with them and go away.
Later I'm again with these friends on some mountain with view to the ocean or a lake. We are in a kind of gathering, with a guru, everybody sitting on a circle on pillows. But it seems to be quite a silly thing what is going on, so one of the guys comes to me and suggests that we go do something else. We go downhill to the water and I realise I'm also very attracted to him. For some reason there's a point on the dream in which I start to sing "Mi Chico Latino" from Geri Hallywell (go figure, maybe the guy was latino, but I didn't notice). He dives on the water, clothes and all and I'm feeling quite happy, almost like a teenager in love.
Maybe because our other friend kept the tiny robot he had stolen, the camp is attacked by agents - bombs exploding everywhere. But we are by the water and we hide behind a boat.

Night three (18/08/10):
It started with the classical dream of zombie's attack. I came in contact with some kind of "alien" creature that was "infecting" people to become zombies at his service. He saw that I saw and he chased me. He could send laser-like rays through his eyes and he managed to burn me a little. I almost died but escaped.
Then I tried to warn everybody, but the zombie people looked entirely normal so they were already on the subways and on the streets and they spread exponentially. Soon after it was impossible to be on the streets because they were everywhere. Don't remember what happened then, maybe I just got tired of the dream and moved on.
In another dream I was again with some anonymous group of people. We were outside, I think there was a wall behind us and I was feeling frisky. I started flirting with a guy and he wasn't even interesting. He offered some resistance so I ended up playing alone, if you know what I mean.
So I found myself in a house. I remember being on a balcony and realising I was in some foreign country.
I walked around visiting the place but not really sure of where I was. I had a plane in 3 hours to return home so I needed to go back and get my bag from the house, but I saw this Zara shop (of clothes) and fell in love with a red dress for only 6 EUR! I bought it with debit card and realized that the people on the store were speaking spanish. When they realised I was portuguese they started talking to me trying to convince me to register for some kind of event. I told them I was just departing.
Then I had another dream where I was watching a conversation between two people that I know, they were talking about having some money to spend and I approached them with a concrete suggestion of how to apply that money (something that I'm actually organizing in my wake life). We were standing on the lawn in front of a house and all of a sudden there was an explosion and all the glass, wood, concrete, was flying in our direction. Everything was in slow motion, I threw myself on the floor but was aware that I would be hit by some of those debris. Althoug I wasn't fully lucid, I was kind of aware it was a dream, so it was interesting to think about how it would hurt me, but didn't feel afraid.

What I found most interesting in these dreams is that I had the feeling that some of the DCs were actually dreamers sharing the dream with me. The guy that was chasing me through the air, the guy I flierted with, the guy who stole the robot and the guy that invited me to the water, they all had something more than regular DCs, they left an impression on me that they were actual people.

Lucidity: 6/10
Vividness: 7/10
Length: ~8 Min.

OK, I can't remember much of this one. But I know that it was really long.

I remember when I became lucid though. And parts after that. I remember that I was a pirate and we landed on an Island, it was very big and was almost completely covered in water.

For some reason I was in a castle and there were three other people with me, I followed them for a minute and then they went through a window and I looked down and when I did it was like 30Ft. down, then I became lucid. When I did, I got the idea of just floating down there. And when I looked down there again there was some sort of wall there. But I kinda floated by it and landed safely. When I walked towards those guys that I saw. Some hot broad was like flashing at me and she wanted me to take her for a ride (sex). But I just ignored her and walked away. Then I found a tree that was all weird and I ran towards it and I started to fly, it was really cool. Then people were walking towards me and saying. "He did it, he settled a tree. My boy, you deserve a promotion." Or something like that. Then I was trying to be Spider-Man by shooting webs out of my wrists, but it kept shooting out all over the place. And for some reason I had a lazy eye like in real life. That's how used to it I am. So I finally gave it up after trying for like 3 minutes and just followed some people that I saw. The next thing I knew I was walking in a big hall way and some guy was forcing me to go down the hall way. When I did I saw three girls in front of me and they were strip dancing. And below them was some guy that I can't recall very well. And to my left was a door. I went in the door and there was a bath tub in the room. I was like "what the fuck. I'm leaving, or maybe I could stay a while." Some broad appeared out of nowhere and started to talk to me. She wanted to have sex with me. I didn't really want to, but if I don't wake up there's not a problem. I went out the door and picked up a hooker and she turned into a bottle? So I told the guy that was sitting there that I would take this one and he could take the other two. He was like "OK." After I went inside I put some of that stuff in my mouth. She said it was for oral sex. Then I looked away and looked back and guess what, she disappeared. That's such a surprise (not really), but I tried to make her appear nothing happened. I tried making little spinner things in the bath tub and it worked, but a human being wont. That sucks. Anyways, I found her in a little Hamitic to my left and she was sleeping. So I woke her up and the next thing I knew I was walking around outside. I was in a small city, like Carson City. With a bunch of stores. So she said that Oral sex was illegal and I said "In this city or in my mind" or something like that. She didn't respond but for some reason my teeth were hurting a lot. I tried to ignore it but it didn't work. The next thing I knew was that I was trying to hump her doggy style and it didn't work. So we walked back and it got dark and I saw some broad that looked OK. So I asked her if she would give me a blow job and she said OK. So I told her to stay there and kept walking. Then it got pitch black and we looked in a store window, it kinda looked like a diner. That was completely lit up. And a bunch of guys in glowing blue masks looked at us. It was really scary. So we started to walk back again and when we made it to her store it was a relief. Then the sun started to come out and the dream faded into real life. This one is my favorite one so far. This just keeps getting better and better.
