lucid

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

I start off in this dream outside on this nice green grass near a large tree. There are some guys by the tree. So, I'm on the verge of lucidity, and I'm swinging back and forth on something near the guys by the tree to impress them . Well, I think I may have done a back flip too-which I can't do IRL. Then, it hit me that I was lucid full on. I fly off, and the scene skips. I am at some sort of school-and I see the buses, they are small buses. They are lined up in some funky half circle position. The blacktop in front of this school is ginormous.

I ask these random girls where all of the cute guys are. They tell me on this one random bus. They looked like middle schoolers to me-and I'm a junior . ANYWAY, I see the bus they're talking about. Unfortuanatly, for some reason I go by the bus on the wrong side, and the other buses are blocking me from going to the other side. The buses start moving. But I go on top of the bus, and there's a sunroof, so I sneak inside. I sit by this random person right by the sunroof. This is an odd bus. There's only like 6 or 7 rows, and each row only has 2 seats and there's no aisles! This guy 2 rows in front of me looks back, and says hi to me. I say hi back in that corny flirty way you hear on tv because I knew it was a dream, and the only safe place to say it like that . The girl next to him starts talking to me, and I think about telling them that, but, eh, I don't. I start to wonder when kids will start getting off, but then I realize I can just mentally stop the bus and have everyone get off! So, that's what I do! I get off, and I hold the hand of that guy. At first, I want to walk somewhere, but instead I kiss him 3 times and I wake up.

So, I go into this odd looking room. It is like...IDK, sorta like a factory, yet a home, a large room. It was weird! So, I am talking to this bad guy type dude, he is at a distance (luckily). Well, one thing he said is that he makes all of the cookies ...Well, I saw this guy take a new cookie sheet with fresh cookies on it and set it on this odd huge table type thing. And, of course, I thought he looked cute. Surprise surprise! I said to the guy that he doesn't make him, but he does *looking at the guy*. He kind of nods in thanks, and I nod back. Then, I became lucid. I noticed there were a lot of people in the room. So, I told them to leave. That guy was in front of me, and I told him not him [to leave]. I just tugged on the back of his shirt, he didn't move. We held hands and went somewhere.

The scene skips. We are outside at some house- a lot of it was deck. A LOT of deck! Well, I kissed him or something. THEN, I look at him, and now he's a she. "She" had long light blonde hair with ever so light waves. "She" had soft freckles". I mentioned it to him...IDK what he said. Well, we go to a different spot of the deck, like in between houses. I see this one girl I know from school. At this point, "she" has her long hair in a pony. So, I told the girl from school to cut most of her pony off to "turn" her into a guy. Then, I told them to make it shorter. SO, they did. I was nervous it would look choppy... I was picturing "her" the way "she" was supposed to be-a dude . He had short soft waves .

Well, the scene skips and we're back in the odd room from the beginning. We probably kiss a few times.

Dream dinner - Lucid - 2/5
I joined this line up for some food. It wasn't very easy to tell where the line up started.

Then, we saw some other people jumping the queue, and starting their line up in what was admittedly a better position. But it pissed us off and we started shouting "Hey, there's a queue!" and they began taunting us.

We somehow managed to take our spots back by cutting in front of them when there was a gap in the line. I told everyone to run for it.

We get inside and we're greeted by this lady looking like she could be working for Oktoberfest. She had a tray of veggie things and potatoes and the like. I got some dumplings and rice from her.

Behind her, there was an array of plates full of breaded fish and chicken, but for some reason, we weren't allowed to eat them. She kept blocking my path and saying they were for dinner. I said they'd be cold by dinner.

I got a burger and joined some strangers to eat. Not much here, other than one girl didn't know where i got the dumplings from. Oh, and she told me this was a dream dinner. We could order anything we could have wanted in a dream.

[Woke up and chained]
I'm on the roof of the same restaurant. Its flying down to join a main building. I had to crouch in to avoid getting knocked off. The guy controlling the building's flight was impressed and said I should be a sorcerer's apprentice. I was game for that.

[The deer. Scene jump, possibly another chain, can't remember]
I saw a very aggressive deer attacking a fence. "This is a dream!" I thought to myself. "About fucking time I recognized one!" ("This is a dream" is my MILD mantra).

The deer saw me and started to charge at me. I jumped up to fly. However, gravity pulled me back down. "WTF?" I thought. I tried jumping again. This time was more successful, but the deer started floating with me I decided to blast it with some fire, but... nothing came out.

Frustrated now with my lack of control, I tried just blasting it away with energy shocks. It kind of worked, but it turned into a dog. And the dog was still quite pissed off and bitey.

I tried blasting the dog with fire and nothing So, in a last ditch effort to change the attack, I threw a shield around myself, closed my eyes and fell to the ground.

To my surprise, the dog started licking me! I opened my eyes and started petting the dog. He rolled over to his side for a belly-rub. I propped myself up on one arm and kept petting him. "So, why did you stop attacking me?" I asked him. "Is it because I gave in, into a submissive stance?"

The dog nodded.

"I guess I shouldn't really do that next time though," I pondered.

The dog nodded in agreement. "The attacks may not always stop," it said, wisely.

Racing against Time

I opened my eyes, looked above and spotted lots of stairs. Apparently, everybody understood they should find a way of getting to the top in something around 40 minutes. There were no rules, no judges, nothing. We (there were many people around) only knew we had to pass the tests and get to the next level.
As time passed, I started to realize I was, sooner or later, going to be the last person left. I looked after someone and found a girl who was also having problems with the challenge. She goes to the same school I do, so it wasn't hard to interact and plan things together. Working in a pair, we quickly saw one of us had to make some kind of "human bridge", holding the stairs with the legs (in this part the stairs were broken) and the ground with both hands. She did it and manage to pull me up.
We got to the final area and learned that we had a test to do, no matter how little time left we had. We planned something and received our paper sheets. Both tests were english ones. We felt relieved, for we knew they weren't difficult. Some of her friends passed by, laughing at us as if they were mocking us for being together as a couple.

University

This dream is incredibly long, so I think it'd be better if I could just save the most important parts.

I was at a very old building, where we were having Drama classes, by watching the teacher act. His role on the play wasn't that important, but some people cheered and made exaggerated compliments, obviously with other intentions. He simply ignored them, and only actually talked to the ones who had questions about the lessons. Ready to go and talk to him about what I had just watched, I tried to speak to him, when a girl started to discuss acting techniques with him.
Somewhat embarassed, I acted as though I was just meandering around and went checking some books placed nearby.
When I got to him, I said he did a nice job on the character, and he replied in a sarcastic way, which I responded with a joke or something like that. The principal showed up, she looked like she'd been looking for the professor. He knew he had done something wrong, so he held me by my arm and started to run.
Now at the campus, the principal made an attempt to hit us with her car, forcing us to hide at an alley. She found us and tried to hit us again. This time I grabbed her vehicle and simply threw it meters away. The man seemed impressed, but anyway we just splitted up and continued on running away.

Nonsense.

This was probably one of the most peculiar dream experiences I've ever had. Besides my mother telling me she caught me on my knees, whispering "they're everywhere, they're everyone", the dream itself was completely random and senseless.
At a shopping mall, I walked around with a friend of mine. The scenario
was surrealistic and improbable, there were some insects, alien creatures and mutant beings everywhere. At a certain point, my friend and I climbed up a moving train (which was also at the middle of the shopping center) and started to run on the top of it. I accidentally caused him to fall down and get some minor fracture on his back. I felt guilty.
Now unexplainably back to my apartment, I was sleeping at my bed. A bomb had been planted underneath me, and that's when a Scout from TF2 appeared, trying to defuse it. He gently moved my body away (now I do think this was when my mother was trying to get me to sleep -for she claims I had been up on my knees-) and searched for the object. Finding it a bit too late, he ran away from the upcoming explosion. I got up in a first-person view and somehow became lucid. I walked towards the corridor, where some ghosts started to come out from pretty much everywhere. Some even showed up from inside the walls. I no longer was afraid of them or the bomb explosion at all, for I now knew I could try to control things. I moved some random part of my body, probably my arms, and managed to "erase" the ghosts. Apparently the explosion wasn't even in the dream anymore. I wake up.

Fragment- all I remember is going to panda express and getting there organge chicken meal... when I got the meal it was filled with a bunch of junk like colslaw and everything i hate but i couldnt find the orange chicken.

Nightmare to lucid
I was walking home when i head a weadeater.... it was getting closer and closer so i looked behind me.... there was a very scary man getting close to me with it. I ran. He came at me and I hit him and got a knife and nearly killed him. I went into my house and heard the mans son saying he would come over and kill me. When he came over.... I ran from him and then just knew i was dreaming. the man disappeared and i was once again FULLY LUCID!
I tried to fly again... I couldnt physically... so I imagined myself floating up and it worked. This gave me the idea to have an obe inside my lucid dream. I felt myself floating up and partial separation... but full separation didnt work. Then I made myself have a HUGE mansion.... I had an amazing pool.... the biggest id ever seen. I said I wanted Megan fox and a bunch of girls to come to the hottub with me... but nobody showed... Then I heard a girls voice... I looked up and it was megan fox walking torwards me. Then a big limo pulled up full of girls and the rest is history.
I felt my dad and sister waking me up.... i tried to stay in the dream but i couldnt.... i woke up... to my dad telling me there was a crime down the street. I lost lucidity at this point. guess it was a false awakening. I cant remember a whole lot.... I just remember asking him if i could use my superpowers and being too scared to actually do it.

These are a few fragments I cant figure out which dream they were in...

I went to a themepark with my dad and rode a ride in which we had to get ourselves swiging and move our heads around to make the ride tilt at different angles

(( for part of this dream, I was lucid, but several other times I was about to wake up but somehow remained in the dream. So some parts I wasn't. ))

I remembered there was this hospice that I was travelling to, with the youngest of our group, a 10-year-old-girl. The rest of my group was holding up in an abandoned masnion, which served as our home for the time being. I drove a very old teal car there, in order to better disguise ourselves. Upon reaching this hospice, I got us both out of the car and did a quick once-over of the building. I was going there to see an old lady who had been in charge of the project to turn us all into what we were today. I was about to go in when the girl I was with started to make a fuss.

I told her it wasn't safe and she needed to stay out here - in case I had to make a quick getaway. Not to mention it'd be safer for her, if Erasers were present and planned to sneak up on her. The girl was throwing a fit, but after a stern comment, she soon quieted and agreed to my plan. That being taken care of, I turned around and entered the building.

It was nice and furnished pleasantly, and didn't reek of heavy cleaning. I walked up to the receptionist and asked her where the lady was, and she smiled at me and directed me to her. She was currently eating lunch, but upon seeing me, she froze and a very cold glint entered her eye. Having lied to the receptionist about wanting to go see my "aunt", I looked at her, grinned cheekily, and said, "Why, hello, Auntie!"

I despised this woman. I hated her with almost everything I had. She had not been kind in the least during my period of captivity. The receptionist left, and I began to demand answers about a black folder that contained sensitive information about us. She denied having it, and began to ask me questions about silly things that honestly made no sense. I realized she was trying to stall me after a few seconds, so I growled at her, whirled around, and quickly made my escape. There was a man who was trying to catch me, but I was too fast for him.

Exiting on the side of the building, the girl was the first one to greet me. She was holding a huge black packet, and as I looked, I found she was grinning.

"I found it! I found what we were looking for!"

"Celebrate later, baby. We have to book it."

And we did. I jumped into the driver's seat of the car and I took off, pealing rubber and making a hasty escape.

Next thing I know, I'm standing on a street corner with the second youngest in my group, and I was on the verge of waking up. I vaguely remembered reading something about rubbing your hands together to stay lucid, so I did. And I stayed lucid. The girl was gesturing for me to run, to hurry, to follow her. I did, and together we sprinted down the sidewalk to our hideout.

"Are you sure you're not being followed?" I asked her as we ran.

"Yeah, yeah. I ran this street like, five times already!"

"Then what's that noise, doofus?" I asked her, and we both stopped to listen to the rustling in the grass.

It was Erasers. They were underground, gearing up to attack and following us. Worry swept over me - the second oldest in our group and the third youngest were still at the mansion. Were Erasers already there? Unknowing, we double-timed it to get there, and our wings sprang from our backsides and she launched into the air, making it into the second story.

The scene we found was utter chaos. My flock was running everywhere, and Erasers were hunting us all. I tried to fight them, but I wasn't really in control of the situation. My second oldest - a boy - was. And the scary part was he was part Eraser. He was bird-boy and werewolf. And somehow, he managed to drive them off by using a chain.

People had been present during this fight. People claiming to be my mom and dad. So my flock and I met them in the outside parking lot, and I remember we each had a word with them. Until it was my turn, and both of them turned around as I began to tearfully apologize for never coming back all of those years. They turned around after composing themselves, too, and asked why.

I told them we all had wings.

They didn't believe us, so I showed them. They weren't engineered to be on our backsides, but come out of our skin when we needed them. With concentration, we could make them emerge without danger or fear or strong emotions provoking them. My wings did, ripping right through the jacket I was wearing. I had beautiful white wings, and to demonstrate I could fly, me and the flock went through a joyride of the parking lot. My parents were delighted, and even invited us all to stay. Despite me warning them about the dangers of us, they persisted. We accepted.

Our clothes were altered so they wouldn't be ripped to shreds when our wings decided to pop out. And next thing I know, we're driving along in a car to a beautiful lake side that got a lot of tourism. Lake Chelan, they called it. We got out and began to hike around it, until finally I decided to fly above the lake. I tried to fly several times, but my wings wouldn't come out. But finally, finally they did. I managed to get a little ways over the lake before I lost lucidity and I fell into the water with my flock, where we were all laughing over the awestruck faces of the people on the shore.

lol i cant believe i actually did it. it started in a regular DILD, i couldn't WILD this morning, i think it had to do with when i went to bed last night. anyway where i remember, it starts out in a house, theres an evil menace with me, i had thoughts about leaving the dream, but then i was like "nahh, and miss this?" so i grabbed a ruler and tried to turn it into a sword, didn't work. the evil dude summoned his minion, who just happened to be my neighbor lol. he came at me, i kicked him in the stomach really hard, he doubled over and i ran. i ran towards the door, thinking if i could get outside, i could fly away. i got outside, and flew upwards just as my neighbor tried to grab me. i flew up into a tree, and laughed at them because they couldnt get me. i then floated down a bit, and saw a girl in the next yard over, walking towards the yard i was in. she was blonde, somewhere near my age, maybe younger. she kinda looked like Annasophia Robb, but with wavy hair.

Spoiler for my new dream guide!:

i was like "ehh, wat the hell, ill ask her..." i floated down onto the bed of a truck under the tree. as she neared i said "hey are you my dream guide?". she was like "yea"...
lol i was so happy, i was barely suspicious at all. i asked her, "ok then, tell me something that only you know about me...". she said i was gay lol. i was like "o well, i wont be gay in conscious life, im religious" (no offense to gay people, im baptist). she then jumped up on the bed of the truck with me. i said "hey can we go somewhere quieter so we can talk?" it was really loud, people were running around having fun. she was like "aww, i wanted to have a mud fight!". i said "we can have a HUGE mud fight some other time. you'll have to help me out with the whole lucid thing ok?". she agreed. she took my hand and said "ok just walk backwards..." so we did and jumped off of the truck and fell off the scene i was in, and landed in a different one. it was a quiet place, it had two levels, with a pond in the center of both levels. the floor and walls were beige, the entire area was enclosed in walls. here i drew a picture:

Spoiler for a quiet place:

we landed on the red square, i looked around and jumped down onto the green square (neither squares were in the dream, i just put them there for reference). i then asked her "so what can you do?" she then did this really cool looking Avatar move, with airbending, it was awesome. i think i then started to lose lucidity, everything started getting weird, talking about sex and marriage lol. thats all i remember. i finally found my dream guide! i just hope shes not a fake

Non-Dream Non-lucid Lucid

I feel like i've made a breakthrough. During my holiday, something just clicked. In my dreams, I've began to just "know" that i'm dreaming, it's hard to explain It doesn't happen everytime I dream obviously, but it's progress and I'm happy for it .

So last nights dream (or one of them anyway) done this and it was pretty damn awesome (at least to me anyway haha ) I can't quite remember how it started but I'll try and piece it together.

I'm at a party for my friend Rachel. She's just had her room decorated and for some reason a ton of people have came to help her celebrate. They've all brought loads of gifts. Rachel doesn't know what to do with them all, so she puts them in the attic. Later during tIhe party, we decide to go see them all. Leaving the party, we ascend a large, white stone staircase that is deffinatly not part of her house. We're outside now, and keep climbing the staircase.

Soon we reach the top and a white and gold There's alot of white and gold things in this dream. angel smiles at us. We smile back and keep moving. All the gifts are placed in neat rows, for some reason they're all the same. A grey dwarf from Disney, most likely Grumpy. We move in and out of the rows, then get bored and head back towards the staircase. The Angel is in the middle and once we climb on, she moves the staircase to the floor because it's shrunk a little.

Once at the bottom, I somehow know that i'm dreaming.

I forget to stabilize and RC, but the dream is fine anyway. Maybe it would've been clearer if I had. I forget about Rachel and look at the sky. It's nighttime, but cloudy. I wish I could see the stars. I seem to be really instinctive during this lucid, because I smile and jump. I take off flying, it's so amazing.

I pass through the clouds quickly, and see the stars. But i'm flying fast and they're getting closer and closer. I don't want to spend this lucid in space. I've only flown a few times so my control is a little off, but I manage to twist around and stop. I float, looking at the grey clouds underneath me, and decide to change the world.

I fly towards the clouds, and pass straight through a storm. Then I get close enough to earth so that everything's like a patchwork quilt. I throw my hand out and in a flash, it's changed. Not the way I want it though, so I do it again. Suddenly it's daytime and down below is sand and palm trees, I fly down to take a look.

I land in the sand and look around. Between the trees, there are gigantic moths everywhere, sucking things out of the sand. This is deffinetly not where I want to be, so I fly up again. I really think about where I want to go, and when I snap my hand out, I think of medevil times. I fly down, and Rachel and I (who magically appeared again ) are in a green forest. We're not in medievil times but I don't really care, I want to explore.

We find bikes nearby, and head off. On the edge off the forest there looks like a ditch. It's actually a river traveling. We cycle beside it and follow it downstream. Soon it forks to the right into a lake. There's a guy walking around on the water (I found if I cycle fast enough I can cycle on the water too). I whisper to Rachel; "Ok, I'm going to "fall in" accidently of course, and then he's going to rush over and save me and everything will go from there." He was pretty damn hot. Longish dark hair and pale skin. Been dreaming about this guy alot recently. He pops up from time to time. But as I watch him, Miley Cirus appears on a jet-ski. She "falls in" and he rushes over to save her. I get off the bike and stand, open mouthed. I curse her for getting there first and Rachel pats my back sympathetically I know I could've attempted to blast Miley to pieces but I want some drama in my dreams! "Bloody Miley Cirus, Hannah Montana, whatever." I wonder out loud if he'll think she's shallow. I tell Rachel the plan might still work, she objects.

Out of nowhere, tigers appear from behind the trees. Well I have to weapons and no battle experience so I decide not to take on a bunch of hungry, snarling tigers. "Run!"

I try to dodge around the tiger but it's having none of it. Rachel runs in the opposite direction. "What the hell." I mutter, and throw myself into the dark river.

"Nicole, no!!" Rachel shouts in panic. "Not the water! Anything could be down there!"

I roll my eyes and swim forwards. I'd rather risk a few fish than a few giant tigers. The tiger that was trying to eat me is hanging over the edge of the bank, not wanting to go in. It seems afraid of the water. I look forward and find out why. There are huge fish, with equally huge snapping teeth, swimming toward me.

"What the fuck is safe around here!" I snarl and try to grab the edge of the banking, but it's too high. The fish are coming pretty damn fast.

Suddenly, someone grabs my legs and throws me up. I land with an oomph on the soft grass. I tiger comes to mind and I throw my body over so I can see everything and be prepared. There's no need, they're dead. I here a noise to my right and scrabble to the left as fast as i can.

"Hey! It's ok, it's ok, you're safe now."

It's the boy who was walking around on the water. He's on the grass beside me, blood splattered. I don't know whether it's his or the tigers. I edge myself over to him, we lie on the grass, I'm calming myself down and he's just watching me.

After about a minute, I lean on one elbow and study him. Yup, definatly the guy who's been in my dreams. He mirrors my poster and does the same, studying me.

"Thank you." I whisper. "What happened to Miley?" She's nowhere to be seen.

"I don't know, I got to you as fast as possible. I can't let you die." He said quietly. "She's rather shallow anyway."

I smile at that, and analyze what he said. Can't let me die? I'm dreaming, although maybe he doesn't know that. He feels a bit like a protector of some sort. I'm about to ask why he can't let me die, but he makes a choking sound. I look over him and see a large, bloody gash in his shirt. My eyes widen.

"Oh, gosh I didn't see that." He clutched the wound. "Maybe I can-"

"No," He interupted. "It's too late." He takes deep breaths, but they're laboured. His voice barely rises over a whisper. "Come here. I need you to do something for me."

I lean over, so his lips are close to my ear. He passes something into my hand. It a thin, white and gold dagger. "You need to kill them. It's dangerous, but you need to kill them." He shudders.

"Who," I ask softly, stroking his hair, comforting him. It's the least I can do. "Who do I need to kill?"

After a few breaths, he says; "Follow the river, you'll see..." Then he looks me in the eyes. His are a perfect, clear blue. I know he's close to dying. I ache silently.

He sweeps some of my hair away from my face, and then kisses me. I seem to be getting alot of kisses whilest dreaming, not that i'm complaining Then he moves his lips to my ear and whispers; "I'll find you."

He takes his last few shakey breathes, then lays his head on the grass, and dies.

I gaze at his body for awhile. Then at the dagger. Maybe he's an angel, they all seem to be white and gold. I pick up his dagger. The thin gold that snakes it's way across the hilt is clean of blood. I get up, and follow the river. After awhile, I find it stops, and there's a dark hole. I climb in and end up in a damp, dark tunnel. It's large, with pipes running along it.

There's a group huddled together at the end of the tunnel. The dagger glows ever so slightly. I've to use it to kill them. Nothing else can kill them, I know that much. I feel determined, this is what I've to do. I slash a pipe and direct the hot steam towards the group. They scream and scatter. They see me and run towards me.

I slash at one at cut through hard bone. This dagger will cut through anything. They're going to overwhelm me though. I turn and run. There's a red, rusted chainlink fence. I cut through it and suddenly, my vision is darkening. The dream is ending.

But I need to kill the bastards!! I spin, but it ends anyway.

Now I have a new goal Imma kill the dark creatures.

sorry im posting this on an ipod, so im not gonna take the time to capitalize stuff or add apostrophes. also, sorry for any typing errors.

so im walking down a suburb street by my friend lauras house. lile not on the sidewalk, but in the middle of the road. it was a bright sunny day with big white fluffy clouds. i was walking along and i saw this kid standing in his lawn watching me. for some reason this made me question whether i was in a dream or not. i pinched the palm of my hand to check. it hurt, but not as much as it should have. so i flapped my arms downward, which made me float up. "cool! i am dreaming!" i thought. but because this is my first lucid, i wasnt really in full control. so i had to keep flapping my arms to stay afloat. thats all i remember.

Remember two dreams from last night... one was a fully lucid dream.... and another one was a non lucid.

Lucid- I was sitting in a room with all of my relatives. My grandma asked me to do a reality check... so I plugged my nose... and sure enough! I could still breathe in! I Marvelled at how realistic it felt. It was truly physical... and It was very hard to convince myself it was a dream because of how real it felt... so I tried flying. It wasnt easy.... I flew like a little bit but because the dream felt truly physical and real... i just couldnt fly very much. I was able to fly over a couch... and that was about it. I was told to fully master my dream... I had to go into a room and choose from a book what I wanted to do... So I did.... I picked " ride around the grand canyon on a dinosaur" The dinosaur went strait up a lot of things which made it very scary.... because once again... it felt really physical. The dream mustve ended after that... because I dont remember anything. It wasnt the best... but hey... it was another lucid dream. Oh... and another thing.... I did not try to have it... but I have been doing reality checks whenever I thought About it. Also... I had a very hard time remembering my dreams and didnt until hours later.... and this leads me to believe I may be having more frequent lucid dreams.... But I NEED TO get my dream recall up.

Non Lucid- I went to the beach with my family... I wasnt sure how I got there I just was. There were two ropes in the water.... the first rope meant some danger and the second rope meant high danger. Me and my dad swam out to the high danger.... We were swimming when I mentioned to my dad that I saw things swimming in the water. He Said he did too... It was sharks.... dolphins.... and whales... I swam as fast as I could torwards shore.... as did my dad. I made it without problem. Later that night I was watching the news which was talking about the abundance of dangerous widelife there was that day. Not a very good dream if you ask me.

I had this dream (or series of interconnected dreams) this night, when I fell asleep from 6:00AM-5:00PM. I had used autosuggestion very loosely, so I'll call it a DILD.

Technique used: DILD
Length: 45 min

lucid non-lucid not a dream

I forgot a lot of the dream (I didn't write it in my RL DJ, and wasn't able to type this part till now, a good 6 hours later) but I do remember fragments. Also, it's good to note that I was starving when I went to sleep.

So, the dream started with a lot of my brother driving and a few of my cousins, we all hung out, and then we had to drive to get some food at my aunts. We got there, and there was a teleporter somewhere. I think I used the teleporter to teleport to my next dream scene.

This next part was all extremely vivid. I walked from my mom's car to a restaurant with her and my dad. My dad and I walked to the staff room (for a good reason I can't remember), which ended up being a large windowed room, with three layers of windows till there was the outside. I thought of doing a reality check, since that was weird. It was odd though, my reality check failed, but I still had the feeling I was in a dream. I tried two more times, and it sort of worked, but I realized I must be in a dream anyway.

I wasn't very lucid, because of the shoddy RCs I think, but I was with my dad, and I knew that it could be the real him in the dream world, so I told him I was in a dream, that we were in a dream. He said he knew. I asked him if he realized that that meant we could do anything, and he said no we can't (I think). I tried to break a glass window, but it didn't break. My dad said something about it, and I told him I could cut it with my fingers.

I put my finger to the glass and did a very shitty circle, cutting it through. I broke that part off, then broke off the rest mentally. My dad tried as well, but instead broke it physically when he was done. For some reason doing this interested me a lot, and after talking to him a little bit about dreams, I kept doing this with the windows until I lost lucidity and found myself back in the restaurant with my dad.

It was a FA, I told him I just had a dream, and he was in it. I asked him what he did in his dream. He said he was with me, but he was at our basement or something, and we were making holes in the tiling. He added some other info, about us both knowing it was a dream, and I concluded it was a shared dream, but not a very good connection.

I woke up, and fell back asleep.

I was in a different place in the restaurant, and I did another RC. Shoddy again, but I still realized I was dreaming. My dad was with me, and we were atop a spiral staircase, all white, with a very interesting curvy railing. I saw a baby girl sitting at the very end of the railing, and I decided to go grab her, I was about to slide to the bottom, when I FA'd again in the restaurant with my mom and dad.

I don't remember what happened after that, but after a minute or so I woke up IRL. It was very interesting, and I felt that my dad was actually there. It seems to me that I kept switching from the astral plane into my dream world, and that in the astral plane, RCs don't work as well, or the vividness throws me off, and I only was with my dad in the astral plane.

I'll ask my dad what he dreamed about and see if we made a connection, and I'll update this accordingly.

EDIT: I talked to him. He said it happened. He remembered a great deal more than I did. We also got high together, had sex with some people and he said We fell right after the glass building thing. That was when I lost lucidity, so I was probably a DC at that point, otherwise I would have flown, or at least remembered it from terror. He remembered nothing about a restaurant, he said that never happened. I find it pretty probable that I met up with him in the astral plane, and that the other parts where I wasn't lucid was in my inner dream world or something.

This is my first successful (remembered) shared dream.

After a long and strange dream (at one point a dog was insulting me calling me weak, so I grabbed it by the back of the neck and threw it out the window... those damn shit talking dogs), I began to lose my sense of sight and drift out of the dream world. That's when i said to myself: "Looks like I'm about to wake up, I'll just do a DEILD when I'm back in my bed." Then I paused for a bit, and thought: "Wait a second..." I became lucid at that point I started dream spinning, rubbing things around me, feeling the ground and any other method I could think of to help me cement my mind to my dream body; as I could actually feel my physical body lying in bed, so I was very close to waking up and reversing that process wasn't exactly easy. But it still worked and I gained my dream vision back, and began to observe my hands to further stabilize lucidity. Though my hands looked like holograms that were glitching out or something, words fail to describe how they looked... just strange (for those of you who've looked at your hands in a dream, you might now what I mean). I came to the conclusion that looking at my hands wasn't helping because they were just too unstable. I proceeded to practice some simple dream control, then I thought I'd try some simple magic to practice dream control a little bit more. So I looked at my right hand and concentrated on conjuring a fireball, a burst of flames consumed my hand and from the blaze a fireball shot out about six inches from my hand and sank back down to where it levitated about two inches from my hand. I tried to throw it, but when I tried to swing my arm everything slowed down like slow motion or something; the fireball left my hand and was going less then a mile per hour (similar to what you see projectiles do in The Matrix movies).

Looking back I see that when times slows down, it could be a sign of waking up because after everything slowed down my alarm went off.

In last night's dream I was a well-known and famous PI, I was sometimes called both: a "Young Jane Marple" or a female "Sherlock Homes". I was known throughout 3 countries: Canada, U.S.,and the U.K. I was vacationing in Britain (like ALL book detectives I sometimes get involved in mysteries when I am vacationing called "A Bus man's Holiday" or in Tom and Liz's words "We don't find trouble---trouble finds us." ) when I was called at 5:00 in the morning about a body being find in a library in a nearby manor house. I went to the house and the first thing I did was asks "Is the victim man or woman?" One of the people there says "We don't know miss!"and then did the military salute. I looked at the privates and says "woman" . I than asks the doctor "How long has she been dead?" the doctor said: "I don't know Ma'am. I will say maybe 6-9 hours." (military salute). Than I noticed the victim's belly was huge, but not huge in terms of overweight or obese-but in pregnancy. For some reason nobody could figure out how she was killed). I asks "who discovered the body?" a severant girl said "Miss, I discover the body" When I was waiting for the Master & Mrs. to meet me, I noticed a family picture on the well that had 2 girls (twins). The one on the left was who looked like the victim. When the Mrs. looked at the body, she recognize the woman, as a long-lost daughter. The other daughter was away at her boyfriend's place.

Oh, Cruel Dreams! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Originally Posted by Mzzkc

Catching a glimpse of the television, I noticed an intense advertisement for the new season of Arrested Development which, after sending me into fits of joyful mirth, triggered an RC, as I came to realize this news was too good to be true; I cried at my newfound lucidity and took my sorrow out on some shinigami sparring in the driveway.

This morning I experienced sleep paralysis for the first time. That led into what is either a lucid dream or an out of body experience, depending on how one wants to look at it. It started as a normal dream; I was at a friends house and we were playing with our pets. I laid down on the floor and closed my eyes, to rest I guess, not sure. Then I heard this loud mumbling sound in my ear. I thought it was just my friend messing with me, he jokes around like that. I swatted above my head to swat him away but there was nothing there. The noise stopped when I swatted and I think that is when I realized I was dreaming. I just lay there with my eyes closed and before long it happened again, it felt like someone's face was right above my ear making a mummbling sound. When I tried to swat I couldnt move my arm. I recognized this as sleep paralysis and knew what was happening. When a person experiences sleep paralysis they cant move and it is common for them to have hallucinations like mummbling or incoherent talk.

With difficulty I did manage to raise my hand and swat. Again there was nothing and the noise stopped. Again I just lay there and before long that feeling was back but this time there was a panting in my ear like a dog panting. Not only could I hear it, I could also feel the dog's breath on the side of my face. For a second I thought it might actually be my dog but then I decided that was very unlikely because this panting is another common hallucination. I tried to open my eyes but I could only open them up a crack and couldnt see much. When I tried to sit up I felt something pressing down on my back, it felt like the front legs of a large dog. As I continued straining to rise there was a strange and uncomfortable sensation in my back. I think Ive felt that sensation before, maybe when I was under the influence of salvia. With considerable effort I finally managed to sit up, and when I did I saw myself still laying there in my house where I sleep. My body had its eyes open and was looking in my direction but I couldnt tell if it was really looking at me.

With a little more effort I was completely separated from my body. I was elated to be LDing, or something similar, again. I tried flying right there in my house. With a couple of hops I was up and floating next to the ceiling. I flew through straight through a closed window with no problem and I was out and up. I barely cleared the top of a sweetgum tree by my house as I headed south-west. As I cleared the top of the tree I called out "Guru Rinpoche are you here?" because I decided last week that the next time I had a lucid dream I would try to locate this deity. This is the second LD in a row where I have had the presence of mind to pursue a spiritual goal. I saw my dad's tractor and I saw neighbors' houses and other familiar things. It was lovely! There were dark, stormy looking clouds to the west and for a second I felt concerned about lightning but then decided nothing could harm me. After flying just a short distance I started to lose altitude. Through a large force of will I shot up higher into the sky, up into dark clouds where I could see nothing but very dark gray. I wanted to keep the ground in view so I dove down out of the cloud. Once below the clouds I again began to crash and this time came all the way down to the ground in a forced landing. I was in the field west of my house but not as far from the house as I had actually flown. I tried to fly again and this caused me to wake up. When I woke it was 9:30am, about the time I usually get up. In the future when I am forced out of the sky like that Im not going to try flying again, maybe that will make the dream last longer.

Notes:
This sounds like an out of body experience, however there are things that might be taken as evidence to the contrary. Last week I got a hair cut, but this morning when I saw my physical body in the dream it still had long hair. In the dream there were dark storm clouds in the west, but when I woke up and looked outside the sky was clear in all directions. In the dream I saw my dad's tractor in a place it probably wasnt, however its possible I confused this for another tractor that might have actually been in use at that location at the time of the dream because when I woke up there was a man cutting our field. In the dream the sweetgum tree had some red and orange leaves like it does in early autumn, however right now the tree is all green.

The thing pressing me down is an interesting topic itself. People have reported such phenomena for centuries. In the past they usually thought it was a demon or witch. Was it trying to keep me in my body? The noises and panting might have been attempts to wake me? Maybe its just a phenomenon with out purpose?
