lucid

Note: This night was a really strange one… I fell asleep and was successful in entering my WILD, and then I proceeded to have what felt like a really long lucid with at least one instance of time dilation only to wake up and find out I had only been asleep for an hour! So I took notes on the dream and then went back to sleep, and for the rest of the night I didn't remember a single thing! Not even a piece of a non-lucid! That makes this one of the strangest nights of dreams I have ever had.

So I went to sleep with a list of goals starting off with taking MoSh and Asuka to Voyager to see Tuvok, who will hopefully be able to help Asuka with controlling her emotions and energy to prevent her from losing control as happened in an unfortunate incident quite a while back. That is the incident that made her not want to fight due to fear of losing control again. In addition to that, I wanted to complete the advanced task of the month, which looked like it was going to be easy this month, and share a dream with Tigress where we both remember, either one in a DDO world or now we've added Oblivion to the list of game worlds we would both like to visit. With this list of goals in mind I used my light / sound machine to slip directly into a WILD…

Due to my goal that I had in mind, I entered the dream state right outside of MoSh's house in his inner world as has happened in countless dreams before this one. And just like those dreams, I went over to the house and knocked, the door was opened immediately as if MoSh had been waiting for me to come, which he very likely was. We didn't take the time to go inside, instead MoSh and Asuka came outside, all ready to go. I was going to open a portal to take us to Voyager, then Q showed up and said he had found the perfect Voyager for us to visit, but it would be a good idea to approach the ship in MoSh's Delta Flyer due to some issues with this particular Janeway that could pose a problem if we just popped in through a portal. So I still opened a portal, I just changed the destination from Voyager to the landing bay of the tower on the moon.

MoSh, Asuka, Q, and I emerged into the landing bay and headed directly for MoSh's Delta Flyer, which had the entry hatch opened when we got there. MoSh, Asuka, and I got into the Delta Flyer, but Q said he would get things set up for our arrival on Voyager, then he disappeared in a flash of white light. MoSh piloted the Delta Flyer out of the landing bay and away from the biodome, heading into deep space. There was a wormhole not far past the moon, which was clearly left by Q for us to go through to find the Voyager he had been talking about, so MoSh piloted the Delta Flyer through the worm hole and exited in the blackness of space where we were surrounded by only stars. MoSh was already scanning the area for Voyager and soon changed course to approach our destination, the starship was soon in view through the front window of the ship, looking huge compared to our shuttle.

The communications system came to life as Voyager hailed us, an image of Captain Janeway appeared on the screen, she was on the bridge of Voyager surrounded by her crew, which included Tuvok, and Q was also there. Janeway was talking to Tuvok in a quiet voice, apparently not wanting anyone to hear, but the sensitive systems on the modified Delta Flyer picked up what she said, and so did Q's ears. Janeway was telling Tuvok that she still didn't trust Q, and even if the woman Q spoke of was completely innocent there was no way of knowing for sure he wasn't using her as part of a scheme of his…

"You wound me," Q said to Janeway as he stepped up right beside her, "To say those things after all we have meant to each other, it is like a knife in my chest."

"Then allow me to twist it a bit," Janeway said coldly, "You never meant anything to me, and I know I never meant anything to you beyond your twisted scheme. If it wasn't for the fact I sense truth in your tale of this young woman needing help I'd have you thrown right off of my ship."

Q looked around a bit, "Thrown off?" he asked as if amused, "By who? No one here could make me leave if I don't want to go. And that is fine that you want to keep our past love a secret, I will speak no more of it." Q smiled at Janeway.

"There was no love!" Janeway said, sounding frustrated.

"As you say," Q responded with a knowing wink in Janeway's direction, "It's our little secret."

"There is no secret!" Janeway insisted, "There was no relationship, no affair, no love, no nothing!"

"As you say, Captain," Q said with another knowing wink.

"Grrr!" Janeway was perturbed, "Dealing with you is so aggravating!" Then she decided to completely ignore Q, speaking to us instead, she said we were cleared to land in the landing bay, she said it rather abruptly since she was clearly in a bad mood. I telepathically and sarcastically thanked Q for giving us a pissed off Janeway to deal with. Q said he had to keep the role of Q or it would seem suspicious, and in that dimension Q always pisses Janeway off. Q said that in that dimension he and Janeway had been together briefly, but it was because Janeway had gotten stung by an insect that produces a powerful aphrodisiac that made her fall for the next man she saw (or woman if she had been a lesbian) and that man was Q… at which point she threw herself at a surprised Q and said she was in love with him, but since she was cured any mention of that incident pisses her off and it is such a Q like thing to bring it up just for that reason. Q added he hadn't been in love with Janeway, but he had wanted to keep an eye on her so nothing would happen to her while she was in that state. By the time Q finished his history lesson we had landed in the docking bay of Voyager.

Our surroundings instantly changed before we could even get out of the Delta Flyer as Q teleported us straight to the bridge, the first thing I noticed was the dirty look Janeway was still giving Q. Janeway then made an apparent effort to stop being so angry before turning to greet us and asking which of these two young ladies was the one in need of Tuvok's assistance. MoSh indicated it was Asuka, I was looking around the bridge at the time, it looked somewhat familiar from previous visits to Voyager and similar ships and from the television series, and yet there were subtle differences that were hard to identify that still made it seem unique.

Asuka went over to talk to Tuvok, the Vulcan stood up to greet her as she approached him, greeting her with the usual Vulcan hand gesture which Asuka failed to emulate until she actually held her fingers in the proper position with her other hand. Tuvok paid no attention to that, he just continued speaking to her. I didn't hear all of what they were saying, but I did hear Tuvok ask Asuka if she would allow him to do a Vulcan mind meld, as it would greatly assist him in helping her if he could see where her problems originated. Asuka seemed a bit hesitant, she looked over at MoSh, saying something about being ashamed and not wanting Tuvok to see, too many people know about what happened already… Tuvok mentioned that in 93.765% of cases he had been involved in or had witnessed, a human hiding from a shameful event turned out to be the only one who was passing such an unreasonably harsh judgment on themselves. Asuka hesitated, MoSh told her that just meant that the only one passing judgment on her was herself. Tuvok merely said that was correct, but if she wished to continue without the mind meld, he would still try to aid her, but it would be much more difficult. Asuka finally agreed to it.

I was thinking there were other things I needed to get done in this dream, for some reason I was feeling quite rushed as if I had to be somewhere right now, I couldn't remember any appointments or anything time based… check the biodome to see if anyone was looking for me there, do the task of the month to ride a unicorn and see if Walms was in my inner world, then share a DDO or Oblivion dream with Tigress and hope we both remembered. Tuvok finished his mind meld and said that he would definitely be able to assist Asuka with control. Asuka seemed happy to hear that. I told MoSh that I had other dream goals tonight, so if he didn't mind, he and Asuka could stay here on Voyager with Tuvok, and when MoSh wakes up he returns home automatically, Q could take Asuka home if needed… he said to go ahead, he and Asuka would be fine there. I smiled and opened a portal back to the biodome.

I exited the portal right next to the koi pond, which was where I had expected to emerge, I looked around and saw I was alone. There was no one waiting there right now. Maybe I should wait around for a bit? I felt the dream slipping… I was going to wake up… but there was so much left to do. I also wanted to see how long I could make this dream. I focused on Allura's method of time dilation, and the slipping dream stabilized.

Note: Due to the length of this dream, I will continue it in the next post.

Hello everyone! I am new here. I decided to begin posting my dreams after I had my first lucid dream that I have had in a year or two. I think this may have been triggered by the fact that my friends and I were talking about it and my friend suggested that I preform frequent reality checks.

The dream started out non-lucid. I was in a dimly lit room sitting in a chair facing an old man and an empty wooden kitchen chair. The man had a box of old vinyl records and I got up to take a look at them. I asked if I could sit in the kitchen chair and he said something along the lines of, "no, I like to keep that chair open for my wife."

I asked him, "where is your wife?" He pointed to my right and I looked. A wave of panic and fear spread over me as I saw a semi rotted-out corpse hanging by a noose. The scene quickly became more nightmarish and I frantically tried to wake myself up.

This is where the dream became lucid. It had seemed that my efforts to wake myself up had worked as I could now see my ceiling. However something was not quite right: instead of laying flat on my bed, I was diagonal to my bed and my legs were actually going through the mattress. With lucid dreaming in mind, I flew up through the ceiling into another room.

This was the same room that I was in with the old man but now, the room was filled with clones of my high school spanish teacher. I began thinking about all the crazy stuff I was going to do in my lucid dream. I believe the environment was about to change when my cat jumped up on my chest and woke me up! As you can imagine I was pretty bummed.

That dream was two nights ago and I tried to replicate it again yesterday to no avail. I intend to try again tonight. Hopefully I will have more entertaining lucid dream stories for you soon. I have been keeping a dream journal for a while now and I might start posting those.

[size=18]Date uknown - Aspects of the OBE


I had this dream a couple years back but thought it would provide some informations regarding Lucids/OBE's. I was in my room falling asleep, when I opened my eyes my room appeared odd at that moment I was lucid. I started spinning above my bed to transform scenes but instead I started spinning but moving upwards towards the ceiling. I went through the ceiling and I saw nothing but black. A few seconds later the black became light and I was on the ceiling of my sisters bedroom (floating above them). I tried whispering to her to she if she would wake up but she didnt respond. I then returned back through the blackness only to wake up. I followed up with my sister the next day to see if she could recall any dreams about me but she didnt. I told her I was floating above your room in a lucid dream.

04/17/05 - Room Acrobatics - Apr 17, 2005</span>

I was playing my lucid induction CD at 4 AM. I went lucid via (DILD) and noticed I was in my room. I was doing acrobats in slow motion (due to I knew I was dreaming). I was doing flips, twist and other complexe sumersaults you would see in the floor olympics. But when I do these, it\'s always in slow motion, like there is no gravity. I can still here the Induction CD in the background, I don\'t loose touch with the sound. I spun myself into a new scene, where it was beautiful outside, I remembering wanting to get out of my room. Once I arrived, I remeber that I couldnt hold on to the visuals, I was waking up.

Additional comments:

<span style="color:darkblue">This is the second time I didnt loose the sound of the CD. This proves to be very affective in holding on to Lucidity from one image to the next. It was unfortunate that I was waking up.

03/30/05 - A historical spirt guide - Lucid - Mar 31, 2005</span>

Well I started playing the Lucid Induction CD around 3 AM this morning and probably about 30 minutes later I walked right into a lucid (WILD). One interesting note, I heard the CD through the entire lucid dream. I\'ve never done that before.

I was outside with my wife and I didn\'t recognize where we were although everything was vibrant and pretty and definitely looked dream like. I started telling my wife, "honey, we are in a lucid dream, this is what I have been telling you about!" She didn\'t pay much attention to what I was saying. I thought possibly we could have been dream sharing but she\'s never had a lucid before. (I asked her the next morning if she remembered any dreams about me, she said no.) Once I realized I was dreaming, I ask for a spirit guide (as I usually do); I saw a man who was dressed from the 1700 - 1800\'s. His name
was LoHan and was looked like he was at least part Asian. He had dark hair, dark eyes, moustache and tone skin. I asked if he was a spirit guide that I met before (because I believe they change shape/appearance as they wish), he said No. He said he worked (past life) with my father and they were part of security for the Declaration of Independence. I was pretty impressed. If I made this up from my subconscious I don\'t know where it came from. Thinking my Dad (who has passed now) was part of the
protection of the Declaration of Independence in another life. I didn\'t know there was any sort of security group for the document but maybe there was. I provided text below, read the Early Travels of the document, it did move quite a bit but it didn\'t say who really traveled with it or protected it. But it as highly guarded apparently. The rest of the lucid my wife told me to show everyone how I could fly. Of course being the show-off, I flew for what seemed like 10 minutes or so. I had several false awakenings.

Additonal Comments:

<span style="color:darkblue">I didnt post the Early Travels of the document here but you can read it on my other dream journal.

03/29/05 - Flying the ECHO - Lucid - Mar 30, 2005

Well I woke my self up around 2:00 AM and read "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" for about an hour. I then went back to bed at 3:00 and played my Lucid Induction CD continuously (until 6 AM). All of the sudden I was in my old car (Toyota Echo), I now have a Honda CRV. This immediately aid "Dream" to me. I remember popping out a purple cassette from the player, this tape wasn't mine and I didn't recognize it. Again, this is a dream. So I slowly pulled up on the steering wheel and hit the accelerator and the car started flying (like something from Starwars) or any other future epic. For a second it started spinning out of control, but I was letting it do that and it was not too dizzying;
but I brought it back under control. Eventually I landed it, and started to explore this near by BAR. I started eyeballing these weird people there thinking, "Man, this is my imagination creating these wierdos!"

Another Long Lucid - Sunday Night 08/20/05 - Mar 21, 2005</span>

Well I was able to hold what I think to be an hour long lucid again. I entered this about 3:30 to 4:00 this morning. These are very exhilarating and tiring when you wake up at the same time. When I say tiring, it must feel like when a Psychic\'s mind has been working for a while. But it was also like I was on a long vacation as well. The good definitely takes over the bad. It was like being on Ecstasy when I woke up this morning and driving to work. I\'ve only done this twice (as far as having what I timed to be an hour) or so of lucid dreaming. I used the rubbing hands technique (which works for me) to keep it going for so long.

First scene was lucid but on a weak level. There was an intruder trying to get into our house, I knew it was dream and I wasn\'t scared. I went outside and thought I would Kung-fu-Matrix his ass just for fun. (I actually snapped my fingers to play some Matrix Techno and it didn\'t work) I didn\'t feel total control like I did with normal lucids! I started practicing some kung-fu move (or something like) but I was sluggish. The guy approached me, but we never fought. It must have been my mind saying you\'re not ready.

Next Scene took place around a very industrial setting, almost like a Navy ship. I know because I was in the Navy and spent 4 years on an aircraft carrier. This was a bit fuzzy but I remember showing these guys I could move things with my mind. I was shooting these steel barrels out of the upper deck. I have a feeling that I was protecting us from something while I was doing that but I\'m not sure what it was.

The scene continued on the Ship, here\'s an interesting note. I remember getting on the ship took several complex passage ways, steps & tunnels. I must have done this process at least 5 times and each time you would think this maze or process would have changed. It didn\'t which is interesting for a dream, usually it\'s completely unstable. The way to get on the ship was the same every time, and I feel I could have done it with my eyes close. I ended up in a lounge with some people, I remember to look for my spirit guide (I call her Clashonda) I saw a young white girl (which originally my spirit guide
appeared to me as African American) and asked what her name was. My spirit guide has appeared in other faces so I wanted to make sure it wasn\'t her. It wasn\'t, there was a bunch of people around me talking about what ever, but they all knew I was waiting on my guide.

Still in the lounge, a cute girl gave me the eye. In my mind I thought it was let\'s go fool around! So I left the lounge and started following her through a complex passage way, I eventually lost her and the corridors and passage ways were getting smaller. It got to a point where I got stuck. Since I knew I was dreaming, I concentrated and broke through the steel like it was paper.

I remember a beautiful beach scene where I was flying with someone else across the beach. It was so pretty outside, blue water, blue sky and nice cool breeze. This part of the dream really felt like a vacation. Everyone on the beach was amazed on how we were flying back and forth. It was so fun, I had a blast and I didn\'t wake up with a sunburn! The last scene we were waiting outside some building I was doing slow motion acrobats, like flipping and spinning in the air but very slow. Everyone was looking at me amazed and they were saying how in the world does he do that. I told that them yeah this is great and all but unfortunately I\'m eventually going to wake up! And sure enough I did wake up about 5:30 AM. It felt like I was on a mini vacation and just returned.

<span style="color:darkblue">The long lucids take allot out of you but they are completely amazing. I woke up and felt like my mind had been busy all night.

Second Meeting with Spirit Guide - Lucid - Feb 5, 2005</span>

Dream started off by; I noticed I was in a field, I didnt recognize this place and instantly realized it was a dream. So I started looking again for my spirit guide. I passed by this pretty woman with dark hair and dark eyes, for a second I thought SEX! But then I said no, no this is not the reason I am here. I kept walking passed her but then the eyes seemed very familiar. Even though my spirit guide appeared to me before as an African American woman, I still felt the presence and familiarity with this woman and knew it was her. I said "...it is you, there you are!" She smiled like she knew she had been found. I
think she was testing me I really do.

The scene changed and were inside some building, not sure where. I felt like this entire lucid dream, which I will not cover because its too long; took place in Mexico (or somewhere similiar (adobe homes). Anyway I asked her If we knew each other on Earth at one time or another. She said "No" and that she was assigned to me since day one. And she knew that when I was born, she felt it and knew that she was going to be my spirit guide. Since in real life my wife and I are about to have a child, I asked her what the SEX would be since we dont know yet. Time is running out for me to test them because we find out next week. She gave me something cryptic back like "Stand and Deliver" a pun intended I imagine. I said "I\'m not testing you..oh wait, I am." She just gave me this grin like "dont try it!" I remember her sitting on my lap and I hugged her and felt very comfortable with her like the last time.

Additional Comments:

<span style="color:darkblue">I\'m curious to find out how many times she or they are going to show themselves with different Identities. So far I\'ve seen her with 3 different looks. When we started talking this time, she appeared much younger, still dark eyes and dark short hair.

Meeting with Spirit Guide - Lucid - Jan 31, 2005 </span>

At the end of the night (early morning) I had 3 or 4 short lucid dreams, it was where I noticed a scene was a dream went lucid for a bit, woke up went back into the next dream; was lucid woke up etc. I did that like 3 times at least. In one attempt I spun my self to a new scene, it was outside, blue sky nice breeze near some sort of monumental building (reminded me of the captial). I called for my deceased ather again but he didnt show up; (lately I\'ve had a hardtime getting a hold of him from the other ide). I was really bummed and started crying (I woke my wife up she told me the next morning). For a econd this person walks by who looks just like my dad but when I get a second look its not him.

I woke up again but the next dream I thought, since I\'ve havent spoke to my dad in a while, let me finally try to meet my spirit guide. So I entered a dream where I was laying in bed It didnt look like my room so I knew I was dreaming. I got out of bed and went through a long changes of hall ways, passages etc. I had to keep rubbing my hands together to keep the lucidity it was such a long walk and journey. Finally I come to a room where all these people are, I dont know if they are deceased or what but they are having some sort of get together. Finally there a 3 women before me, only one really paid
attention to me out of the group. She is an african american with long braids. She didnt look like from this time period, but she could have been. She looked very spirtual although, I could tell.

She looks at me and says "how did you find me?" I said I\'m communicating to you from a lucid dream!. She said laughed and said "oh...hahah your one of those (giggle). I laughed too and said "It\'s finally nice to meet you!" She said "well it\'s nice to meet you too" At that time the other two women that were with her had their own thing going on, carrying on about. So I decided that I had bugged her long enough. I think, for a short time continued to explore that area but ended up letting go of the lucidity.

Additional Comments:

<span style="color:darkblue">Although your deceased one may be busy on the other side, I feel our spirit guides usually can spend some time wtih us! Just call out to them!

OBE - Card Test Failed - Jan 28, 2005</span>

I\'ve always been interested in the phenomenon of remote viewing, OBE & of course Lucidity. The other night I had a dream that I was at a party with good friends of mine all who I knew from back in the days. Well as I start to notice; it\'s all guys no girls and I realize that all of my friends were now gay? So, being really tripped out about this I woke up really fast.

As I started to drift back to sleep I set intention to go lucid but enter the same dream. I thought if I could enter Lucidly I could do a trick and spin myself out of there and impress everyone. I entered the same house and the same people were there, I was lucid because the image came immediately. I told everyone to gather around that I was going to do a trick. I laid on the bed and started to lift up over the bed about 1ft and started spinning. As I started spinning their voices started fading and my vision turned dark. The point of this experiment was to Project back to my bedroom and view a psychic card I
placed high on a shelf so I could see what this was. This really was there in the physical world because I did set this test up in my room for the next time I went Lucid. I ended up in something that looked like my room but not exactly. I floated to the top of the shelf and tried to view the card. It didnt look like anything from my cabinet. As I looked around, it didnt look like my room either. I concentrated harder nd said Increase Lucidity now, Increase Clarity now! Went back to the top of the shelf again, not the ight place.

Additional Comments:

<span style="color:darkblue">Although a very successful Lucid, the physical test of trying to view realtime objects was a failure.

Stephen LaBerge at the lucidty Institue states: "A comparison of their reports with the actual contents of the target room revealed, in all but a few cases, absolutely no indication of any correspondence whatsoever. In other words, in the great majority of these cases, there was no evidence supporting accurate OBE perception, nor for the validity of the subjects\' convictions that they had actually left their bodies."

Friend from the Service - Lucid - Jan 25, 2005</span>

I was helping some friend that I knew from when I was in the service (even though I didnt recognize him, not sure who he was). Help? I was actually assiting him personally carry drugs (like I was drug smuggler); I remember being nervous transporting them to his house. Once I get to his house his wife, who was supposedly my friend got real friendly with me. I remember being close to her by the freezer, then all of the sudden she secretly pulled out one of her breast from her top. I started realizing this would never happen; at that moment I became lucid. I didnt know him or her and figured this would never happen. Since I was lucid, yes I took advantage and let her lead me into the bedroom and of course knowing I could I had sex with her.

It was great of course but eventually more people started entering the room and I remembered that I didnt want to be there anymore before things got to wierd. I mean I can leave it\'s my dream. So I told everyone I was going to the "blueroom" and I was going to spin myself into that new dream scene. Note: for me the "blueroom" is a place I try to project to so I can talk to deceased loved one. I started pinning but thier voices were not fading. I continued to spin until I drop to the floor and fell asleep. The roblem here was that I wasnt talking to myself and telling myself "I\'m spinning in a dream" usually
this will produce a new scene. Instead when I dropped to the floor and fell asleep in my dream. Of course not testing my reality when I woke up; I still saw these same people sitting around; it was like a woke up from a nights sleep. Well this was obviously a false awakening. I asked them what happen to the blueroom and they all said "there is no blueroom!" What a bummer I thought!

Additional Comments:
<span style="color:darkblue">Remember; always tell your self "your spinning in a dream" to expect the next scene. Don\'t let yourself fall asleep back in your dream it usually leads to a false awakening!

Bravo? - Lucid - 1/5
Walked around telling dream characters how lucid I am and I'm dreaming right now... Yep. I remember holding a "My Magic Diary" that I was chatting to Naiya about last night. It, apparently, was my proof of lucidity.



Woke up at 5am for my WILD. Failed, because I was so tired I passed out.

The half-way house (work dream)
I had to do a shift at an old site of mine (a halfway house).

I got on site and forgot to check in with the staff. I went into "my room" and started watching TV. A couple of the clients were in there with me.

I needed to change into pajamas for some reason. I took my pants off and realized the guys were still in the room. I didn't move further, they got bored of me and left.

I decided to do a patrol and I realized I haven't checked in yet! I looked at my watch. 9:37 at night. Here's where it's confusing. Earlier, I thought my shift was supposed to be 6p-6a, but at this point, I thought it was 10-6. So I wasn't actually late. Anyways, I went down to the staff room and the girl was on the phone. I apologized for forgetting to check in, I just wanted to jump right into my work. She mentioned she was worried I hadn't shown and she was just trying to find shift coverage, but it's all cool.

Back to bed...

Haunted or scientific?
I was in a room in an old house. It wasn't any house of ours and I knew that, but I was impressed that the layout of the furniture was the same as an old room of mine.

I thought the room was haunted. I had this stuffed animal in hand and there was this weird air current over the bed. It was hard finding the balance, but I got the stuffed animal to hover on its own in mid-air. I left the room to get mum and brought her back to show her.

We got back in the room, and the stuffed animal had fallen over. I was disappointed but I attempted to set the animal back up. My mum explained the air current was coming from somewhere and that it wasn't haunted.

Got woke up by Jack's alarm...

FF7 like adventure
There was a DC boyfriend (we'll call him Colton). This theme carried throughout the dream. Just lots of kissy-face and flirting when we were in scenes together. But I can't remember tons of specifics about them.

A group needed to go into the depths of the earth to defeat the last boss (think FF7 where you keep having to travel downwards into the earth to fight Sephiroth). This group included Colton, but not me for some reason.

There was this big hole with light shining up in the middle of a room. They jumped down the hole, and I got to work on some scrolls at a table in the room. I wrote an incantation on the paper. Then I placed my hands on it and imbued it with light energy. I made up about 10 of them when the party jumped back up the hole. I imagined that someone in the party could toss the scroll in the air and they would be showered with golden healing light as the scroll dissolved.

The party emerged from the hole, looking defeated. One of the girls was nearly in tears, because this boss was very difficult.

"Hey, we're gonna need some scrolls," Colton says.

"Got them all ready for you!" I grinned.

My first lucid dream since I've been studying them ...

I was on holiday with my dad and we were looking around shops which were shut (it must have been Sunday). He had booked a trip on a speedboat but the place he booked it was also shut so he couldn't go.
I kept going over this wall which was to tall to climb back over so every time I would have to take this route down alleys and through gardens to get back to him. The last time I went round I was nearly there and noticed a figure sat in the corner.
I turned around to see an old woman who gave me some kind of warning or threat just before a dog ran out and grabbed hold of my arm!

With a jolt the scene changed. I was on a large plain with lots of trees. The trees were falling and being uprooted then floating together to form gigantic spiders maybe a hundred foot high which were walking across the plain. I felt in no threat and was amazed by the scene.

I woke up and found I couldn't move. Straight away I thought 'oh, this is sleep paralysis. I've read about this and don't have to worry'. Then I noticed in the room was a spider which was about the size of a dog. I was scared and started to panic but knew straight away that this was a false awakening so I started waking myself up.

I was beginning to wake when it hit me that I was lucid and this is what I had been trying for so I stopped and spun into a different scene.

I was in a town at night and no-one was about. I was flying close to the ground and there seemed to be no colour except I was leaving a trail of red and black which was pixelated like a video game. I stopped and stood in the city square doing reality checks with both my watch and my hands. My hands were fuzzy and hard to see but it looked like I had the correct amount of fingers so I looked away - I didn't want to think I wasn't dreaming.
I checked my watch and could not read it. I looked away and checked again and found it to be the same unreadable state and convinced myself it was a dream.

I looked around at tall buildings, trying to decide what to do next. I was thinking about making them fall down when I noticed three women. I walked up to them and talked to one I recognised and said we'd go back to her place.
To get to her flat we had to walk up lots of flights of black stairs and I made a joke to her about them. Going inside her flat I saw a human skull on a bookshelf and asked if it was real - she said no.

So, we started getting down to business (ahem) and I was thinking 'I better not get too excited because I might wake up' and I noticed strange letters on her body. Other things seemed odd and it wasn't going right. This is when I lost lucidity ... then we became part of a sort of reality show where people were commenting on our relationship and where we were going wrong. It changed to another time with me preparing her a meal and soon after I woke up.

My very first moments of lucidity in dreamland. Before I went to sleep I repeated to myself, "I'm dreaming." A couple of dreams later, one of my dream characters told me, "You're dreaming!" He said it twice and then I gasped and said, "I'm dreaming!" at which point I had a strange rushing feeling and everything went blank. I was waking up so quickly and I was so taken by surprise I didn't think to spin. When fully awake I almost didn't believe it had happened.

I started my dream log on the 25th of July, so it's been just over a week from my decision to lucid dream to my first successful experience. Considering that I've never had a lucid dream before, even by accident, I consider this enormously encouraging. Thanks, fellow dreamers, for your support.

Lucid: Hell yeah!
Dream Aids: None
Vividness: Above average, but could be better

Lucidity

I was in a huge city that I now believe to be a representation of New York, and something about the context rang funny to me. I did a reality check and quickly became lucid. I wish I could remember more about what exactly made me lucid. I think it occurred after a WBTB so its very possible I was just far more aware than usual.

Upon discovering my lucidity I began to ground myself in the dream by taking in my surroundings and feeling whatever I could. I seem to have gotten the hang of calming down and remembering to stabilize in a lucid dream, though my stabilization technique still probably needs some work. I should try the shouting CLARITY trick sometime soon, as this one wasn't incredibly vivid.

There was unfortunately no time for any of that though, as all I was able to do in this lucid was walk down the street a bit stabilizing before a call on my cell phone woke me up. Unfortunate, but I'm still ecstatic at the fact I've had two lucid dreams in a week now. That's not happened to me before.
