lucid

In most of my dreams I normally start in my room or on the hill near my house. However, there are sometimes small differences like a once there were support beams on the hill.

Anyway, one dream I started in my room and walked down the stairs I was more aware of surroundings as I went. I met a girl with dark brown hair I knew somehow she was different, she was not a dream person nor was she another dreamer; she was a spirit. I took her to the kitchen and told her that I was not in spirit form but in dream form and asked her what would happen if anyone found out. She said "they will try to make your life end sooner than it should" and I said " oh, I see" meanwhile thinking that she just confirmed my worst fears. Also when the girl told me the statement she seemed to leave out details as if trying to protect me.

I fell asleep for 11 hours last night and had about three to five dreams. The night before I watched the movie Inception. I dream almost every night but last night I asked myself, am I dreaming and I knew I was because I could fly away from my own body and saw myself standing in my own dream. I even felt like I was dreaming in my own dream because there were so much complications, places and people. I hardly remember the specifics.
That is the reason I'm starting this dream journal for the first time and researching into lucid dreams.

The world is coming to an end, apparently. I'm outside with a couple people (the precise location is actually on a highway I've been on IRL), one of which is my mom, and we're planning an escape to some safe place. It seems that most people haven't realized that a series of huge disasters is about to occur. I look up at the sky, and see a large storm brewing, which will apparently destroy everything (there might also have been an earthquake coming, too).

We've apparently secured a plane, and so we're gathering our stuff as quickly as we can so we can leave. At some point, my mom realizes she forgot something that I apparently wanted, and she seems very sad about it (I think she even cried). I feel really sorry for her, and tell her it's really not that important to me. Eventually, someone (the "leader" of our group of people) announces that we need to leave very soon, and so to finish what we're doing.

We end up on some airstrip, at night, in the pouring rain. The plane has already begun firing up its engines, and so we have to quickly get on. I think the plane was already moving or something, so it was hard to move around. I quickly got on and got strapped in, expecting a rough ride. After that, I don't recall much, except some instants of extreme turbulence, and thinking to myself that I should have just stayed on the ground and died there, instead of dying in a plane crash that was seeming more and more likely.

This was kind of a weird dream. I start out in some kind of underground place that looks like a mix of a small airport, a construction zone, and a sewer system. I'm there with Bruce Willis, and a girl who is supposed to be his daughter. We're apparently trying to escape this class and get back to the surface. We climb a bunch of ladders and walk across several metal walkways, and get to some place where we set down a few backpacks that I guess we were carrying this whole time.

We wait around for a bit, then start noticing something moving in one of the backpacks. We find that really strange, and I reach for the bag and try to feel what's inside. As I set my hand on the backpack, I feel a large, spherical creature, and it starts moving frantically. I recoil, and we carefully open the bag. The creature quickly jumps out -- it's a kind of giant, smooth hairball, and we're all freaked out by it. It's pretty aggressive, but we back off and it eventually goes away. Bruce Willis explains something weird about how it was created by hair that fell in the backpack and rotted.

Eventually, we manage to find our way back to the surface. I walk outside, alone now. There isn't much around, except a dirt road, which I follow. At this point, I somehow realize (I think by looking at an advertising panel?) that all this was actually a commercial for Toyota. I'm a bit angry about this, and just keep walking down the road.



The other day I also had a sort of semi-lucid dream. All I can really remember from it is some sex, and going up to a counter, and asking someone for "polymorph potions," which they gave to me. The liquid was a sort of silvery color.

I had a false awakening. I don't remember why, or how I had it, it seemed to dawn upon me out of nowhere that this is a dream. I was very excited, but then, out of experience, calmed down. After the usual round of stability and clarity exercises, I got up, and crossed the room. For some reason, almost all of my false awakenings occur in my room, and the light are always off. I opened the door. I saw the same old corridor, the same mirror. Another reality check.
While crossing the corridor, I could see foot-long sharp blades protruding from the ground. I laughed to myself. A snap of my fingers, and they vanished to thin air. I continued out of my house, and came to the ground floor. (Note: This was my old house, I moved recently.) What the hell? There were FBI officers all around me, each armed heavily with some serious booty kicking weapons. They didn't speak, nor did they move, but it was clear that I would be toast if I moved a muscle. Here, I forgot I had any supernatural powers. I ran away. Somehow, gravity was much easier to manipulate in this particular dream. I found that I could control gravity very quickly, making it change directions and turn it off or make it stronger in a fraction of a second. As soon as I jumped, the rocket launchers fired. BOOM! A deafening explosion. But I was unhurt.
I continued, walking on walls and roofs, and tried to get out of there, into the open ground. Then, some of the officers actually caught up with me. Instinctively, I jumped off the wall, and roundhouse-kicked one on the back. He fell to the ground, making a large crater there. Then, I continued to fight my way unarmed through the incoming battalion. I don't exactly remember all the moves I did, but I remember that it was pretty epic, even better than the best martial art movie out there. Within a minute, all of them, some two hundred, were on the ground, unable to move. Satisfied, I continued outside.
In real life, there is a large electronics store some three block away from my house. Right in front of it, is a large open area. After exiting my building, I came here, without any idea why. I saw about a dozen people gathered there. I could tell they were all delinquents. They were looking at me in a disconcerting way, which clearly challenged me to a fight. They were wearing Thaub, which is the traditional clothing here.



Talk about unfitting attire. Oh well. I stared at their leader, and made a sudden movement. This was the spark needed. In an instant, ten of them sprang up upon me. I still didn't remember I had lucid powers. Again, I very easily defeated each and every one of them, without the slightest injury inflicted upon me. I forgot, again, the exact moves, but I do remember this one scene. I was in mid-air, right in the middle of a back-flip. I had back flip kicked someone, sending him high into the air. Suddenly, as he reached the zenith of his launch, a sniper bullet pierced him, straight through the heart.. Someone was helping me.
When all of them were defeated, we suddenly found ourselves on a stage, each getting awards for the fight. I remember two of my friends somehow getting the awards, too. The awards were 1 cubic meter aquariums that held a peculiar fish. I remember getting an octopus, while my friends got a tiger that breathed in water and a microscopic crab with mushrooms on his shell. I woke up after that.

NON-LUCID / LUCID / NOTE

My house seems empty, but I can sense the presence of others. I am aware that a game is taking place in which the last man standing is the winner. To eliminate other players, one must engage in a wrestling match and win or throw a crumpled up paper towel and hit an opposing player in a dodgeball-like style. I step out of my room and narrowly avoid a crumpled paper towel. It whizzes past me and down the hallway. I spot a player who is a student at my school who I believe to be a wrestler. I don't know how to wrestle but we begin pushing one another. I run to the kitchen and crumple up a paper towel and I pelt it at his leg and it's a hit. I shake his hand and he departs in a sportsmanlike manner. I become aware that I am one of the last few players remaining. I run downstairs and spot a small hill of crumpled paper towels. I dive into the room while simultaneously grabbing two armfuls of paper towels that I hurl at a group of remaining players who seem to have formed an alliance. I eliminate all but one who is an old friend of mine. We look at each other and smile. I feel confident that I'll win as we shuffle around the room and avoid thrown towels. I finally hit him and win the game. I feel very pleased with my performance and the next thing I know I am outside and aware that I am dreaming. The exact moment when I gained lucidity is unknown, which is quite unusual for me because I often become lucid by RCing or just realizing that I'm dreaming. I cannot recall the precise moment. I begin walking down my street, which is how I begin most of my lucid dreams. My vision is blurred and highly shaky, and I can only make out the gray street and some trees beside me. I stop for a moment in an attempt to stabilize the dream. Things come into focus and a few dream characters appear in front of me. This is also unusual, as I am often alone in my LDs. One character is D, the old friend. Another is J, a girl from my school who I had a crush on a couple years ago. One or two other characters are there as well, and they are ready to take flight. D grabs onto me and J grabs onto D as I lift off from the ground. The other two characters fly independently of me and each other. We fly down streets as I follow the others and D and J are unable to hold on. I stop flying and tell them to hold on tight for the turns. They listen, and I am happy for them to be holding on and experiencing this flight with me. I then test my control and I am able to gain speed and slow down rather well. I then decide to turn on warp speed and leave the other two flyers behind. I am gliding at an insane speed down another street. I live in the suburbs and I take note at how beautiful and realistic the houses appear. I then think to myself how this is all my creation and I promptly wipe out and wake up.

I was sleeping in my dream and I heard T. and P. (Kidnappers 1&2) talking to their "Master" and with the racket they were making they were bowing every second word. "Master" says " the police found two hairs that don't match Adrian's hair and are becoming hot on T &P's trail." The "Master" suggested his in-America castle.

*Next day*
After I was dropped off I hissed to Jane: "How much money did Adrian put in the suitcase. Its imporant." Jane asks: "Why is it so imporant?" I reply: "If it is $30 million the kidnappers will think I am an easy target and ask more money for me." Jane replys: "Its $25 million. Is it true the kidnappers say they were going to realize you and will this come true?" "Yes they were planning to release me but I doubt it will come true. I would inform him about money ransom myself but he is being watched."

I than went to talk about my dreams into movie plot. When there were a couple of hours left I encourage him to talk about his life. He tells me that this isn't the first time he was suspected in a person's disapperance. His parents disappered when he was 18 and their only child was Adrian (the studio belonged to Adrian's dad) and he was away at boarding school at the time of the parents' disapperance. As soon as I knew their was no one watching I says: "Adrian the kidnappers and their 'Master' are planning to move me today to the 'Master's castle. " Adrian says: "They promised to let you guy" I just reply "Whatever you do. Do NOT try to come and save me."

I went back to the house. First the kidnappers had to erase any evidence of anyone been living there. Just before we leave Adrian shows up with a gun at the door. P. who was closest to me grabbs me and threatens my life at gunpoint. Adrian says: "Unhand her./ You promised to let her go...." and P. says: "We lied. And if you want her to live you either get in the car with her or you leave this bulding by the count of 19 or she goes 'bye-bye'. 1.. 2.. 3.. 4... 5... 6... 7...8..9...10" Adrian: "Alright I will leave.".

I am forced in the car I asked what kind of ropes and shackles these are that DC can't be used on them but I can still conjure up a sundae. I am taken to "Master" 's castle. The kidnappers insists I do the 'proper' bow (forced to be on the floor bow). The "Master" (who look like a collection of different human villians) tells his maidseverants to bathe me. He than insitsts that I wear a skimpy outfit (with chains). He than invites Adrian for supper. As I am setting the table for supper I notice the kind of chairs that are at the dinning room table. When it is supper time. I shake my head to tell me not to sit down. He than tricks "Master" into a chair. I with other severants change the chairs to "normal" ones. I learned later the other females were also kidnapped and were jealous that I had someone to try to save me. After I ate supper. I was sent to do some chore and than I came back and heard the Adrian and "Master" settling on 7 Impossible Tasks.

The next day I was tied up and put on a super-fast horse like I was a sack of food and I have no clue if Adrian can get me out of (or off) this task (Task 1). I woke up after this.

Quest for my dream guide part 3 (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I realized I was dreaming in a dream and woke up. I opened my eyes and instead of being in bed in my room I was in a sleeping bag in my back yard. I realized it was a false awakening so I did a noes RC just to check. I immediately rubbed the grass and then my left knee which works to stabilize the dream nearly perfectly every time for me. I got up and walked toward the back door but my hands and feet were numb. I looked at what I was wearing and I was wearing a red shirt and my favorite gray sleeping pants. My arms were numb because I had been trying WILD and they were numb in real life. I usually can move completely fine in my lucids. I got back up and went into the house. My dad was there talking to me but I ignored him. I knew exactly where I needed to go. Through that mirror. I walked up to it and put my finger up to it. After a little bit it started to melt through. I told my dad good bye and forced my head through. I did it to fast though. I lost consciousness of my legs and then the rest of my body. All I could see on the other side was the same gray space but instead of a DC I saw random giant floating computer keys. I faded very quickly and woke up.

I decided after this to take a break from looking for my dream guide. I want to start training some of my dream powers and I need to get the advanced ToTM done sone.

From what i recall ,since i'm new to this, i'm sure i had a lucid dream. I was on a beach that had a highway next to it and behind me was a huge wall of rocks. Me and two of my friends were there and i thought to myself why am i here. This must be a dream. I told my friends in my dreams and i told them we could do whatever we wanted to do. So my first friend laron began to super jump while my other friend was gliding just like from crackdown 2. I did the same and we were gliding across the water to the left of where we started from. I seeemed to be lucid but i was controlling my glide just like i would in the video game. i could see mmy whole body but i could feel my fingers on a controller and doing the motions like in the video game to glide. We kept heading that way until we came to some openings in the rocks and then we could see enemies..... the dream began to fade

I've read that some people are going to be better at getting lucid dreams since they are born with the ability of something. I think i am because i remember having some as children and i knew what i was doing. I just never knew the name for it.

Quest for my dream guide part 2 (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had tried to find my dream guide in my last lucid and didn't get any solid leads though I did learn from a DC that it would not be easy to find them.

I had a FA and new I became lucid using a noes RC. I fell out of bed in the dream and quickly stabilized the dream by feel the floor and my own knee and rubbing my hands together. That combination worked like a charm. I wasn't able to turn on the light which was frustrating so I went strait to the family room. I new I needed to find my dream guide but didn't know where to start. My parents where reading the paper in the kitchen like they always do in my FAs. I passed them to get some yogurt out of the fridge but it transformed and became like 10 feet tall. I opened it and the yogurt was on the very top. I became frustrated so I drank some apple juice instead and it tasted normal. I threw the glass down because I was lucid and I didn't care about it. I went to the computer to try and look for a lead to my dream guide and on it was a free trial of some boring mmorpg set in the 19th century. The first task was to go to some tower so It might be a lead. I got bored with it and went into my family room looking for a picture of a tower to use to teleport with. I passed a mirror we have on the wall and did a double take. I remembered several other people on dream views had used mirrors as portals. I thought my dream guide might be behind the mirror. I dived head first into the mirror but as soon as I got on the other side everything destabilized. Everything on the other side was gray and non descriptor. The only thing I saw was a girl standing and smiling at me. I did a front flip and turned around in the air to keep her in my sight. I couldn't get a good view of her because everything was fading. I landed on my feet right before everything went to black and I wake up.

Lucid at work (MILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

A decent night. I recalled five dreams and I had one (crappy) lucid. It was one of those sem-low-lucidity dreams... but it works to keep up with my goal of one lucid every two days.

Third of the night:

I was in the Olive Oil store. I knew I was dreaming but I had no control at all. I followed the plot of the dream. I guess I was in the edge of lucidity and non lucidity. I was going to open the store and there was already someone inside behind the tasting bar.
The store was different as its for real and I realized that when I entered. The lady was behing the tasting bar and I wanted her to leave. I planned to do something funny but I decided to help her before. I stared at something and woke up.

And here is it. One of my worst lucids... But at least it was a lucid with low quality that goes to the stack of my overall lucids and will help to get even more in the future.

Missed dream signs:
- None.

Dream Signs Noticed:
- None. Already lucid.

What I would have done if I had some decent lucidity:
- Leave the store. Blast the dancers if present and head to a ToTY.

Quest for my dream guide part 1 (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a dream I think it was about peter pan or something and I became tired in the dream so I layed down and closed my eyes and was half way awake when I realized It was a dream. I decided I didn't want to wake up so I used DEILD for the first time to go back into the dream. It was very unstable and wasn't finished filling out. It's like in a video game when the draw range is set to low. I was still laying in the grass so I stood up and stabilized myself but the dream itself was still being slowly created it was pretty cool. I looked at a table that had formed and it was completely covered in random items. Trees started to form and it reminded me again of peter pan. I yelled out "When I turn around my dream guide will be standing behind me." I turned around and there was no one there. Instead there was a purple portal about a foot in diameter floating by a tree. I ran and dived head first into the portal and go through some kind worm whole. I could see geometric patterns making up the walls of it. I wake up for a second and again use DEILD to return to the dream but with much less lucidity

I can't remember exactly what happened in the next half hour or so but I do know I used DEILD again at least twice. The next thing I remember I was in lucid again

Me and my family were walking down a street and I look around for a lead. I saw a man in wearing a weird poofy coat, a fedora, and a Celtic circular shield. I went up to him, letting my family continue on without me, and asked him where he got his clothes from. He told me from the jedi temple. I asked where the jedi temple is and he said he can't tell me. I decided to cut to the chase. I asked him where my dream guide is and he said he can't tell me and that it won't be that easy to find my dream guide. I suddenly got a rush of pictures of people like I'm reading his mind. One picture stuck out. a picture of a red headed girl that only shows one eye and her hair. I grabbed him and was about to punch him and interrogate him but I stooped because hes a good guy. I continued on and pulled out my cell phone and my contacts where all scrambled up. I picked one and called it but it was my sister instead. I told her I got the wrong number and thought to check my compute instead. At least I finished the easy task of the month. Before I could I woke up.

I'm running out of good BEoDs. . .

Close Encounters of the Raptor Kind (DILD)

★★★★☆

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID







Walking down the white paneled hallway, I took in the details around me. Wall mounted heaters with books on top, accented by the occasional bright red fire extinguisher, lined the sides of the school interior. Everything seemed so vivid and clean as I approached a branching hall to my right.

Recalling my Velociraptor nightmares from earlier in the night, I couldn't help hoping a Raptor wasn't waiting for me as I turned the corn--

Oh, shit.

Staring me down, less than 50 meters away, stood a 6ft tall, scaly, killing machine. Screeching, it came at me, giving me only a moment to center myself and reaffirm my lucidity. I reached out my hand, and with a concentrated effort of will I stopped its malicious descent upon me. Yet still, it continued toward me in a slow stride.

As it passed, I moved my hand to its snout and brushed its smooth, cold, reptilian face. All the while, I made sure to keep up my emotional direction and willful suppression of this magnificent creature's blood-lust; a single slip-up and I'd be missing a hand.

Luckily, the Raptor continued on its way, and I was left to revel in the incredibly life-like experience. I doubted the students in the classroom down the hall would make out quite as well as I had. . .

Electrokinesis (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

[/B]I can't remember what I did before this but I can remember being lucid in my room Not fully lucid tough. I didn't think to do my goals or the task of the month. I just had the idea to try electricity bending. (which was not one of my goals) I ripped out my light switch and used the exposed wires to charge myself up with electricity. I could feel the electricity flowing through me and charging me up. I pointed my pointer finger at the wall and shoot a bolt at it. It was really cool so I shot another bolt but this time I hold it and keep adding fingers, each with its own arc. I charged up again and tried my left hand. This time I let the electricity focus in the tips of my finger which gets a ball of energy around it. When I finally unleashed it it let go a large charge that hit a picture and made it go flying. I kept doing this using stronger and stronger bolts and I realized it was causing a recoil. I don't want that because its my dream and I don't want it could mess up my aim. I thought I should focus on not having recoil. I thought of trying fire bending but decided I would try electricity some more. I didn't remember that pyrokinesis was the ToTM. Before I can do anything I wake up.

The bolts reminded me a lot of Cole's electricity in Infamous except these ones where yellow.

Lucid Building Jumping (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had watched the first half of the Matrix 1 the night befor. I woke up at 6:00 am with hardly any dream recal. I tried to WILD but was to tired and just fell asleep. I think I get alot beter DILDs after trying to WILD so I gues there more MILDs idk. There was alot of dream consisting of me playing voley ball and then trying to sleep on a slide until Perry that platapus stole my pillow but I don't know if it was befor I woke up at 6:00 or transitioned into this dream but I will consider it a seprate dream and a boring one not worth wrighting.

I was on the swing in my backyard with my neice on the swing beside me, my twin sister in the yard, my mom and my older sister talking, siting in chairs and my nephue swiming in the pool. I thought to do a reality check so I pinched my noes and could only breath through a little bit. (this seems to happen often, it has cost me a lot of chances to be lucid because I think I'm just not pinching my noes all the way.) I tried again and I could breath normaly! I looked at my hand and it looked as normal as can be. I looked closer at the back of my hands and the hairs look abnormaly large but only just noticable. I jumped and fell normaly but kept doing it untill I could jump much higher. like 15 feet. I told my family I was dreaming and luckily they belived me this time except for my older sister, she refused to belive it. I didnt try to convince her because of what happend last time so I tried to do telekenesis on a stick and had quite a bit of control. I wanted to try it on something heavier and see if I could do it on a DC so I levitat my nephue out of the pool. He was scared for a second but then thought its really cool. I jumped and flew up like superman but lost control and dived head first into the pool. I got out and jumped onto the large unbreala that is on our patio. The fabric broke under my wait and everyone became sad so I jumped down, held the unbrela strait with telekenesis and reversed time on it to fix it. I thought I would try some of my goals and the first thing that cames to mind is the scene from the matrix where Morphius tests Neo to see if he can jump from one building to the next. Pluss If I fell I could complete the tast of the month which was to skydive without a parashoot. I thought I needed to go to a tall building so I tried to teleport using the spining method. I spun around and imagine the building but nothing changed. I did it over and over again but still nothing. I jumped onto my roof and then pushed off and flew up about 200 feet and landed on top of a skyscraper that apeared in front of my house. I couldn't see anything because of fog so I jumped away from the building and a city apeared. I landed on a building but there were no suitable buildings to jump to so I kept jumping to a higher and higher building. Everything faded befor I could stabilize and was never able to reenact te scene.

May 5 2010

My first lucid (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I woke up at 3:00. I try WILD although I prefer to MILD but would like to know both. I fall asleep into a false awakening. I woke up in bed. Everything seemed as real and normal as always. I looked at a piece of paper that is on my night stand that has a leter 9 on it. I thought I might as well do some reality checks. I tried telekinesis on something. it didin't work. I look at the 9. I put my hand over it and imagined it as a 3. I took my hand off it and it was a 3! I switched it back and forth to make shure. I realised I must be dreaming. I didn't become excited, my subconsious wouldn't alow it because of the autosugestions I did. I finaly did it, I became lucid. I jumped out of bed and ran into the family room. My parents were in the kitchen like they always are in the morning. I knew they were DCs. I told them Im lucid dreaming. They denied it like I new they would in a dream. It made me sad that they wouldn't listen to me, my emotions amplified by the dream. I realy wanted to show them I'm dreaming. I tried telekinesis on the lego socker ball that I first used TK on in a non-lucid dream. It worked! I showed my parents but they don't realise its weird. It got harder to control the ball and I realised I better not wake myself up by doing something to dificult. I jumped into the family room as hard as I could and could float myself around the room in zero gravity. I held myself upside down on the ceiling. It felt realy familiar. Like I did it when I was a little kid or something. I must have had a non-lucid like this when I was little. I floated back down and I woke up. I thought man that was my first lucid but it was realy short. I still didn't get excited. "Maby this is a false awakening I might as well check." I thought. I did RCs and I realised I was still dreaming. I went back to the family room and my twin sister came down stairs. I tried to show her im dreaming but she was even worse than my parents. She looked at me like I'm crazy and went back up stairs. I yelled something at her that I can't remember. I looked above the door way and in flashing letters what I yelled at her is spelled out. "Stop being wierd, dream" I yelled in order to keep the dream from wandering. I realised I was wasting time and needed to get some goals done and go on an adventure. I can't go outside without a weapon, I might get jumped by zombies so I ran to my room and went to my closet. I imagined an uzi there and reached in but there was nothing there. I wasn't confident enough. My mom walked in the room and was being distracting and would not accept that I was dreaming. The dream started to destabilize. I didn't have time to get a weapon so I ran down the hallway. I almost reached the front door but everything got fuzzy. I tried to rub my hands together to bring back the vividness but it was to late. I could already feel my real hands, paralised were I left them. I slowly transitioned from lucid to real life. I let it happen because I wanted to right my dream down in my dream journal. I took off my sleeping mask I was trying for tonight. I did it! I knew it was not another false awakening because I could feel the excitment rush over me this time. The fact I couldn't get excited during the dream took something away from the experience but it was worth it to have such a long fairly vivid first lucid dream.
