lucid

when the dream started i was playing around in a big monastery with my friend who i really didn't recognize, he hade a shaved haircut and he must have been around 30 years old. we were running around the different levels of the monastery witch was quite run down so many of the stairs and such were missing, witch only made great obstacles for playing around on. after a while my friend fell down to the first floor and i jumped after him. it didn't hurt us in any way so i realized it was some kind of a dream. as soon as i realized this the monastery started to collapse, big chunks of rock and stair and monks where falling down all over the place and i ran out as fast as i could. i ran out through the entrance but as soon as i passed the there was a metal gate that closed behind me and my friend was trapped the whole monastery was about to collapse upon him. And then i realized i could teleport him out of the monastery so i decided to try and teleport him out, it was hard and i didn't think it was going to work but it did. My friend didn't understand what had happened bud he was very greateful anmd he thanked me. we where out on a field so proceeded to fly around at first it was awesome but then it went waaaay to fast and i almost crashed into the mast of a pirate ship witch was stranded in the middle of the field like a beached whale. I flew back to my friend and told him about the situation and that i was dreaming lucidly. He understood and the first thing he tried to do was to start flying, he flew away and seemed to have speed problems aswell. I thought about it alittle and then i suddemly saw thre colours flash in my mind. The task of the month ! so i tried summoning something green and it was a book, i started reading it but it was going to slowly so i super-read it it was like sucking the information out from the book. then i tried something red and i was hungry at the same time so it was a big bowl of pasta and tomato sauce, witch i shared with my friend who had recently landed. when i tried to summon something blue it just wouldnt happen and i got frustrated so i started flying again. it was still way to fast so i enabled a menu of some kind and i pulled a flight speed slider to 50% instead of 150%. It sure made a difference, now i was flying really slowly and it had some kind of an anti-gravity feel to it, witch really was fine and all but it was still hard to controll but not as dangerous as flying waaay to fast. i landed on the pirate ships lookout tower and looked around i saw my friend but nothing else. so i jumped down on the deck and my friend joined me, i wanted to play alittle with my powers so i tried morphing my arm into a armcannon like samus aran has. I failed but not completely, what i now had was an old fashioned Iron and black powder armcannon and it was good enough. I fired a ball at the mast and it made a clean round hole straight through the mast. i fired again and it broke off one side of the hole. the mast didn't fall over and i was getting irritated. my friend morphed his arm into a musket and fired it onto the little piece of mast that was still remaining. It fell and crushed against the ground. I tried morphing my arm into a musket aswell but i only got a tattoo of a musket on my hand when i tried. but it didn't matter because i could still shoot with it. we walked below deck and found a treasure chest and inside were a pair of blue jeans witch i put on as fast as i could because i was naked, we then walked out of the ship through a hole my friend blasted with his arm-musket. there was one more thing i had to do before i left and that was ride a unicorn i thought, so i tried summoning one but i only managed to summon a narwhal witch i mounted and started to ride. i later morphed the narwhal into a unicorn after many failed attempts i finally succeded and then i woke up into another dream where i was in a big livingroom with bunches of weapons on the walls (swords and hammers, flails and such) my little brother and my mom were there but i was frodo from the lord of the rings saga. suddenly a horde of orcs and other tolkien creatures started coming into the room and we started battling against them. my mother grabbed a big plank with gigantic nails sticking out of it and started whacking away i was irritated that she was such a horrible fighter but it didn't bother me that much. my brother grabbed two swords and was doing quite well since he plays alot of sports and is athletic but i couldn't find any waeapon that i preferred. i grabbed a stick and a little knife and started fighting. after a while sauron erupted from the ground like a volcano and started walkign toward me. he stopped and held out his hand, we proceeded to have a tug of war with the ring in the center (the one ring) instead of a rope. i won the tug of war and went over to the fireplace and put it in a spoon and it melted. then i woke up for real this morning with my mother shouting at me to wake up.. i think there was more to the dream but i can't remember it ...

I have decided on a new way of describing rooms and smaller areas since I reckon I've done a pretty poor job of it so far. The door of the room is always North.

Non-lucid
Lucid

I was in a fairly small room, I was sitting on a stool in the south-westerly corner, playing on a hi-hat and three of my chums where sitting on a brown leather sofa against the eastern wall. One of my teachers was there, talking about something, I was too engrossed in the hi-hat to take note. I then heard him say, “I will see you all next lesson”. Now, I knew it was currently the summer holidays so I did a reality check. Bingo! The room went dark. I tried to look at my hands so I could do another but it was too dark to see. I look toward the door which is a little off north east, if you know what I mean. The door lead to a hallway lit with sodium lights. Benny was walking a little ahead of me, he said something to the teacher who replied with, “I don't think you're in my lesson.” Benny gives his characteristic confused look and carries on walking. I see the door up ahead, and I am also looking at all the Dcs. I try to talk to one, but he had a speech defect, so I couldn't understand or remember what he was trying to say. I walk out the door into a town. It's more of a park than a town. There was a small fountain in front of me. It was a small column of stone, reaching my waist and it had rocks piled on top of it, with water coming out the top of course. I leant on it, and reached for the water. It was cold. I noticed a group of school children who were all looking at something. I went round to see and there was a boy holding a dog he threw it on the ground. Nobody reacted.
The dream ended.

Notes:
This was from an hour-long nap I took today.

This dream involved me standing on a driveway to my house; I was facing the street right from the start. This place hardly looked like my house though. The driveway was all the way to the left of the lot, but I didn't look back to see if it properly connected with the house. Along the side of the driveway, there was a large evergreen tree, probably at least thirty feet tall. It filled up at least half the front yard. It was nighttime, but there were street lights casting an orange glow to the area. It was light enough to see everything.

I became lucid, but I wasn't aware as I should have been, or would have liked. I immediately gasped and looked around, taking in the scenery, with no need to do a reality check. "I'm dreaming!" I confirmed to myself just from the fact that there was a jumbo tree sitting in my front yard. I immediately started to walk forward, and stopped as soon as I was about to set foot on the street. There was a woman with shoulder-length blonde hair walking down the road, her face turned away from me. A few feet from where she was walking, the road curved around a house and I couldn't see past it. I called out to her, asking where I was, and she turned around. I didn't recognize her face at all. She told me that I was in Las Vegas. I immediately told her off. "Yeah right, this is nothing like Las Vegas. There's no neon lights, no cars driving by, and definitely no casinos."

I forgot about her and decided to try throwing a pokeball. I didn't think of what I'd release, though, until it was already in the air, so I just shouted out a random Pokemon. I shouted out, "Fearow!"

It ended up on the road and looked like it should have: brown, with a pink beak and cream fuzz on its back. It was around the proper size too. But somehow, its behavior was off. Instead of flying above the ground or at least levitating, it was hopping along the ground like a duckling, and squawking every few seconds. It didn't turn to look at me when I called it. After that the dream ended rather abruptly; it was probably the thunderstorm outside that woke me.

Note: My first goal for the night was to go to MoSh's inner world to see if there was anything wrong in there due to some strange sexually explicit dreams he had the night before, consisting of transvestites and a series of lesbian orgies… After that, I just saw the movie Shrek Forever After and I saw the main characters riding on the back of a large red dragon, that made me want to ride a dragon, so that was the plan for after that. With these things in mind, I fell asleep, but I was not successful in my WILD. These dreams are kind of chained together as best as I could since this is also the night my waterbed sprung a slow leak, so I woke up several times to find I was wet… I had to take care of that situation before I could get back to sleep.

I woke up in bed… but I wasn't in bed, I was in water about half a foot deep, which was not a good sign since I sleep on a waterbed. I sat up, I was soaked, my waterbed mattress was flat beneath me, and there was about half a foot of water contained within the plastic liner around the bed frame. What had once been my bed was now a small wading pool in my bedroom… Damn, I hadn't figured I would get this wet! It was just a slow leak! Cursing my luck, I climbed out of the bed (pool) and I was dripping all over the floor, I was heading to my bathroom to get a towel and dry myself off with. I came out of my bedroom and I was not in my house… I was in a college dormitory, which is also odd since I have never lived in a college dormitory in my life, and there were people all standing around talking, no one seeming to notice the fact I was dripping all over the place. This didn't strike me as odd enough to do a RC, though. I was thinking I need to get in the habit of doing RC's more often, so I thought entering the hall was a good place so whenever I start a dream in my room I will do an RC when I leave. I did a nose pinch RC and found I was dreaming.

Now that I was lucid I had to remember what my goals for the night were so I could get going on them. As I was thinking about that, at first the goals were eluding me, but I finally got onto the right train of thought and remembered what I wanted to do. Ride a dragon! But that wasn't the first goal, the first goal was to investigate MoSh's inner world for any sign of problems. So I opened a portal to MoSh's inner world and went through it.

I stepped out of the portal onto the green grass in front of MoSh's house, which looked completely normal as far as I could see. I went to the front door and knocked, Asuka opened the door and had a plate of cookies in her hands, she offered me cookies as I entered the house looking for MoSh. I took two cookies and looked around the house until I finally found MoSh in one of the bedrooms working on a computer there. I focused on scanning the area to see if there was any sign of unstable dark energy, but the only source of dark energy I could find was me, and that dark energy was stable and contained. I checked closer, looking for any sign of various types of negative energies, as well as for light energy that was not stable, since that can be as bad as unstable dark energy. Nothing. Everything around MoSh's house looked completely normal, and when I expanded my scan to reach the outer areas of his inner world, everything looked normal there, too. I got MoSh's attention and told him I didn't see anything wrong in his inner world, he said to check again, I said I already had checked several times. He pointed out that there had been transvestites and lesbians having orgies in his house the night before, I told him I didn't know what to tell him about that, but there was nothing going on right now. I told him if there was anything else going on, I would be back to check again, but for now, how about we go get on a some dragons and fly?

MoSh was agreeable to that, and he went to get the kids. There were four kids there, I suck at telling age, but there was a girl who appeared around 14, a girl looking about 7, a boy that looked to be about 5, and one more boy who appeared to be the youngest looked to be about 3. Asuka picked the youngest up, and all of them followed me through a portal to my inner world, to a wide meadow near the edge of a cliff where there was plenty of room for dragons to take off. Right now, however, the field was full of playful pokémon, which clearly took everyone by surprise since they had been expecting dragons. I had been planning on bringing someone… Pablo! I opened a portal to Pablo's inner world and went through it, only to find Pablo climbing a tree in his inner world, I called to him and asked if he wouldn't rather be riding a dragon than climbing a tree… he jumped down from a very high branch, landed squarely on his feet, and then came through the portal. Now I saw Nomad was there, he was looking around for dragons, too. He said if we were short on dragons, he could transform into a dragon and carry someone on his back. I motioned to all of the pokémon and said we were by no means short on dragons. Additionally, there were a few dragons showing up now, those dragons included Vegeta's huge dragon, looks extremely mean and I wouldn't recommend anyone other than Vegeta try to ride him, and my own dragon, who looks like a bigger and meaner charizard with golden scales instead of red and orange, though he is nowhere near the size of Vegeta's dragon.

Vegeta came over closer to MoSh, his gigantic dragon right there with him, somehow in spite of the dragon's size he was moving very silently, so when MoSh turned around to see Vegeta the dragon was practically on top of him which clearly alarmed MoSh. MoSh stared at the dragon briefly before turning and heading quickly over closer to my golden charizard, saying he would stick with that size.

Vegeta looked at MoSh, then at the huge dragon behind him, and said the only reason MoSh would want to ride that dragon would be if MoSh was suicidal. MoSh said he didn't want to be anywhere near Vegeta's dragon. Vegeta told him to cut that out, the dragon is a sweetie as long as you don't try to ride 'im. Vegeta told MoSh to feed his dragon something and they could be best friends. MoSh fed something to the dragon, who seemed quite pleased with that, and nuzzled MoSh looking for more. Of course when that big a dragon nuzzles you, it is likely that you fall over… which MoSh did.

Now it was time to take off. All over the place, pokémon began changing into dragons, starting with my pikachu, my first pikachu, who turned into a huge blue dragon surrounded by electric sparks. A vulpix transformed into a huge black dragon for Pablo, I saw Tigress getting onto my flaming golden dragon, MoSh, the kids, and Asuka were on a rather long white dragon, I didn't even see what pokémon transformed to form that one… Soon we were all on dragons, there were more people there than I remembered having… I was thinking that there were an awful lot of people I don't know inside my inner world, making me a bit uncomfortable, but then again, Vegeta was also with us.

We rode the dragons on a bit of a tour of the wild areas of my inner world, the castle that was designed after the Castle of Lions off of Voltron with the unused mech lion replicas perched on their towers, I looked at the black lion and remembered my ex boyfriend James used to pilot that one… no more, I didn't really want to think about my ex… We flew the dragons low over an ocean, and then through a portal out of my inner world. I wasn't sure where we were going, I didn't really care where we were going right now. I was just enjoying the sensation of flight. Somewhere in this area my memory of the dream fades, though I'm not sure if I woke up or if I stopped remembering.

Note: I actually did wake several times in this dream, then I fell back asleep and focused and got back into it, and I was able to do it! This was actually a quite successful chain of dreams, now if I could just do this kind of chaining when I'm not being awakened by a wet bed!

Hello all, I joined shortly after seeing Inception, I hope you all don't find that too gimmicky of me. Either way I have been having lucid dreams for as long as I could remember, after a while I just stopped explaining them to people because the majority of them either did not care or believe me. I read a few tips and tricks on the forums, but I had put none to use because I have just been too busy lately, either way, I had another lucid last night.

Spare me.. I don't remember much of it, I forgot about them until I was using the bathroom this morning... about 20 minutes after I woke up.

Also I have started dreaming again every night since I joined, the inspiration here is so nice, but this is my first run in with total control.

Anyway, here goes -

Im sitting in a classroom, its sometime between middle and highschool, maybe a mix between the two. The girl beside me is familiar to my sub-conscious, but I still have no idea who she is, I notice im dreaming, and decide to take control of the situation. The girl is talking about how she wanted something, but all she had was something else. (it was a potion, but I cant remember which)

I took the potion and there is where it gets funny. (I have always tried changing things and failed frequently) But this time I recalled the post on these forums about if you want to change something you need to truly believe it. I was actually thinking to myself, I really need to believe it if I want to change it. I slid the potion under my jacket (it was in my lap) and it came back out as what I was trying to change it to. Which was a bright purple potion in a little odd shaped bottle. Success!

Great, after that this dream started to go a little downhill, I hope its not too graphic. I proceeded to do some sorta naughty things here and started to lose control of the dream, as i fading in and out of lucidity.. it kinda felt like I was watching a movie I had arleady seen.. a movie that played out exactly how I wanted it to, or maybe something I had just a small amount of influence over.. Anyway, my hands went to her lap, and eventually her face came to mine. There was actually a little feeling to it, which there always has been whenever I had lucid dreams that were sexual.. I guess this is the sub conscious knowing what it should feel like? I don't know, I can remember trying to really focus on it to get more feeling out of it (dirty bastard I know) and after that even moving on to another girl.

[Transition]

What I don't remember is my transition to the next dream segment, where I completed last month's lucid task. So I don't want to make anything up, i'll just go straight through to it. I was in a room, seemed like kitchen, like a huge kitchen with lots of open space. There were bulk sized crates of food around wooden pallets...

(these things)


I was with a squad of people who I assume had been traveling with me, we were clearly waiting to activate a boss fight. (my sub conscious was apparently telling me this... a boss fight from a video game, but it was nothing I have ever encountered IRL) I asked why we were waiting, we apparently needed many more members to do this.

I insisted we go ahead and start, the others would be here eventually. So we did, I picked up a pallet and somehow the encounter just magically started, this huge hulk like figure (more like Hercules from god of war)



came out and proceeded to blow me and my squad to the wall with just his breathe... I used the pallet to block any damage.. but I knew I was doing this encounter the wrong way. He used a few other of his attacks, I continued blocking with the pallet, although I was taking no damage I still felt like I was doing the encounter wrong.

Just then I again realized since I was controlling the dream and I should try the dreamviews monthly challenge! (didnt realize it was august 1st until I woke up) I threw the pallet down since I was taking no damage, either because it was a dream or because some sort of cheats had been activated (im a gamer guys sorry) After this I walked out to the next room, which happened to be the bathroom.

There was a phone there and I can remember rushing to pick it up... I couldnt think of any numbers to dial so I tried 911... The person answering was defiantly not a 911 operator, and possibly speaking a different language, I was so focused on getting the task done I either ignored her, or just have no recollection of what she was saying. It was a japanese or chinese lady on the other line, and after she got done speaking I informed her that I was only completing the dreamviews lucid task of the month.

Throughout the dream I can remember several times needing to do the cloning task, but for some reason felt like I needed to find the right person to ask about a cloning machine. (this was from somone elses post on the forums) And I was so excited about being lucid once again I kept putting that task back for other things.. like blowjobs.. no seriously lol :/

Anyway, from here the dream gets really confusing, the order of things starts to get out of whack.... im still not sure which of those two events even came first. I'll remember better next time.

Just for those curious, I played assassigns creed 2 about 30 minutes before bed... Even though unnatural light does kill the creation of melatonin.. I also lay in the bed just about every night telling myself I need to get a damn mp3 player already! When I start to get really tired I usually think to myself (Its just a dream, I am in control) over and over.


Once I do get an MP3 player this stuff is going to get real serious :3

08.01.2010
I was working in a coffee shop that about to open. The only people inside were my mom, a coworker, and me. I was making coffees when I noticed that my very attractive coworker was naked, and I was too. We began caressing each other when I remembered that we were not alone. Then I casually remember that strange, attractive girls are a dream sign, and that I must be in a dream, so that my mom isn’t really in the coffee shop with us. At this point I become lucid. I can’t see anything, but I can still feel the fabric of the dream around me. I kind of freak out and lose lucidity. I had it for maybe two seconds.

Next dream:

I was on the side of a lake, watching boats race. The boats looked like old muscle cars. I decide to walk elsewhere, and I run into Aaron Wilson. I tell him the same story I told him earlier this evening, the one about Mrs. Grimes telling me of Caroline and Chris, when I saw him at Catie’s show. For some reason I decide to look at my watch, and I notice instantly that it is constantly changing. I realize with much excitement that I am still dreaming. I calmly picture my body in bed, and then become enveloped with the dream. This time, everything is crystal clear. I see Aaron as if he really there with me, and I immediately began talking to him. I ask him if he’s had dinner, and we begin walking down a path that appears to just loop around to where it began. The sky looks different, but very vivid. As I take in everything around me, I lose some lucidity. Then Patrick Ellison comes up with a couple other people asking me how to get somewhere or something. At this point I am once again drawn to the strangeness of the dream, but as I become lucid again I start to slip away from the dream, and the next thing I know I am awake in bed.

Note: At the end of my last dream, I awoke to my alarm. It didn’t feel like the alarm woke me, because I woke straight from the lucid dream. It literally felt like teleporting because I was THERE, in the dream, one second, and the next second I was in my bed, with the music (alarm) playing.

Also, I probably lost some lucidity because I had no intent within the dream. I simply wanted to talk to someone and walk around, looking at everything. Next time, I need to be more focused, and my lucidity should remain more constant.

Another note: In addition to not having intent within the dream, I didn’t have a whole lot of control either. I still felt like I was kind of “along for the ride” in the dream, although I was able to control where I walked and looked. The fact that I asked Aaron if he had dinner obviously shows that I wasn’t in complete control (I would rather have been like DUDE IM IN A LUCID DREAM).

NON-LUCID LUCID MISSED DREAMSIGNS

I went to D-Mission (the cybercafe I used to go years ago), with Javier (my brother) and Gonzalo (a friend). We played Counter-Strike a while, and I've seen some magazines. I asked the employee about the price of Jedbangers magazine, She said me It costs $5. We went out. I count my cash: I had five pesos and some coins for the bus. I say to my brother "wait me a minute", and I go to buy the Jedbangers.

"One Jedbangers, please". She gave me the bill, but It says $11! . Now, she says that I have to pay that $11 before leaving the place. I say "You said me $5, so I'll pay You $5", and she spits a bunch of bullshit trying to force me to pay that $11". So, I had no choice but go with her boss to tell him the problem.

Right after that, I'm walking in the street with the the boss. I tell him the problem, and He says "do You have the bill?". Suddenly, we are alone in the cybercafe, looking for the bill. He says "hey, I found it". Surprisingly, now the bill says $5!.

We are back in the street again, and He says "The ticket says $5, so go back to the cybercafe and tell her I say You're only going to pay $5".

Now, I'm walking back to the cybercafe, when all becomes strange. "Wait a minute, I've seen this before, It's the sunlight entering through thw window... I'm am dreaming! I realized I missed a lot of dream signs (those in red). Damn sunlight, It will keep bothering me, so let's finish this quickly". I decide to enjoy that too much as I can, and what could be more enjoyable than shouting and spitting right to the face of that annoying girl?

I go right to her. She looks terrified, like knowing what to expect. I start hitting the desk with my fists, then I shouted and spitted right to her face, reproaching that "I was right, I was right, I WAS RIGHT!" . I paid the $5 and grabbed the magazine. That was amazing!

Then, I could wake up knowing that I've reached my goal.

BONUS: Then, I bought a Jedbangers IRL. I paid $12.

PS: that guy in the picture is an argentinian actor, Alfredo Castellani, and "the boss" looked like him.

Spoiler for spanish version, with more details (quote from my Facebook page):

Se me ocurrió ir a D-Mission, entonces le dije a Gonzalo y a Javi y fuimos a viciar un toque.

Yo en la máquina 13, Gonzalo en la 12 y Javi en la 11 (El que fué alguna vez a D-Mission podrá acordarse tal vez que la máquina 13 es la última de la fila). Bueno, al lado de la máquina 13 había un puestito de revistas medio improvisado, entonces mientras viciaba podía chusmear que revistas habían. Ví por ahí una revista Jedbangers, y recordé que un amigo me dijo que me la compre porque había una nota interesante sobre géneros raros del Metal. Le pregunte a la mina que atendía cuanto estaba la Jed, $5 me dijo.

Salimos del cyber. Saludé a Gonzalo (porque el se iba para el otro lado) y después de contar la plata ($5 y monedas pal colectivo, llegaba justo) le dije a Javi "bancame un toque". Entré, le pedí una Jedbangers y me hizo el ticket.

- Cuánto está entonces?.
-$11.
- Pero si me habías dicho $5...
- No, $11 está.
- Nono, me habías dicho $5.
- Mirá te explico: La revista está $7, pero este mes no llegaba y la tuve que pedir por encargo, entonces me llegó 2 semanas tarde y por eso tiene $4 mas de recargo.
- Pero si me dijiste $5, ahora me la tenés que cobrar $5.
- No, está $11 te dije, y ya te hice el ticket pos $11 así que hasta que no pagues no te vas de acá.

Se escucha la puerta cerrándose...

- Ya vas a ver, me voy a quejar con el encargado.

Estoy caminando en la calle, hablando con el encargado sobre esto que me pasó. Le explico la situación, a lo que lo primero que me dice es "tenés la factura?". En ese momento caigo "uhh no me digas, no me hizo la factura!", pero le digo "si, fijate por ahí". Volvemos al cyber y revisamos el mostrador (la cajera no estaba). De repente me dice "acá está", y levanta una factura de de esas de hoja encha con abujeritos en los costados (escrito así a propósito, no me vayan a criticar después). Volvemos a caminar por la calle y sigue la charla.

- Entonces?
- Mirá, primero te dijo que estaba $5, y la factura dice $5, así que te tiene que cobrar $5. Andá y decile que te dice el encargado que te tiene que cobrar $5.
- Ok, gracias capo y disculpa que te joda.

Entonces voy caminando de regreso a DM, y se pone todo mas claro, como si se impusiera firme el sol que acecha el Sahara. Entonces siento otro yo... claro, era el yo de mi cama, y no el que estaba a 20 cuadras en el cyber.
Ahí comienzo a razonar: ...hace bocha que no voy a D-Misison... ...nunca iría con Gonzalo sin llamar antes a alguno de los viciosos mas cercanos... ...como podía estar el puesto de revistas ahí, no taparía el paso a las máquinas del fondo?... ...D-Mission nunca tuvo cajera, siempre atienden viciosos u otakus... ...la salida de DM no encaja con la cuadra de Marcos Computación... ...la parada del colectivo queda del otro lado de las vías... ...tiene DM precisamente "encargado" que no sea Jorge?... ...claro, por eso el encargado es el tipo que hace de representante de Juan Perugia... ...por eso saltamos directo a la calle, directo al cyber y directo a la calle de nuevo... ...por eso la factura primero era ticket finito, después la creía inexistente y al final pasó a ser de las otras...

Conclusión: estaba soñando. Al alcanzar el estado lúcido todo comenzó a devanecerse, tanto por no entrenar la concxiencia en los sueños como por la luz que entraba por la ventana. Ya no valía la pena intentar mantener un sueño que se alejaba cada vez mas solo para intentar cosas que se que a la larga vos a lograr, así que solo me dispuse a llegar al desenlace. Recuperé algo del sueño, las imágenes se volvieron un poco mas nítidas, pero solo por unos segundos. Predije que eso iba a pasar, y por lo tanto me apuré a entrar el cyber, y de un vistazo ya estaba golpeando el mostrador furioso y gritándole a la empleada, que no podía reaccionar. Luego solo recuerdo estar parado afuera, el mismo escenario en donde había contado las monedas, pero esta vez con la revista. Eso da por hecho que cumplí mi cometido, entonces miré el reloj, sin prestar atención a la hora, y desperté voluntariamente.

Yapa: al día siguiente, me compré una Jedbangers para "conmemorar" el objetivo cumplido. Estaba a $12

07/31/10
Lucid?: Oh yes, DILD.
Dream prep: 3 mg of melatonin

First off, this is my first Dream Journal entry on Dream views, but it isnt my first actual entry in my Journal.

The dream started out with me sitting at a table eating with people, people that i've never seen in my life. I felt an odd feeling and did a RC. after a couple of trys my finger went through my hand. and i kept asking myself if i was dreaming, the family i was sitting with started yelling "NO! you're not dreaming!" and continued for a few more seconds before i screamed "SHUT THE *explicit* UP!, I'm lucid". So then i proceeded to kick the dad out of his chair because of his hostility towards me. I made myself go into God mode (I looked into the mirror and i had the golden eyes off of the game Doom, Haha!). I then ended up outside without knowing how i got there, most likely due to my mind wandering. I walked around my house and heard guys walking around my house as well. there were 5 of them, All African American, they greeted me as if they knew me, and proceeded to go chill in my house. due to me dreaming, i didnt really care. so i went to the back yard and tried to fly. Jumping in the air didnt work, but i jumped 20 feet in the air, and floated back down. i noticed one of the guys that went in my house was on the ground talking about jumping into a time lapse. I ignored his senseless banter and resumed my trys at flying. didnt work, and before i knew it, my dream faded, and i was plunged into the non-dream world.

I've been researching the subject for weeks. I had an awareness of Lucid Dreaming but never fully understood how it was possible. As something as wonderful as controlling your own dreams I wanted to try, being someone who has quite vivid dreams every night.

I ignored the common techniques of checking my watch every hour, or drawing a sign on my hand, or looking in the mirror. I just figured that if I thought about lucid dreaming enough that It might just naturally occur. This only led to me falling asleep and completely forgetting LD ever existed or that I was trying to induce it in the first place.

I was quite lucky I think, as I was given an extremely easy 'dream signal' to lead me to my first lucid dream. I was dreaming of a surrounding that I cannot recall now, and I started to feel the sensation of my teeth falling out. I could feel my tongue twisting round the tooth and it falling off with a tug and a spit of the mouth. Eventually I spat and a mouthful of blood and teeth fell into my hand. As I was looking at my teeth in my dream-like state, I thought to myself 'This is one of the most common dreams people have'. And just like that something signalled the process in my mind to make me realise that I was obviously in a dream at that time.

This was not just me dreaming that I realised I was in a dream. I actually realised. And I panicked. I started to be aware that I was asleep in my bed and so to keep myself in a dream I remembered to rub my hands as suggested when trying to keep yourself asleep. However I suddenly felt myself awoken but with my eyes still closed, and when I opened them it was light outside but I was fully aware of what had just happened and what I had tried to achieve in my dream-like state.

I went back to sleep but could not go back to my lucid dream. It was a miracle that I managed to do it in the first place considering how little time I have spent trying. I was lucky I was given such an obvious signal as teeth falling out.

My plan now is to keep a dream journal of every night to make a record of my dreams in hope to realise more clearly when it is a dream, and when this happens to have a plan of what I want to achieve in this LD. Perhaps I shall try something simple like flying to begin with.

Let the dreaming begin.

Lucid Dream within a long non lucid dream (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Not a bad night but neither an awesome night. I went to bed very late and I needed to wake up early (in fact earlier as I want to send this asap)

I was in a big apartment. I was there with my wife and some friends. In fact, we lived there with another couple and we even sleep with them. The other couple was not as unite as I am with my wife. He wanted to have sex with her and at the same time he was afraid. She was upset about it. She also wanted to have sex but she wanted to wait. Both of them knew I had a lot of eloquence and he was afraid I would convince his girlfriend to have sex with me. She did not want to have sex with me, she wanted to be loyal, but at the same time, she was afraid that my eloquence would convince her to have sex. She also knew I was powerful in my dreams. She though it was all about my pillow, or something odd. I told her if she needed to badly to have sex, we could have sex in a shared lucid dream. I used my eloquence to convince her and she fell for it. We were convinced we would meet in a lucid dream. We went to sleep

I had a false awakening and for some reason I knew I was dreaming. My lucidity was not awesome, I realized I was dreaming in my bed, but in my dream bed, not in my real wakin bed (yes, a dream within a dream) I was in a big hall.







It was a huge fancy hotel. There were enormous chandeliers, beautiful ones. There were several red and golden carpets. There were no DC at all. I could hear the chatter of loose male voices, but nothing else. In a small table I saw different tubes of paint (for portraits, not regular wall paint) I remembered I had to pick certain colors. I saw some odd colors but I grabbed a blue one, a yellow one and a red one. I had all three, I decided to place them in a basket by themselves. I grabbed a light brown wooden basket. The basket had a small napkin. I placed the tubes inside. Red, yellow, blue. I closed up the basket and prepared as a gift. I look at the basket and said, "This is a gift that contains all three colors" I realized that I did both "one of each color" and/or "something with all three colors" As it was not clear what to do I did both. A little after this, I saw other baskets with several more colors, like rainbow ones, that contained all the primaries and secondaries ones.

I big door opened. I though in meeting my female friend. I realized I was going to have my first dream share. I was excited. The door opened and I though, "It is just a stupid white horse. Damn it" I realized I had to ride it. Now it had a small shinny horn in the middle of its third eye. It was a unicorn all right. I rod it, I think for a few seconds and jumped out of it. I said, "I did ride the stupid unicorn, both tasks done. Where is my female lover!" The unicorn was gone and I saw a couple of male DC. We started to talk about being in a lucid dream. My lucididy level decreased here, but I was still lucid. I told them I was dreaming, waiting for a hot female friend that needed sex in waking, but could not have it. I told them I was loyal to my wife and I would no have sex for real with her. They told me it was a good idea. They asked me that they wanted to do the same. I told them we were already in a dream, but they could try to go to sleep in the lucid and awake in other place. They left to do it. I then realized that at least for me, if I went to sleep in a lucid I would awake, I did that before. I started to walk around to see if I finally meet with this lady. My dream vanishes.

I have a False Awakening in the bed I "went to sleep" initially. I was alone now in my bed, but I could hear the other female DC. She told me that she broke up with his boyfriend because he left with my wife. I was not hurt about it, so I had some degree of very low lucidity. I wanted then to find this lady. I left my place and knew she lived in an Arabic country. I was going to fly (in a plane) to her country, however, I appeared right there.
I was in the middle of an Arabic bazaar







I was a little afraid. I did not know the language and I was not sure if I could communicate. I did not know either if I wanted to make a new life there or what. I saw a small wooden house, it was a restaurant so I decided to enter it. I could not understand a word of the environmental chatter. I saw some small tables without cloth. They had a small candle. I saw some DC eating odd food. The restaurant was not very full, in fact, it was almost empty. I did not find this lady here so I exited the restaurant.
I saw a big hill, it was very green, full of grass. I saw a small home at the very end. As I approached the house, the female DC exited the home with a white dress. The wind moved her dress and her hair. I felt very good. We met and kissed. We entered her place. Her place was very big (in was bigger than her house from the outside) It had several stores and a lot of fancy rooms. We had to watch out for her family, they could not spot us. We started to make out, but a male voice approached so we stopped. It was her dad. I can't remember what he did told her. We went to another room and we started to make out and we had sex (I remember a lot of detail here, but I won't share due minors in the board. Add one more paragraf and allow your imagination to run... probably you will be close)
Her mom suddenly appeared. She jumped off me and I kept laying on my back. Her mom asked her something, smiled at me and greeted me. She asked me what I was doing lying on my back (I had clothes now) I told her I was meditating. I kept looking at the roof and I woke up.

Missed dream signs:
- Four people in my bed.
- Talking about dreams in the dream.

Noticed dream sings:
- The FA.

Reality check performed:
- None.

Second part missed dream signs:
- The FA.
- Abrupt scenery change.
- Not being spotted by the DC's mom.

What I would have done if lucid:
- Probably wake myself up due long lucid.

Right now, I'm home in Memphis, and I'd already woken up for real a few times this morning, but I was being a typical teenager and trying to milk every bit of sleep out of the day, so I kept going back to sleep. The last time was different, though. I woke up in my bed like I had been, and then I was walking into the house I stayed at in Daytona during the summer, but I was confused because it wasn't really the house I had stayed at. It had a different layout. Then I looked around and saw two of my friends from here in Memphis and remembered that that friend was getting a place off campus to live and that this was his house, not mine. And then it hit me. I thought, "This doesn't make sense. I just woke up in my bed in memphis, how did I get to Daytona? I must be dreaming." At that point, I was back standing in front of my room. First thing I tried was to fly down the hallway, succesfully. I walked out the front door, levetated a rock and changed it into something else, don't remember what. Some of my fraternity brothers were outside when I walked out the door. I tried changing some more rocks, but it didn't work and I was getting frustrated because the world was becoming out of focus, so I remembered an article I read and sad "clarify" out loud a few times and it seemed to work. I walked a little further around the house and at the corner, one of my brothers was digging a hole and it had an enormous spider in it. I tried to materialize something to kill the spider, but it didn't work and the spider jumped out and scurried down to the barn. Next, I'm at the barn. One of my brothers and Legolas (yes, Legolas from Lord of the Rings) are there with me. Legolas goes upstairs and finds the body of the spider. It's dead but seems as though babies have come out of it. We all go outside and there are bees flying around. I try making the be swarm disappear, and it slowly does. Then, I look up and and see that it's cloudy and I want it to be brighter, so I raise my hands and start trying to move the clouds out of the way of the sun. I am successful in this, and in moving the sun further off the horizon. Then I notice that the sun isn't a ball, but is shaped like a flag and has a symbol on it from Saints Row 2. I look back at the people around me. I recognize three of them as my fraternity brothers: Tim P, Kenneth H., and Joey J.. I look at Tim and realize that he is wearing glasses and braces, which he doesn't have in real life so I make them disappear. Then I look at Joey and notice that of all the people I've seen in the dream, he looks the most like he does in real life. Then I woke up. This is the first time I've actually been able to manipulate parts of my dream, and it was so exciting. I can't wait to try again.

dream lucid talking about the dream, but not part of the dream story

First dream of last night -

My family and I were at Denny's and I was showing off a couple of Apps for my iPod. I showed one about food to my Mom, who was supremely skinny. She said the sushi looked good and pulled a pair of chopsticks out of somewhere and reached into the picture and pulled out some of the sushi. I realized this wasn't possible and thought "Oh my god, I'm dreaming!" The ensuing excitement woke me up.

---

Second dream of last night -

first it started up a third person p.o.v and I was looking at song lyrics for a new Rasputina cd. They talked about this house, it was haunted and bad things had happened there. Then it was like I was watching videos of the stuff that had happened. there were a lot of turtles involved. and breaking lightbulbs.

A couple of other people and myself went to the place. When we got there we were told a bit about stuff that had happened.

In the dream I was a character I role-play. Some others and myself - four including me - went to the creepy house. We walked around first - it seemed like a hotel of sorts. Then I spotted a light flickering on and off like a signal. We went and found a secret passageway with cramped stairs going up, and we came to a place that looked like a jungle. There were wooden walkways and we followed them. To our right was a wide river and a walkway leading up to it and to the front of us was another river. We went to the river in front of us.

In the middle of the river was a big light that gave off heat, at one point making water shoot up into the air. I didn't want to go in at first, but one of the boys in our group went into the water and said it was fine, so we all went in, myself last.

I was looking around and there were these glass display cabinets with runes in them. They had the English translation of them, and at one point they told my (character's) beginning/ horrible thing that happened that made them the way they are. I turned to the other girl in the group and said to her "You want to know about me? Here." and waded away, annoyed.

There were now shelves on either side of the river holding beads and clay. I didn't really touch them but other people did. I saw a miniature clay loom and piano. We were starting to see more people, and it turned into a supermarket type setting, but there was still water around my legs. I got separated from my group and started looking for them. I saw a little girl, also lost, and for some reason it really made me sad, seeing this lone little girl. At this same time I heard "Playboy Mommy" by Tori Amos play over the speaker in the grocery store.

At that point I woke up because my Mom was calling me. I still had "Playboy Mommy" playing in my head.

---

Part of this is understandable - I can even pick out stuff that happened from the day before. My Grandparents took me to Denny's for dinner, I listened to 'Playboy Mommy' the day before, and of course I was looking at iPod apps. Some I'm not sure.

Note: My first goal for this night was to look for Asuka. MoSh said he is worried about the situation due to not having seen her in the past few dreams, so I agreed to help locate her and see if there was something wrong. With this in mind I fell asleep and slipped into a WILD.

As my WILD began I found myself in the same familiar location in MoSh's inner world. I didn't have to wait very long, MoSh came right out of the house and came over to me, clearly in a hurry to get moving. He came over to me and looked like he was surprised that I had not yet opened the portal, we most certainly had to get moving before… well before what? I had no idea what he thought would happen if we didn't depart immediately, but I went ahead and opened a portal while focusing on locating Asuka wherever she may be. MoSh followed me through the portal.

MoSh and I emerged into a beautiful place, flowers growing everywhere, a sparkling stream flowing through tall green grass, the path we were on led to a small bridge over the stream… it was all beautiful. I wondered where Asuka might be, although it definitely looked like the kind of place we might find her. After scanning the area for signs of her energy, I led MoSh across the small bridge and into an area filled with particularly beautiful flower. Asuka was at the end of the path near a small pool, crawling through the plants and flowers as if looking for something, she was so distracted with her search that she hadn't even noticed we were there. She was looking closely at some strange flowers floating in the pool of water right next to her, staring very intently at the flowers as if she wasn't sure what to do next. She only became aware of us when MoSh spoke to her.

"Asuka?" MoSh said, getting her attention, "What are…" Asuka interrupted, she asked him to please not say anything until… she picked one of the strange flowers off the surface of the water… until he had smelled the flower. MoSh looked rather confused, he asked what the flower was for as Asuka came over and held it out to him. She said it was a heart flower, a blue lotus flower with a heart in the center, and whoever smelled the flower would only be able to express their true feelings. She said if MoSh could smell the flower and still wanted her to go… she looked like she might cry, but she went on and said she was sure he would not be able to say such things if he smelled the flower first. So if he really meant what he had… MoSh interrupted now, saying he hadn't said she should go, she had decided that all by herself, after the lucid dream they had shared together, she had just gone silent and he hadn't seen her since. Asuka looked momentarily confused, then said no, he had called her a whore and said he wanted her to go… Something wasn't right there, I was wondering what was going on. Maybe the best thing to do would be to see exactly what had happened. The first thing I thought about was viewing the dream, so I summoned my laptop and activated. I dialed the dream up, hoping I wouldn't see too much of the actual action of the dream.

Asuka's View
The hologram now had me in the dark of MoSh's and Asuka's bedroom, I really felt like I was intruding here, but I wanted to know what had happened that Asuka's report of events was so different from MoSh's. I peeked up at the bed cautiously, I wanted to be sure there was nothing going on there anymore, and the two of them were just lying there. MoSh was facing the other direction, Asuka was facing him, and though it was pretty much impossible to see, there was a shadow between the two of them… was that the problem? Most likely. A voice seemed to come from MoSh, it sounded like MoSh's voice, but it didn't sound like something MoSh would say… he told Asuka that had been so disappointing, he told her if he had known that was all he would get he wouldn't have bothered rescuing her all the time… Asuka just had a shocked look on her face, she said that wasn't funny if he thought he was joking. He (or the shadow) said he wasn't joking, and then added that Asuka had been nothing but a disappointment since day one, she had brought him nothing but trouble, so she should get the fuck out of his house, she was no longer welcome there. Asuka touched MoSh on his shoulder, MoSh responded with, "I know you're stupid… but don't tell me you're too stupid to know what it means when I tell you to get the fuck out!"

It looked like Asuka was crying, but she said to herself that there must be something wrong, someone had done something to him… she went to Data, who was in the other room, she said something was wrong with MoSh, but she couldn't see what, he had to help… So Data followed Asuka back to the room and did a scan of MoSh. The shadow thing was gone, so there was nothing there for him to see. I also took the opportunity to scan MoSh, but there was no sign of infection or anything. Asuka went and used what looked like a laptop and contacted Q, asking him to take a look at MoSh and see if he could find anything wrong. Q also took a look at MoSh but he was unable to find anything wrong. She used the laptop and now contacted Basara, she wanted him to check MoSh, but MoSh agreed with Q, she asked Basara where I was. Basara said I was out dreaming somewhere, but he didn't know where, but I would surely be back soon. Asuka looked in on MoSh one more time, only to find the bed was empty, apparently MoSh had woken up. She turned away from the bedroom and walked down the hall looking very sad, but then she seemed to get an idea. She opened a portal and went through it immediately. I followed her through the portal thought I wouldn't have had to since the dream shifted right away to the new location.

The rest of the hologram projections on Asuka involved her searching through a lush and beautiful garden near the edge of a pond, heading into a rather dreary swamp also near the edge of the water, up to the top of a mountain right near a natural spring that was flowing strong and clear. By now she seemed to be getting frustrated and discouraged, I wondered what she was looking for, but for now she sat down in the middle of a patch of flowers and cried… but not for long, she soon got up and was off again, deep in the woods there was a cave with a clear stream flowing out of it into a sparkling pool. She was looking near the water's edge once again, and looked disappointed and frustrated again when she apparently didn't find what she was looking for. The next stop she made was the place MoSh and I ended up finding her, in the garden where she had found the strange flowers. The hologram ended before MoSh and I appeared.

MoSh said that was not what had happened, he said that Asuka had gone silent, and had refused to speak to him, and then when she had disappeared… Q appeared in front of us, he was holding a strange wiggling little imp like creature by the scruff of its neck. The thing was wiggling and hissing and squirming, cursing and spitting… Q said this annoying little thing had been creating illusions, a little troublemaker with no energy to speak of… MoSh wanted to know how it had gotten inside his inner world, why had it been screwing around in there… the thing was hissing and spitting expletives, hissing something about the entire idea of love being nothing more than a farce, all methods of manipulation, all lies, so those fools might as well find that out now, because anyone who falls for the tripe that is love is only mmmph mmmph mmmph mmmph… Q had covered the little thing's mouth, it bit him… MoSh wanted to rip the thing's head off… Q said he had some use for such a creature, or thought he might, then the two of them disappeared…

So my first experience with dream control was amazing.

Out of dream
In dream
Dream control

So I was sleeping (obviously) and I can hear noises of my mom talking out of my dream. I instantly knew I was dreaming because my mom was nowhere to be found. So I was just looking around at stuff I could do and I suddenly wondered "Well, I wonder how long until I wake up" so I was rushing to do something just to prove I could. So I find this metal sheet or whatever it was and I was just starring at it, I told myself "This thing needs to be bigger, A lot bigger." So I just imagine that thing about 20x's its size and I blink my eyes, all of the sudden when I opened them I have this giant metal sheet that was 20x bigger than the last in front of me. I then woke up and was disappointed but I was still amazed at how it happened.

Also, when I woke up I found out my mom was talking on the phone.

My first lucid in forever! This dream made reaffirmed to me the theory that just having LDing on your mind can lead to LDing. It was surprising though that my first day back on DV was also my first lucid in a long long time. On that note, I am going to put this as my first LD in my profile, because I forget how many I've had before this one, but maybe if I can find my archived DJ from before this new format I will edit this personal one to include my older dreams...

Anyway, on to the LD!

This was a DILD:

The dream started at the starting line of a marathon. I was there with my girlfriend and a few of her old suitemates from college. The gun went off and I started running up a muddy hill, which was the first part of the race. Overall the setting of the race reminded me of western Marin County in Northern California. There was a sort of ridgeline that marked the halfway point of the marathon, and the runners had to run up hill from the inland side of the ridgeline then over the top and down towards the coast. I noticed almost immediately a dream sign that is fairly common for me. As I try to run faster I start to slow down. In other words it is a very frustrating sensation of running through jelly when I want to sprint.

This sensation was so strong that I would watch people who were walking casually pass me as I tried my hardest to run quickly. I ran like this for about a minute before starting to think something was strange. I suddenly thought "Oh hey! I might be injured." As I looked down at my legs, I realized that I was extending my legs out very far in front of me in this sort of elongated walk. I realized that my legs were stretching farther than they were long and at this point I became lucid! I quickly did an RC of pushing my finger through my hand and that was it! I knew I was dreaming.

However, I was a bit disappointed at this point, because I only had a very low level of control of the dream. My lucidity was clearly not that strong, because I didn't really think about doing anything except continuing to run the marathon. I began to run again, and faced the problem again of my legs not obeying what I wanted them to do. Now though, I was able to exert a small amount of control on my dream. I thought to myself that if I were dreaming, I could just expect to run faster and I would. My legs immediately sped up, but unfortunately it only lasted for a couple of seconds, before the jelly legs took back over. To explain this phenomenon a bit more clearly, I have had many dreams where I am driving, and as I come up on a car in front of my I hit the breaks. However, the car doesn't really respond to the breaks and I can tell I'm about to hit the car in front of me. This problem with running was extremely similar.

At this point I had a false awakening. I felt myself loosing the dream and "woke up" on my bed with my cat laying next to me. However, I then must have woken up again, because the next moment I was awake for real, and realized that my cat was locked out of the bedroom for the night, so she could never have been laying next to me. It is unfortunate that I couldn't parlay this FA into a new LD, but I am encouraged by the night overall, given how long it has been.
