Flashing Light (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I had a false awakening in my living room. I was lying on the floor, sprawled out beside a Monopoly board. The rest of my family were playing. They asked if I wanted to join in, since they weren't long started, but I declined, saying that I wanted to go back to sleep. This was one of those odd FA's, where you're thinking about lucid dreaming, wondering whether or not you're asleep, but are too drowsy and lethargic to check. I fell back to "sleep" there anyway, and tried to WILD. What actually happened was that I woke up.

My mum was playing the piano downstairs- much louder than usual, I noticed. I thought there was no way I would get back to sleep with that racket. I tried anyway, and got some serious dizziness right away. I could feel it in my head but nowhere else. For some reason, my old bedroom popped into my mind, and became very easy to visualise. I imagined myself tapping a rhythm on the desk, and typing something on the computer, which I think included the word "motherfucker", for some reason. :s

There was no moment of nothingness, or "zoom" as my visualisations became "real", it just gradually solidified, and I found I could stand up and look around, rather than try to feel everything I could reach. I paused, and realised I could still hear the piano playing from downstairs. I tried clicking my fingers, clapping my hands and fiddling with the volume on my old stereo to turn it off, but nothing worked. Instead, the lights in my room started flashing on and off. But it wasn't just the lights. I looked out the window. The landscape was going from day to night and back again, as fast as the lights in my room were turning on and off. It sped up, and eventually settled at what looked like dawn, or maybe dusk. I turned away from the window, and saw an awesome-looking girl standing in the middle of the room. She was giving me a seductive look. I really wish I could pass on dream sex a bit more often and do something more worthwhile!

Roller Coaster Start (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was just waking up from a non-lucid dream where I was going to a theme park. Parc Asterix in Paris, to be exact. I was looking forward to going back on its biggest roller coaster, so I went for a DEILD.

I wound up at the front of the queue with my friend Darren. There were two other people with us who I knew, but I can't remember who they are now. I got on the first seat I came to, and the harness came down. I was sitting beside Darren, who is a fellow adrenaline junkie. We set off with a jolt, along the white/blue track. We had just attached to the clanking chain part when my phone rang.

Jumping to the Party Shack (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was making my way down to a shack out in the country, where lots of my friends were going for an impromptu party. The shack doesn't actually exist. I was on foot, climbing down rocky ledges and grassy hills. I'm not sure what caused it, but I became lucid out of nowhere.
"Oh, so it's a dream!" I said. I knew to shack wasn't too far ahead of me, so I did a massive jump, like the Hulk. I've found that huge, barely controlled jumps are much more reliable than flying. If I can get a load of explosive power into each jump, I'll go for quite a long way. I soared over some burned out buildings in a field, and a few crowds of people. I jumped again, and noticed the crowds were getting bigger. After my third jump, I landed beside a group of my friends sitting on a ledge opposite the shack. I said hello to them all and looked over. The shack was actually a lot like the Weasley's house in the Harry Potter movies. Every floor was filled with people. Some floors had disco lights flashing and music playing. I stepped off the ledge and floated over (as if there was no gravity) to the shack. I grabbed the outside of a balcony on one of the floors with music.



An old friend of mine came out to greet me.
"Aryt John, long time no see!" I had always been wary of her in the past, she could kick my ass no problem, and I always got the impression she wanted to. But since I didn't have to worry, we got along well. She helped me over the balcony and we talked for a while. I can't remember anything we talked about though. This dream was in an early REM cycle, and the following dreams eroded my memory of it. After a while I lost lucidity and went into the party.

Step Climbing (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I woke up a tiny bit, and wanted to go back in. I found that a dark basement was easiest to visualise, it seemed to come naturally. To get my body involved in creating the dream, I walked up some metal steps. I moved my legs, felt the cold metal rail, and heard the clank as I took each step. I paid particular attention to the weight of my body and the feel of the rails. Feeling things seem to help me best to DEILD- I like to call it "tactile entry". After about 10 seconds, the visualisations became realistic enough that I had completely let go of my physical body lying in bed. There was absolutely no lapse in cosciousness, which I found strange. Usually there's a "zoom" and I'm in, like entering the matrix, but this time the visualisations just became real themselves.

I knew where I was trying to get to, and as I walked out of the door at the top of the stairs, I visualised what I wanted to be on the other side, but it was a completely random scene which I didn't see coming at all. I guess I'm not completely in touch with my subconscious brain, it still does stuff without my go-ahead.

Reverse World (WBTB)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was only out of bed for a minute or two, then again five minutes later. Because I was still drowsy, I can't remember the transition into a dream- I usually only get SP and hypnagogia if I WILD later in the day, I've found.

I made a real effort to go and visit my friend round the corner in my dream. I had a number of false awakenings in various people's houses, all within a couple of miles of my the person's house who I wanted to visit, so I set off towards it each time by running, flying low and skipping parts of the journey. The area around me was bizzare. Really mind-blowingly strange. I was using Belfast Lough (which I could nearly always see) as a point of reference to navigate. However many of the streets went in the opposite direction, as in they were mirrored. Once I woke up at the beach. In real life, the beach is a mess, but in the dream, it was wide, sandy and clean with people playing in the sea. Nothing was quite as it seemed. I knew where I was (or where I was supposed to be) becuase of what part of the Lough I could see, so I headed West along the coast to find my friend's house. I passed through a holiday resort which isn't there in real life, and over a couple of ponds. Other things, like hills and roads were missing.

I eventually made it to my destination, but the street was messed up. It was vaguely the right shape, but the road was warped, and the houses were a totally different style.

Aaand You're Back in the Room! (DEILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I just lost touch with a LD this morning and wanted to reinsert myself where I was. I can't remember much about the previous dream, except that I was in my old house with my brothers and dog, and wanted to go out the back. I woke up as I was approaching the patio doors.

I visualised the dream I had just left, starting with feeling the pressure of my feet on the ground. I really "looked" at my visualizations, which quickly became "real".

"Right, I'm back," I said to one of my brothers. I slid open the patio door and stepped out the back. The grass was quite long and really needed cut. I had only just stepped out onto it when my dog came bounding over to me. He appeared to be several years younger than he is in real life, and had much more energy. I didn't bother with trying to accomplish anything with this dream, and just played with the dog for about 10 minutes until I woke up again.

Agents (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID



I was imprisoned in some kind of facility, and wanted to escape. It all seemed a bit old inside, the carpet was blue, but faded and worn. All the wooden panelling on the walls and walkways looked a bit beaten up. There were maybe fifty floors in the building, all of which rose up around a giant fir tree in the middle. It was as if the building had been intentionally built around this tree. I don't remember breaking out of a cell, but I remember knowing I just had, if that makes sense. I ran through seemingly endless corridors, and became a bit curious about why I wasn't getting anywhere. As I ran, I thought, this is the kind of thing that happens in scary movies, ...or a dream. The next set of double doors I came to were blasted open before me, and I found myself on a walkway near the top of the tree. Round the other side, I saw two agents of The Matrix. They looked up quickly as soon as I saw them. One of them took off his sunglasses and put them in his breast pocket. I quickly formulated an escape plan. I would jump over the edge of the walkway and use the tree to cushion my fall. By the time I was about to jump, one of the agents grabbed my shoulder and threw me backwards. I wasn't having this. I ran at him and kneed him in the crotch. He doubled over, moaning. I then put my hand inside his mouth and grabbed him by the upper jaw. I swung him over my head, holding him only by the jaw, and smashed him through a table I hadn't even noticed before. The other agent looked at me in terror and ran for it. After a short victory dance, I hopped over the edge and landed in the lower branches of the tree.

Guarding the Pope (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was the main guard of an entourage protecting the pope in the middle ages. We were on some sort of cross-country trip through dangerous lands. The pope himself was in an armoured horse-drawn carriage. It was black and covered in metal plating. The land we were passing through was like something from an old movie. The sand of the desert and the sky were both an odd shade of purple due to the strange lighting effects. The entourage was about to enter a passageway through a mountain when I heard a commotion up ahead. I looked into the opening in the rock and saw an army of thousands charging towards us on horseback, most of them carrying blazing torches.



The very sight of the army turned me lucid and I thought about trying to stop them. It seemed like an ambitious challenge. As they bore down upon me, the first thought that came to mind was Attila the Hun. This was always how I imagined his army. I held out my palm and tried to freeze them all solid, but nothing happened. I really tried to force something to happen, but I didn't expect the outcome. The mountain in front of us flipped over. The entire area turned as if on a hinge and in a few seconds the mountain became a flat expanse of land, and the army was gone.

Starts off with me on a vacation with a bunch of relatives. We are all down in the basement of wall looks identical to my house at home. There are several fishing rods standing up on a stand that look weirder than normal.

I go in a room and see two small wolf figurines/statues. One is gold, and one is gray in color. For some reason I decide I need them and place both into my pocket.

Fastforward: I am laying in bed with Sookie from Trueblood (I don't know what the hell is with me and hooking up with girls from that show, lol). We hook up.

Fastforward: Me and all my relatives are outside having a nerf gun war. The nerf guns look very real however, and shoot very realistically as well. I pick up an RPG, and it shoots the foam rocket identically to it's real predecessor. I thought about how sweet of a nerf gun it was.

______________

I am driving in a suburban to see a surprise that one of my friends has for me. When we get out of the suburban, I see a full sized, as well as an alive T-Rex.

"How in the hell is that thing existing right now?!" I asked my friend.

"They did took DNA from bone morrow of a T-Rex that was frozen." My friend replied (been watching too much Discovery channel I think lol).

I continued to watch in complete awe, as it's trainer made sure the T-Rex would not do anything ridiculous. I remembered watching this whole thing and noticing there was a small rope "caging" in the T-Rex.

_______________

I decided to try and DEILD when I woke up in the morning. It worked, at least for a minute. I am standing in the middle of a grass-field, and a wolf is standing in front of me. All of a sudden I feel the dream pulling away again, so I start to inspect the grass blades on the ground to stabilize it. It worked for a couple of seconds, however, it soon completely crashed down, even after an attempt to rub my hands and spin.


Note: Starting to notice that the gold/blonde wolf and gray wolf in my dreams seem to be yet another dream sign, as they show up a lot.

DREAMNONDREAMSCENEDESCRIPTIONLUCID

I've been slacking in the DJ department . Well, I did remember some dreams from this morning, but I was doin stuff, and didn't bother to remember it much . So, I have this bad LD I am sharing from yesturday.

I was in school, and it was the first day. I "decided" that it wouldn't "hurt" to become lucid, because I know school hasn't started yet, so I did reluctantly. Weird I know. I remember seeing one of my friends IRL, and without thinking I asked her to show me the cutest guys around. Well, all of them round up in front of me. There are about 7 of them. They are all wearing this same sweatshirt, just in different colors, except one which I realize is this random indian dude I know...he only looks average to me...Well, I saw that two of them had blue eyeliner on. They are straight...It is to show their team spirit. I thought that all of them in the sweatshirts are sporty and in some team. One of them had the eyeliner on perfect, and it oddly looked good on him. The other, not so great...I just left them, thinking none of them were worthy .

Location: A community swimming pool

I was swimming in a community pool in the shallow end which was about 3 feet deep. I walked towards the stairs and climbed out of the pool. I sarted walking towards some friends that I noticed were standing on the other side of the pool. I looked down randomly and noticed that I had nails on my big toes (I had surgery for ingrown toenails where both big toenails were permanently removed)I suddenly became lucid. I got really excited since it was my first time lucid in several weeks, so much so that i woke up.

I am traveling to a far away land with my two brothers and mother. We are in a van that resembles the mystery machine and my mother is driving, which is very weird since she never drives. We are trying to hurry up as fast as we can because my brother needs to get an operation. Something has gone wrong with his machine, as per usual. I'm slightly panicked because I fear for my brother. (T) The setting is strange, our van is filled with grayness and outside the gray fog swirls around the highway. I hear police sirens coming, and I freak out because I don't trust my mom's driving and think she's gonna get us arrested. After a few tense moments, my mom assures me the police peeps are simply swerving around us. We arrive at our destination, which seems to be a small grayish town with smoke all around it. I enter some bar/restaurant thing. I sit down next to my uncle as my mom/brothers sit beside me. My uncle and I are on bar stools while everyone else lounges on tables below us. I notice my cousin Sonia and some random chick (she looks Paki) sitting with no other than Mr. HerpDerp himself.



I find myself slightly surprised to see him there, but not surprised to see his typical herpderp smile. He chats with my cousins. My uncle starts conversing about marriage to me. We talk about how much parents should contribute to matrimonial decisions. It seems as if everyone is listening. I strongly express my utter disgust for arranged marriages and say that there is absolutely no room for parents to make any decisions. I say, "It's my choice. My. Choice." I kind of say "Choice." pretty loudly. I see that my mom is staring at me icily, while Sonia seems to have a good natured expression on her face. (She is obviously in the dream because of her rather unfortunate matrimonial decisions, that weren't well, hers) I glance over at the table and notice something weird, all of Pique's height is concentrated on his legs (he continues smiling like 8D). His upper body is really short and I find it weird that I look taller sitting up straight in my chair than him. He's like Abe Lincoln. And well, no wonder.



My uncle and I head outside because my brother must leave for the hospital or some shit like that. We discuss my graduation gift, in which I say nothing pretty much because I don't exactly expect anything from him. We're moving around seats at the side of the van and I see Pique outside as well. We smile at each other and exchange small talk. He actually seems like a really nice guy. (I wake up at some point here. I make myself go back to sleep so I can uncover some of PK's DC personality) I think we kinda hang around each other for a bit but then I go back inside the bar which seems to have transformed. It is now outside and it's night. I sit over on a small round table, and I see that there is an American soldier sitting next to me reading some literature intensely. I think it's Kafka. He seems very depressed and I get the hint that he's suffering from PTSD. I mean, I know he is. My interest is on this poor fellow now (forget PK). I move over to his table and try talking to him, mostly interested to see what lit he's reading and why. He seems very closed off and doesn't talk much. I just feel a bit sad.

I became lucid at some point, I think around the time I woke up and went back to sleep. I lost lucidity at some other point.

Non-lucid - False Awakening
Duration: Short

I was ln my bed until I realized that my bedroom's door was open because of the light that was coming from the outside. There was my dad and sister just starring at me! It could be nightmare if I was scared but my mind seemed to say "F*ck them" Then I rolled over and I pinched my nose and gained lucidity, but the dream quickly vanished and I woke up...

A funny thing, when I woke up I saw the most realistic hallucination I have ever seen: a coca-cola machine! lol

Last night I had my first lucid dream completely by accident. I had read about and always been interested in lucid dreaming, but had never been motivated enough to practice it until now.

In my dream I remember being in an dirty alley in some city. I looked around and saw a friend of mine next to me, but he had a glowing circle around his face. I remember thinking something like "What the hell? That's not normal, I think I'm dreaming." Being my first, and accidental, lucid dream I did everything wrong and began to get really excited thinking "Oh my god! I really am dreaming, I can do whatever I want! Oh my god!!!" It's embarrassing to say, but surely very common, the first thing I wanted to do was make the girl I have a crush on appear. I found it extremely difficult to control my dream, which was surprising because I always thought it was be really easy. At this point my dream was fading rapidly, and I could barely make out anything around me. I just closed my eyes and thought really intensely about her being right there with me. I managed to see her, all blurry and distorted, and I grabbed her and kissed her. It was surprising because I could feel everything, and I felt just as real when we use to date. After that all I remember is her sort of bending down as if out of breath, then nothing.

It was extremely intense and exciting. Now I really want to practice and be more able to control my dreams!!

holy shi- (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in my dad's house, if I remember correctly. I was just sitting in there, minding my own business. I noticed something strange about the environment, and I became lucid. I was so excited. I haven't had a lucid in 2 months or so. So I was very happy. Of course I wanted to have sex, but I figured it would be a waste on my first time back to the lucid dream world. The first thing I noticed was that my vision was especially blurry. It was like my vision after my eyes water. I rubbed my hands to see if that would help. It did a little bit. But I decided to just leave it. Eventually everything looked normal. There was some guy there now, and he was talking about stupid shit in the house. He pointed to some retarded thing that was on the floor in the game room. It was circular and it was a little large. It looked like a clock. Then I said, "Look at that." There was another circular object, this one, moved his body around in circles. Like a wheel. It seemed to have an eye that blinked in the distance, but when we got up close, it seemed to not even look like an eye anymore. It was very strange, but interesting.Eventually I started to wake up. I felt myself about to leave the dream. I had no time to react. I thought about sleep paralysis. I went out of the dream and I saw the back of my eyelids. I decided not to DEILD. That was it.
