lucid

I remember waking up in my bed, my heart pounding. I figure i had a nightmare i couldnt remember or something so i got out of bed and walked out my door and down the stairs to the main level. This is when i had a feeling it wasnt real, like some sort of trick but i didnt know i was dreaming yet. "John! Come over here now!" I was shocked, the fact that my mom was scared of me, i tried to calm her down, in my sort of spaz way(well, come on i try)" Mom your acting strange, and im not soupossed to be home yet, did i get in a accident at school or something?" Thats when my dad came storming in the room, his face red with anger, and took a knife and hit me in the chest with it, i started freaking out then. After i looked at him, then at my chest, then finnaly thought if i was in shock not to feel anything yet i passed out. I awoke in a hallway, my old schools hallway, and their was a guy infront of me, i looked down at my stomach in shock, i was cut in half, then it hit me. " Oh my god, im such an idiot right man?" As i looked at him i made him leave, and i made myself in a plane i then relized i could jump out of it, then do what ever i wanted. "Hey all you skydivers, think if i throw you out the window you would mind"

"Urr i dont know, Duh we would mind, god all the new ones are trying to make dumb jokes to comfort them selves.."

"Shut up" i hissed over at him

"Make me"

With this i thought of what i could do, then simply i walked up to him. With a swift punch in the face, his head was plowed in. I walked off smiling and jumped off the plane


Half way down i tried flying, and i couldnt. with that i woke up......tada....i dont think i made a good summary with that eh?

I WILD in My Dream! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I don't know how it was a DILD but I'll try and explain it!

My alarm goes... Beep... Beep... Beep... Slowly (This is odd because it normally does beepbeepbeepbeep... beepbeepbeepbeep.) Dad tells me to turn it off so I do and then I lay back down. Since I am so tired and dazed I notice the Pre-Sleep Paralysis feeling coming over me (Really Light Headed and Tired). I try and let it take me and I have control over my breathing. Then eventually I fall into SP I then try to WILD and sure enough I step right into a Lucid Lucid Dream that I am in my bed! (again) but my. My room walls from from the blackness of SP I then sit up and see mom across the hall sleeping and I hear dad to the left of me snoring. I Rub my hands together furiously and say "I WANT MORE CLARITY NOW!" repeatedly and then
I say it in real life in the dream because I was doing it so hard. And I wake mom and dad up. Mom said "Want a [???]" From her bed to me and then shortly after Dad did the same thing...

I don't know what they mumbled to me but I know it was the same thing!

Let me clear this up. It was a double dream. I was really asleep the whole duration of this dream. When I said I said it in real life in the dream that means I said it in my dream real life. Asleep > Dreamt I was awake > went into SP > Lucid Lucid Dreamt I was awake...

Investigation:
I went to China, possibly with my family, although, I only saw my father and one of my siblings(knew he was there). We ended up staying at some Chinese house which was also a store. We were there to investigate the disappearance of some items. I entered the bathhroom at this house which had a bath tub facing the door and a stool on the right side. What was on the left side, I have no idea. It was pretty big and oval shaped. There was also a restaurant on the left side of the bathroom. There was a large table there with some chairs.

Exploring:
I just finished talking to someone who was pretty mean to me. I think I climbed some stairs and was now standing on the roof. I was still thinking how mean she was and remembered how she flicked my head with her finger. Then I began to think why I was standing in the middle of a circular metal cage. I stepped out of it and tripped which caused me to lose my balance and move closer to the edge at which point I fell over. I could feel the air and see the ground coming up rapidly. I was pretty afraid of what will happen when I hit the ground. At this point, I felt an odd sensation take over and I was suddenly lucid. It must have been due to fear. I slowed down my fall so that I just touched the ground gently and walked away. My lucidity wasn't as strong as I would have liked. The dream skips and I'm with my family walking through a deserted park around evening time during the autumn season. I was still lucid but I following the flow of the dream. I saw a couple of gray or black skinny trees here and there. Between these trees, there was a small puddle which was filled with water. I sat near the puddle in the lotus position. As soon as I took the position, a mid-sized gray bird with a black patch running from it's head to halfway of it's back appeared and landed on my hands. I could feel his claws on my hands. Excited, I tried to get my sisters attention but a flock of birds, possibly 7 or so flew by and he ended up leaving my hand after they passed. We continued walking through the park and encountered a play structure. It's metallic in color and stood pretty tall. To reach the slide, one would have to climb the large steps, each around 75cm high and the steps are open, as in there is no metal facing your foot when you step on it. I thought it was interesting but continued walking and saw another play structure. Alas, at this point, my alarm started ringing and my vision went dark. I could feel myself waking up and eventually woke up.

Thoughts: Interesting dreams for sure. Finally, got another lucid. Not the highest quality and I didn't get to accomplish any goals, but, I might have found my dreamsign. It seems that fear is my dreamsign, but, I need more dreams with it to make sure. The park was definitely interesting though. The atmosphere was just amazing, it reminded me of some of those pc games that I used to play, something like the first STALKER game atmosphere. I keep on forgetting to do some RCs, stabilize, increase lucidity, etc.... but that likely has to do with the level of lucidity which I had no control over. Definitely excited for more LDs now

Scene Change(Void to Patio/house):
I find myself walking up a steep path which is made of large grey oval stones placed near each other. What was interesting was that I don’t recall there being any support under these stones, so, they were pretty much floating in midair. I was following my friends, 5 or 6 in total who like everyone else were fully clothed in black robes, so, all their faces were hidden. We kept walking along this path until we reached a very narrow area. We stopped and then they along with everyone there started facing to the east and sat down. I think it was supposed to be a rock concert that we were attending and the band was playing in that direction. I felt uncomfortable being in this spot since we were pretty high up and I wanted to continue walking.

If one was to continue walking this path, they would encounter a large gap followed by a large number of these rocks that formed a platform. There appeared to be a really huge window split into smaller ones extending from below behind these rocks. I wanted to continue walking, however, my problem was that there were two guys standing on the left and right side of this narrow path rendering the idea almost impossible and too risky. I decided to sit down like everyone else. After a while, I started to slip off the edge since I was really close to it and almost fell 2-3 times. I remember the fear and terror of looking below to what I recall was a black void. I was held back and prevented from falling all those times by someone from behind but was afraid that he wasn’t able to continue helping me since the last time he helped me, I was leaning over quite a bit and wasn't sure I was going to make it.

The dream skips and I think I am lucid at this point. I think I'm on the ground. I am standing on light green grass between a patio and a house. The house is on my right and patio on my left if I am facing east. The house is white with a door, but, I can’t remember any more details. The patio has what appears to be a small circular pool in its center. It’s surrounded by some white tables and chairs. There were some trees as well and the area formed a square. There were white fences around three edges, not sure about the fourth. I can’t recall much of the details for this part of the dream but I think I was lucid during it because I remember being very frustrated at my lack of control and wanting to wake up.

Thoughts: Been waiting to have a lucid dream and finally had one. I might not have liked the control part and I only recalled small parts of this dream after waking up and doing some activities, so, I almost missed it. It's quite possible that these two are infact two dreams and not related in anyway. If they are related, it's possible I became lucid after falling from the path and was teleported to that new scene but not sure what happened to cause my lucidity. I did some quick meditation before bed and have been doing RCs daily so it's possible that I'm finally getting back on track

Lucid Restaurant! (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I was in a restaurant with drew and a bunch of other people I know and I was just screwing around and having fun and I think I was doing some sort of competition thing. Then I ended up somewhere else and got some juice poured for me by some lady then I asked if she had any 2% milk she said yes in that box over there so I looked inside and got my milk. Mom had me take a melatonin. I popped it in my mouth and then went to get a drink but I couldn't swallow it! So I choked a little and hacked it up after panicking for a minute.

I was in the house doing a race thing. First I was in my room and I ran on dads bed (with dad sleeping in it) And went around the edges and then slithered through the drawer in our bunk bed that is broken (turns out it leads to the restaurant) So then I was back at the restaurant and then I thought about "My head being on the pillow in real life" And I KNEW that that would stop any lucid dreaming so I did some reality checks such as spinning around and rubbing my hands together to create friction but I didn't feel any heat...

Loose Lucid Dream (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I remember feeling myself rolling of the hotel bed I was sleeping on and I was on the floor everything was black I couldn't see. While on the floor I clenched my hands and I Felt the texture of the floor. I'm dreaming! I thought. I founf myself back on the bed and I leaped of the bed. I galloped to the hotel front door. And I uncontrollably flipped off the bathroom door as I left the room. To my right is a small crowd of people I look away while galloping down the hall then look back. I suppose it was a reality check... I find myself downstairs in the breakfast area combined with the lobby... I uncontrollably say are you here for the homosexual convention? And then I kiss a guy that is sitting on a yellow flower-ish couch *ew*... I find myself back on my bed...

Different Tests:
I started this dream out as lucid, unfortunately, I can’t remember how I became lucid. I think I was in some fantasy land, just have that feeling because I can’t exactly remember the land, etc…. but I decided that I wanted to fly. At this time, it was dark and I had a friend nearby, so, I told them to look up at the sky. I could see the moon in a crescent shape and it was rising up pretty rapidly into the sky. At this point, I decided that I wanted to see the sun so that when I fly, I can see the landscape and just didn't like the dark in general. Suddenly, rays of yellow sunlight penetrated the air from behind us. It was kinda odd having the sun and the moon at the same time but I never turned around to see the sun itself, just saw the rays. I think I got distracted a bit, because, I ended up deciding to try some elemental attacks. There was a metallic cube with a circle in it that was floating infront of it which I decided to try some attacks on. I started with electricity and I pointed my finger at the cube. It didn’t work at first but then I said “this is my dream” and tried again. I could seem blue sparks come out at the end of my finger. Since I was mostly interested in seeing it work, I was satisfied and decided to try fire next. Again, my fingers were pointed at the cube and the circle and it’s surroundings were engulfed by the flames. Finally, I tried to freeze it and it froze, since, I could see the ice, bubbles in it, reflections, etc…. I wanted to get somewhere and wanted to teleport but decided again it in fears of the dream ending, since, I lost my lucidity in my last LD, so, I decided to fly.

I decided to try and float at first, so, I sat in the lotus position and concentrated hard and could feel a strange tickling sensation in my feet but nothing happened. Then I decided to go buy a flying pill. I went to some large store, but, don’t remember how I got there. I didn’t have any money, so, I picked up what looked like a penny sized object from a nearby slot. When the previous customer left, I walked beside them and somehow acquired 2 coins which looked slightly bigger than my penny. Funny enough, I think the cash opened on my side since I remember walking and it just came out and hit me, so, I put it in. I asked the guy(I think it was him) on the counter about flying pills and if they had them and he said that they ran out. He was also wearing a blue uniform similar to walmart but it was only the top portion and no writing on it. I was suspicious and felt like he was hiding them from me, so, I went to the next counter which was conveniently placed around a corner. Between the two counters, there was some shelves behind some glass which had purchasable items on it such as food, etc…. I looked back at the first counter to make sure that he wasn't looking this way since he was doing some something at the back and then looked at her. I think she was wearing glasses but that’s all I can recall. I asked her for some flying pills but she also said that they ran out(must be really famous pills). I started to ask if any of their other stores have some and pointed at another store which was in the same plaza across from us. I think she mentioned that it was also sold out as well, so, I asked if any other stores had some, but, before she could answer, I told her that I’ll look around. I returned home and I recall just walking from the store as if it was near my house(I think it was across from it).

I was a bit disappointed but noticed a black guy who was wearing a grey t-shirt in his early 20s follow me. I knew him in the dream and I think he was one of my roommates. Anyways, I walked back home and went upstairs. The walls were colored light purple which interesting enough looked nice and just seemed to fit. The stairway was on the narrow side and seemed a bit cramped but would fit two people easily. After walking upstairs, I decided to walk back down and meet him on the stairs since I knew what he had with him(call it dream psychic). He told me about the flying pill and gave me two things, a pouch(I think it was that, can’t exactly remember what it was) and a sleeping pill which looked like a small pill which had a grey metallic color and had two wings on each side. I thanked him a lot and got the feeling he didn’t want me to lose my mind(what a great DC, lol). I went outside and ended up doing something first(distracted again I guess) but I lost the pill and started to look around for it in the grass. I couldn’t find it and was disappointed yet again. At this point, I remembered that I didn’t need the pill, so, I went back inside my house to create some wings. I sat down, possibly on a box in the dark and concentrated on imagining them and how I would look with them on as well as possible. The wings were to be large, grey, similar to what I’ve always seen wings appear like in movies, anime, etc…. After a while, my shoulder area felt a bit strange as if something was growing and then I started to feel like there was a good amount of pressure there and that I needed to do some pushing of my own. I was thinking of looking into a mirror after they were fully grown but never got the chance.

Thoughts: Well, my third LD and I was definitely more conscious than my second one, can't really compare to first since that was too long ago. This LD was soooo long, even within the LD, I remarked to myself "This LD is really long, I don't think I'll remember it all" and I was right. It took a good amount of time to recall and piece together the different events and I got distracted a couple of times, kinda makes sense since I've been reading about people being distracted from their specific goals. I think this occurred in my 4th or 5th REM cycle, thus, the length

I was apparently lucid somehow, and I had it in my mind that I was going to jump off a bridge - you know just to see what would happen. So I'm clinging to the side of the bridge (because apparently all bridges have ladders on the side of them) and I'm looking down thinking Dang that's a long ways down, so I go down the ladder a little further. A guy and his friend yell up to me and ask me what I'm doing. I tell them that I'm gonna jump off this bridge here. Right. He tells me that if I wait until July 4th to jump off the bridge then he'll video tape it. Well that sounds like a good deal to me, so I do one last reality check and find that I have 5 fingers on each hand. Good thing that I didn't jump off the bridge cause apparently I wasn't dreaming!

Adventure in the Mansion:
I was supposed to get home by 7:30am since I had a contest to go to(fighting or wrestling with a friend for the championship). I was walking on the sidewalk and somehow I lost my pants so I was walking around with brown shorts in the street and I personally didn’t like that in the dream. As I sped up my pace, I noticed that near the gas station near my house, there was a huge white castle or possibly mansion since it was a mixture of the two. It was white, had large windows and a small pentangonal top tower similar to what you find in castles. It also had a large fence around it which extended around the gas station. There was a large tree on the left side of the fence. As I was walking towards it, a bus full of school children came near the left side of the house and starting dropping them off by the dozen.
Wanting to avoid this chaos, I continued walking towards the right side of the house which was its back. As I moved further back, I realized that the fence was enclosing the whole house and that I was trapped. Instead of moving back, I continued forward and noticed some guy trying to escape as well. I can’t remember much details about him, other than he was tall and had a small beard. We ended up walking together into some long hallway and towards the end of it, there was a white metal door which was a bit rusted and had a metal bar across as if closed. The guy tried to open it but it was locked, since, he was unsuccessful. Then we saw some lady at the start of the hallway walking towards us, so, I tried and unlocked the door and we got in just time. The door them magically transformed from a white metal door to a more transparent white wooden door. There was some glass in the door similar to the ones you see at the entrance of most homes nowadays, so, we were able to see that she was still waiting outside the door, so, that way was ruled out.
Looking for a place to escape, we came across 3 doors in that room. I can’t recall what awaited behind the first door, but, the second door had a living room in it. It had sofas and couches that were red in color and they seemed to be of the expensive variety. For some reason, victorican comes to mind. There was also a large white framed window, but, it was a bit translucent, so, only light was getting in. Finally, there was a table under the window with a lot of cash on it(couple of bundles with $1000 bills). Funny enough, within the dream, I looked at the money, saw it and while I wanted to take it, decided that I didn’t care about money at the moment. I then went to the final room with this guy. I was gonna open the third door, but, I knew there was something behind it that I didn’t want to see. I looked at him with the “I’m worried” expression and he reciprocated my feelings through his eye language. I open it slowly and next thing I know, I just hear knives dropping on the floor. I think I moved back to avoid them otherwise I would've been lunch. There were other things as well but I can only remember hearing the sounds and then seeing a knife pointing at me in the top level(3 levels) behind this door. That took us completely by surprise and I quickly closed it. At this point, I decided to check if I was dreaming. I tried the nose RC but I couldn’t breath. I think I might have also tried the hand RC but it might have also failed. As I walked back into the living room, I still wasn't convinced and tried to RC again(can’t remember which one, possibly hand RCs, since I do those often). It must have worked because I recall saying that "I'm dreaming", so, I said I know how to get out of here. I put my hand on his shoulder and teleported us out of the mansion to my house. At this point, I told my mom that we have a visitor. The dream skips and next thing I know, I am asking my mom about the time and she says that it's 11:45 which meant that I missed my competition and obviously forfeited the match. I got a bit angry and told her that I wasted my lucidity to try and make this competition.

Thoughts: Gotta love your dream self. You made me lose lucidity within the dream and then the knife thing was pretty funny when it happened, took me by surprise In terms of consciousness, I would say that I was more conscious in my first LD than this one since I didn't feel the change of conscience

(Lucid from the start)I find myself in a large airy and light tower. A DCish robot that looks like a wine bottle cork {Which I will call CorkBot from here on} appears. He teaches me how to fly.
--LATER--
I'm in my parents' old kitchen attempting to show off my new powers to some random person.

-NOTES-
Somehow, I get the odd feeling that CorkBot may be my DG.

First Totally Stable Lucid (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I fell asleep in the late afternoon after having a shower and listening to my ipod for about an hour. I didn't attempt to WILD, in fact I didn't even intend to fall asleep.

I know there was a dream which led me to becoming lucid, but I can't remember what it was. Recall isn't the best today. The first moment of lucidity I can recall was me sitting in the passenger seat of my mum's car (purple Renault Megane). My mum was driving, and somebody else was definately there, but I have no idea who it was, never turned round to look. We were in a multi-story car park (Castlecourt car park, for anyone in Northern Ireland!) As soon as I realised I had finally achieved being independantly aware in a dream, everything started to fade out. I remembered reading on the DV forums that a good way to stabilise a dream and increase vividness is to handle and feel an object, get your senses involved. I quickly glanced around the car's dashboard and could see nothing. I noticed the car's radio, and desperately pressed the "tape eject" button. To my enormous relief, a gray tape popped out, and I turned it over in my hands for about 30 seconds, keeping me in the dream.

The most amazing thing about this was that it was a conscious decision to slowly lift and move my arm to the button. I could feel my arm muscles working and all the while I was thinking, "This is amazing, it's like I'm in another dimension, and completely asleep!" I felt like it took a bit of mental acrobatics to seperate my awareness of my actual body from my dream body, and moving my arm consciously was slow, like learning to walk.

The radio then activated itself and "Back in the U.S.S.R." by The Beatles came on. Strangely, this was the very first song (of about 25) I listened to in my ipod session earlier, but it put me in a really positive mood. My mum started to drive towards the barrier at the exit and started talking. Then I saw she had the head of my 14-year-old brother and was talking in his voice. I wasn't having him driving the car! I rotated his head 90 degrees round to me by grabbing its top. I looked at him and shook my head in exasperation at the weirdness that was invading this previously normal situation. I entertained myself by singing along to "Back in the U.S.S.R." and bobbing my head in time.

I had the first of several false awakenings here. I only realised they were false awakenings when I woke up for real at the end- I was then surprised to be sleeping in a different place than I expected from my false awakenings.

Where I woke up was weird indeed. It was a dingy, underground, but well-lit basement. The bed I was in was slightly above the level of the floor, and there was a kind of computer terminal on the rusty platform beside it. The computer terminal was playing the same Beatles song. I thought I had woken up for real (Weird how the brain makes unfamiliar places seem familiar just to trick you into thinking you've woken up, creating a bizzare dream-within-a-dream scenario.) Another of my brothers was walking around the huge basement room talking to someone round the corner. Since I was still in a deep state of relaxation (in this first layer of dreaming), I was able to fall right back into the same dream. (second layer) This time nothing happened at all and I just listened to the music for a bit, happy that I'd managed to get back in.

I experienced another false awakening, but this time I had my head under the covers in a totally different position. I wondered, "Should I have been able to have moved in my sleep? Should sleep paralysis not have stopped me?" My brother was still walking around talking belligerantly, and the music was blasting now. I got up, and ate a cake. Yes, straight out of the blue. There was a cake sitting beside the computer teminal. It was small, only about 6 inches across and was full of jam, really sticky. It was absolutely delicious. Best cake ever. Part of me thought "I'm never getting back to sleep", but I decided I would be able to if I had been dreaming that I was dreaming. i.e. loud things in dreams would not stop you sleeping in dreams. Turns out I was right and I went to sleep almost right away.

This time I went to find a girl I remembered from a non-lucid dream I had earlier. She was blonde and awesome, but of course, completely made up. I'll censor the next few minutes for the sake of decency! Unfortunately, I decided NOT to have full sex with her because I was genuinely worried I would start sleep-thrusting in my bed, and that could be embarrassing if anyone walked in... (I remembered that my real bedroom door had been left slightly open) By the way, any readers of this, does that happen??? I'm pretty anxious to know!!

I had yet another false awakening to the basement room. I must have been nearly ready to wake up for real here because I had occasional flashes of awareness of my own body in bed. Once, I could really feel the numbness of sleep paralysis. To try and anchor myself in the dream-world and avoid unneccessary waking, I climbed around the edges of my dream-bed (which bacame extremely long suddenly :S), feeling the wood which made up the frame very carefully. Not long before I woke up, I opened my real eyes, and I could see an image of my wall on top of what I could see in the dream, which was pretty crazy.

Can't wait for the next one!

So last nite, I had 3 seperate dreams that I remember. I don't kjnow which order they went in thogh. In the one i became lucid in I was talking to a friend. all of a sudden some black ooz falls on my arm and it starts spreading, i told my friend it was the creature Venom from spiderman. I became lucid and let it cover my body. I jumped 50 feet ijn the air a few times and landed on the roof of a car driving on the street, i picked it up and threw it. i then jumped 50 feet in the air into a park and triedshooting out black webbing and some guys there butnothing would come out and i lost lucidity. In the next dream I was at a school gym but it was decorated for my wedding. But it wasn't the actual wedding it was the rehearsel. All the guests were there and I realized it was a little off butdid nothing about it. I walked myself out into the isle, not with my parentsbecause inreal life i can't depend on my parents to come. i stoped a little bit in the room and eople started flooding in behind me and paid no attention to me, they kept pushing me trying to get in. At that moment i realized i forgot to tell 2 people that were standing up in my wedding to come. my brother who is my best man and my friend. and felt like I had just wrecked the wedding.For some reason we were at some spiritual get together in a city like milwaukee. me, my gf and some people from church and my parents and i believe some of my brothers were there. they were all getting alongexcept for my dad and my mom cuz she tags along with me dad in everything he does. right after worship ended a lady who was leading it turned to my dad and said "I challenge you to get in touch with people and emotions, do you agree?" and my dad stood there without saying anything for a while. just thinking. After a few minutes my dad agreed and I became very happy. I thought to myself "my dad is changing!" in real life my parents and I don't have much to do with eachother anymore because they don't like that I'm not living up to their standards anymore.

Last night, or rather this morning, I had a LD consisting of primarily family matters. Mainly passed away relatives and other personal sorts. I am only posting this here so it logs that I had a LD today. I will say though, that I spun 3 separate times to prolong the dream, all of which worked until I was awoken by thunder. (That's a new record for me)

The Ultimate Fighting Monster VS lucid max's Group. A three way shared dream!

Rating : ★★★★★★★★★★

Date : 7th of June, 2010

Absolutely the most EPIC dream of my entire life. I came home after not sleeping for an entire day and a half from a trip, and was unbelievably tired. After a good meal and a hot shower, I went straight to bed. My muscles were so tired that I need not practice any relaxation, the bed was heaven for me at that time. There was my cousin, about 9 or so, who had also gone to the trip with me, sleeping in the same room as me. It took all my might not to fall asleep, and I had to use a beeping light to keep myself conscious.
I kept looking at that small blue beeping light, concentrating on clearing my mind of thought. Perhaps after 20 minutes, I couldn't bear it any longer. My eyes were closed half-way. They remained like this for a minute. With my other half of the eye, I say that the beeping light had changed to a steady light, and the color was now green instead of blue.
Thinking I might be in a dream, I got up, extremely slowly. I first flexed my dream muscles, getting used to the sensation. As I transferred to my dream body, I noticed that I was suddenly a lot lightheaded, as if some kind of burden was relieved from me. I smiled. After all, my dream body was way more fit than my real body, which is pretty good by itself.
I got up from my bed. My eyes were now glued halfway. I could not open them, and closing them was all too easy. Fearing that the dream would end if I closed my eyes, I forced the open using my hands to pull the eyelids upwards. I succeeded. I saw a sudden bright light. I was again on a grassy hill, with only a few trees that were a good distance away. This landscape occurs so much in my dreams that it could be a dream sign.



I kept looking around. The simplicity of the current landscape allowed me to stabilize my dream easily. Then, I started to feel hear and there, activating my sense of touch all over my dream body. When it was good enough, I took some deep breaths, and listened to the sounds around me. I could hear the wind blowing steadily, and the distance chirping of a bird. The sky was blue, with a few clouds, but there was no sun, or any kind of source of illumination, for that matter. This only reinforced my lucidity. I started chanting under my breath, saying "This is a dream." over and over again. I find that this helps me keep my lucidity for long periods of time.
BOOM!! A resounding explosion. A blast of fire and smoke issued in an instant on my right side. There was something there. I looked there, and recoiled in horror.
There was an abnormally huge monster to my right, some hundred meters away. I was the height of a skyscraper, and was at least the width of four trailer trucks. It was all scaly and dark brown. It had no visible head, just a pair of eyes, a nose, and a huge mouth near it's front. There were numerous thin arms along his sides, and there were huge pores on his skin that were firing hydrogen bombs! It reeked of death and decay, and the stench filled my nostrils. It was making noises which were something like a Tyrannosaurus Rex bellowing. The whole thing was disgusting.



Suddenly, I heard a terrified scream. Crouching nearby was my little cousin, shouting with all his might. It did not occur to me then that it could be his dream. I went to him, and saw that he was very badly scared, and could hardly talk. Then it suddenly hit me. Either I am in his dream, or he is in mine. To tell him from a DC, I tried talking to him.
"Hey, it's all right. It's okay. It's just a dream."
He looked at me with big eyes.
"..........but......I just saw you eaten by that monster, Max."
"No, that was a fake me. This is the real me. You know, this is a dream. Just a freakin' dream."
"Dream?.......Then that means.........it's all not real?"
"No, you are just inside a dream. As soon as you wake up, it will be fine."
"Then..........this thing can't hurt me?"
"No, not in the slightest."
"This is so awesome! I can't believe I was scared to death a moment ago."
"Yeah. But you wait here, I will take care of that monster. Try to feel around a bit, and don't do anything too exciting. You wanna stay in the dream, right?"
"Yeah."
He obeyed, and then felt the grass around him. I had told him of lucid dreams before, and he was doing what I had told him, stabilizing and trying to make the dream clearer.
"What's up with you?!!", screamed someone from behind me.
I turned around. It was Leona. She was wearing a black full body armor, with purple linings on it. She looked extremely hot in it.



"What?"
"Are you blind?!! Can't you see that thing there?!! And you are standing here teaching a nine year-old how to stabilize his dream!! You know, that thing just destroyed my summer apartment!!"
"Whatever. I'll make you a new one soon."
"Well, do something about that thing!"
"Okay, boss." I say sarcastically, and fly off, using the zoom method, near to the head of the monster.
"Hey buddy! I can't have you ruining my dream scape here! Sorry but I will have to kill you!"
I calmed down. Excitement is a dream killer. Focus on defeating him. I summoned my sword, again feeling that rush of power along with it.
BAM!! And hand had grabbed me when I was not looking, and slammed me into a wall. The pain was incredible. I almost woke up from it.
"MAX!!" I heard Leona scream.
She flash stepped to my side, cut of the monster's arm in an instant with her own sword, and freed me. There was an expression of concern on her face.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah......" I said, while coughing up blood.
There was a vigorous movement. The arm that had been slashed was moving. Suddenly, three more arms sprouted out of it. Leona reacted quickly. She grabbed me, and flash stepped to a good distance away.
"No shit. This thing can regenerate. What the HECK does this kid dream about?!"
"He's my cousin."
"Figures."
"Hey MAX!!!" Another voice from behind me. It was one of my classmates and my childhood friend. I shall not mention any names here, for the sake of her privacy.
"Guess what?! I tried FILDing tonight and it worked. My FIRST lucid dream."
Her words took me by surprise. Then, it hit me. ANOTHER shared dreamer? That means, me, my dream guide, and two other dreamers, all in the same dream?
I looked over to my cousin. He was now trying to fly, jumping in the air.
"What's up with you, Max?" says my classmate. "Oh, I forgot, you're just a DC aren't you? Well? How does it feel to be a DC?"
"Hey...............wait........ I am not a DC. This is the real me, I am having a lucid dream as well."
She was totally shocked.
"What THE HELL??!!!"
"Yeah, somehow, you came into my dream. I am lucid now."
"This is sooo COOL!!! My first lucid is a shared!"
She was too excited. She fainted, and slumped to the ground. She was just a beginner, after all. She woke up, after that.
"Oh well. So long for her." says Leona. "Max, it will be very easy for you to share dream if she learns to lucid dream. Her energy signature is very similar to yours."
"Really?"
"Yeah. But we have this THING to take care of, first."
The monster bellowed once more. Taking a lesson from my friend's sacrifice, I stabilized my dream again.
I looked around. My cousin was no longer here, it was just me and Leona. So much for the shared dream.
Whatever. I touched the tattoo on my arm. I underwent the same vampire transformation again. I turned into a vampire, holding my sword in my hands.



I used my wings to fly. I flied at full speed at the monster. Immediately, long, tentacle-like arms came up to counter me. I slashed smoothly at them. They fell to the ground with loud thuds. But then, over more sprang out. The arms were getting more and more hideous.
A violent flash of bright, purple light. The monster screamed in pain. Deep slashes appeared all over his body.
I tried something different that I have been thinking about for a while now. Summing up my energy, I shouted, "BANKAI!!! Espada el Diablo!!" (literally means 'The Devil Sword')
A wave of pure darkness followed my words. My sword began to shake violently, and then, it shattered, like a piece of fragile glass, into a million little fragments. The fragments continued to shatter, until they were no more than shadows. Dense shadows.
They filled the entire space. It was pitch black, but I could still see everything around me.



"Cool. Nice technique. But what the heck does it do?"
Leona was behind me. She had transformed into a vampire, too. She had white wings, pale white skin, the same blood red, cat-like eyes, and claws. She also had fangs, something which I didn't.



"Um......I haven't figured out yet. Hey, Devil J! (short for Devil Jin, the spirit that resides in my sword.) How the fuck do I use this thing?"
"Shut up, asshole! Just use your hands to direct the shadows at the enemy, and see what they do!"
I lifted my hands. The shadows moved like a pointer on a screen directed by the mouse. I moved them over to a tentacle. The swallowed it, and when they moved away, there was absolutely nothing there! I was totally shocked.
"Resets space and time in a certain area to null. Use it wisely."
Awesome! I was so excited. I made the shadows multiply. They grew and grew, and swallowed up half of the monster. It's whole lower body was gone. Wiped out of existence.
"Great, Max. Now here's is my new technique. I have been working on it for a while now."
She touched her own sword's blade. It began to glow. It glowed quite violently. Then, huge flames erupted from it. The grew and joined, twisted and bent, and formed a huge phoenix.



The phoenix screeched. The monster had grown it's body back to normal again, perhaps even larger. The phoenix flapped it's wings, and started to dive towards the monster. It collided with the monster, and liquid flames came out from it. The whole thing dispersed, and the monster was swallowed by an unstoppable mass of flames. It was exceedingly hot.
"Thats not all."
"HUH?! You have something more than that stuff? You GOTTA be kidding me.
I was amazed by all this, finally learning a new power, then seeing that whole blast, and then the news that she had more to go. Too excited, perhaps, because I woke up.

I haven't had a lucid dream after this one yet. I will update my DJ as soon as I get one. I do have many non-lucids, but I don't post them here, only the exciting ones. Please don't forget to rate and comment! And if you see any spelling mistakes, please let me know. And oh, by the way, I checked with my friend and cousin about my dream, but they have no recollection after the time they lost lucidity. I used their references to patch up what I had forgotten in the first part.

From Raven Knight's Journal:
Note: I had a whole one night WILD streak… lame. I didn't succeed in a WILD tonight, and my goals were pretty much the same as last night. I have a list of goals I am working on, tonight was to be focused on sharing a DDO dream with Tigress and unlocking the book from the Akashic Records, and viewing a dream MoSh had where he told me don Juan left a message for me if I can find it. Hmmm… one out of three ain't all that good!

I was in bed. I sat up and looked at the clock. It wasn't on. Damn… power outage. Now I would have to reset the clock and the alarm… fortunately there wasn't anything I particularly had to get up for the next morning. I lied back down on my pillow, but then my pillow squirmed from underneath my head, hissed at me, then jumped down and left the room. Oops… that was a cat… and apparently she didn't appreciate being used as a pillow. I sat back up, thinking I should do a RC before going back to sleep. My RC revealed that I was dreaming.

Ok. My first goal was to have a DDO dream with Tigress. To do that I would first find Tigress. I focused on locating her and opened a portal. A portal opened, I went through it. On the other side of the portal I was in a strange place. It looked like a dungeon of some kind. Was Tigress already in the DDO dream? Because this definitely looked like a possible DDO dream… I looked around to see if there was anyone else there with me. I wasn't alone. There was a man and a woman there with me. I looked at them… Tigress and MoSh. I said hello to both of them and gave each of them a hug. We were all together in a DDO dream!

Ok. I wasn't sure what the goal was, and neither was anyone else it seemed, so the first thing to do was to just explore the dungeon. The three of us began looking through the dungeon. There were enemies there. We came across a group of kobolds.

I formed Witchblade into a sword and fought them in the manner I would fight them in a true Dungeons and Dragons game. Tigress also had a sword, MoSh was just beating the shit out of them… A bit farther along the dungeon we found a group of orcs. We quickly dispatched of them, as well. They had been guarding a door. Unfortunately the door was locked, and none of the orcs had the key… so we headed in the other direction. A few more battles with kobolds… this was proving to be quite a fun dream… and then we found an encampment of kobolds. There were quite a few of them, and we covered each others' backs as we took them all out. The sheer number of kobolds in the room made this a bit more of a challenge than the previous fights. A couple of them seemed stronger than the average kobold, too. When we finished, there was a chest in the back of the room. All of us went to the chest and opened it. There was an array of treasures in the chest, gems and gold, and there was a cool looking sword. Tigress looked at her own blade, which was charged with elemental fire energy, and kept it. I looked at my blade, Witchblade, and I kept that. I handed the sword to MoSh since he didn't have one. We gathered the gems and treasure, the last item in the chest was a key, Tigress grabbed the key and then we left the room through the same path we had entered it through.

The three of us made our way through the passages back towards the locked door. Most of the passages were empty, but there was a hidden door that had opened. Kobolds were swarming out of it to ambush us as we tried to return to the locked door. MoSh, Tigress, and I all engaged the kobolds in battle and we were victorious. Dead kobolds now littered the ground. The three of us continued until we found the room with the locked door, which was still littered with the bodies of fallen orcs. I thought about the fact they disappear in DDO, but apparently not here. Tigress had the key and she unlocked the door. We all went through it.

On the other side of the door we were in a larger chamber. There were distracted orcs in the room. I wondered what they were doing… Tigress snuck up on one and killed it with one strike. That alerted the others. We got into another battle. We fought our way through the orc infested chamber and over to a narrow passage out the other side.

The orcs didn't seem to stop coming. Kill one, three more came in. Once we were all in the passage, we slammed shut a stone door and barred it from the other side. Good. I could hear orcs pounding on the door, but it was holding up to their pounding quite well. They wouldn't be following us down this passage.

The narrow passage was dark and ominous. It was creepy. There were spider webs on the sides of the passage, and that just made it look even creepier. The three of us finally reached the end of the passage. We were now in the largest chamber yet. There was a path around the chamber about halfway up the wall, and ladders led down to the bottom of the chamber. Tigress swapped her sword for a flame bow. She said she would cover us from above, because this looked like a trap. MoSh and I climbed down into the pit… and sure enough, it was a trap. The far wall of the chamber collapsed, and a giant spider came into the room. It was HUGE. And it looked pissed. A bunch of smaller spiders also came. By small I mean about the size of a German Shepherd… compared to the big one which was about the size of an elephant… We got into a fight with the spiders.

I fought my way through a lot of the spiders. MoSh apparently decided he didn't want to mess with the blade and changed into a large winged cobra. Tigress was up on the ledge, and she was proving to be deadly accurate with her arrows. One arrow pierced the head of each of the dog sized spiders she aimed at, and that made the spider burst into flames. She had cleared my way to the big spider. I went in quickly, aiming for one of its legs. The spider shot web at me. I cut through the web and then through its front right leg. The leg was hanging on by skin. Tigress fired a couple of arrows into the big spider. There were poofs of flame where the arrows hit, but it didn't kill the spider. The spider turned and fired web at Tigress. She dodged to the side of the web. While the spider was distracted, MoSh bathed it in green flames. The whole spider was flaming. I was attacked by some dog-sized spiders. I ran them through with my sword. A stream of web was aimed for Tigress. I intercepted it and cut it down. Tigress nailed two dog-sized spiders trying to jump on me from behind. MoSh had bitten the huge spider… yuck… I didn't envy MoSh. Enough playing around with this boss. I jumped to a pile of crates, to a taller pile of crates, and onto the spider's back. I ran Witchblade right into the spider's head. As the spider turned, one of Tigress' arrows went in to one of the spider's eyes and disappeared completely. Whether due to the poison, the sword in the brain, or the flaming arrow through the eye and into the brain, the spider finally collapsed and burned into a pile of ashes.

MoSh turned back to normal. Tigress came down to join us. There was a chest in the middle of the room where the spider had fallen. We went there to open it. We all opened the chest together and looked in. There was a treasure inside it. There was also a strange blue orb. I wondered about the orb. Did it have magical properties? I picked up the orb to look at it. There were words written deep within the orb. I looked closely to see what was written there. The words said, "This is a dream." Wtf? Oh, well… this was a dream DDO level… what else had I expected. I passed the orb around and everyone had a good laugh about it before I woke.

From Waking Nomad's Dream Journal:
I break the dreams up into a group of dream-bubbles. Each dream has about four or five people in it. They all have the same basic adventure.

They are flying on individual reindeer in winter over mountains. They spot a cave. They land to explore it. They go in. There are shadow goblins hiding waiting to pick off stragglers. They battle some of the minor DC's, and get some cool power ups, like mantra balls.

They finally find me in the center. I am guarding a giant mantra ball of lucidity.

I am a giant CYBORG SPIDER SATAN CLAWS.

Most of them kick my ass, but some of them PARTY DIE EPIC PHAIL. and have to start over. HAHAHAA.
