lucid

Hi guys,

This dream spans through the course of seven years within the dream. Quite a bit of the daily activities had become fragmented as a result. I'll also be condensing the events so that it's more concise. The dream fluctuates between lucidity and non-lucidity. However, during lucid moments I choose to let the dream unfold on it's own.

The dream starts off non-lucid. I'm with my significant other who has passed away, I'll address as Kana. We are surrounded by whiteness. There is a false memory that we been meaning to conceive a "soul child" astrally. Kana and I are both female. Kana says it's time. The white emptiness beneath us ripples and our energies meld as we astraily conceive our soul child. I feel drained and I awake.

I look around in my bedroom without moving not realizing I'm clutching something close to me under my blanket. "A dream?" I sit up and notice an otherworldly infant in my arms. "Yes, this is my child." She opens her eyes and we gaze at each other. "Oh yes, you are Cocoa." Cocoa smiles. This is the only time she smiles in a long while.



Following months...
Over the weeks I have moments when shroud of that reality fades and I'm lucid. Adapting to a life caring for a child was hard, but I manage to get by with the help of my mom. I hold on to my secret of my lucidity to myself. I begin to see something strange with Cocoa. She seems to be completely unable to feel guilt, pity, remorse, or sympathy. She seem to have no regard for safety of those around her and she seems to crave human blood, often biting into her own thumbs to suck blood if no one else is nearby.

Soul Child
As months turn into years and my getting accustomed to this reality my moments of lucidity doesn't have much effect. I was detached with the waking and I had grown to accept that my soul child is different from others. I even feed it my own blood to satisfy it's craving. It was not before long she starts exhibiting otherworldly powers. I communicate with kana in my head as I do in waking and ask her if we made a mistake bringing this child into this world. As Cocoa grew older, the more destructive she became. Watching over her, making sure no one is harmed, was taking a toll on me. In moments of lucidity I was tron between continuing my waking life and leaving this world behind. The waking world seemed so distant. Kana assures me that this was a time-dilated experience and for the moment guiding Cocoa was all we could do as there is good in her.

One of the chilling moments of her childhood was when she asked me to rip off my eyes and give it to her because she thought they were pretty. I had told her it's not right to ask someone of that nor to expect it and there were better ways to appreciate things.

Absolution
As a 7 year old Cocoa had become more calmer and mature. For a while it seemed like she was breaking free from her shroud of madness. I been weaning off feeding her my blood and on her birthday she says she no longer thirsts for blood and apologizes with tearful eyes for all the harm she has caused and all the pets she has killed over the course of her childhood. I was relieved. She was getting stronger and stronger, it was becoming difficult to care for her when she is so powerful.

I send her to school with caution and ask for Kana to watch over her. I see something that sends a chill down my back. As I was about to leave, Cocoa was smiling. The last I seen her smile was when she was a baby. I wonder what's wrong with me. Why was I not feeling relieved by my child's smile? Something didn't feel right. I go to the mall and look around just hoping to pass the time. Something didn't feel right, but I could quite place it. I order a sandwich at a cafe and look around. I look at a ceiling lamp above me and think "I can turn it on and off by snapping my fingers". I snap my fingers lightly. The light flickers on. I snap again, it flickers off. I look around nothing has changed. Everyone is minding their own business as if completely unaware of what I had done. My phone rings startling me. It's Cocoa's homeroom teacher's number. I answer it only to receive a weak voice saying "Cocoa" followed by a shrill blood curdling scream. I rush to Coco's school already knowing what I might see. I arrive at a scene with blood everywhere. Dead bodies everywhere. I had enough of this dream. It seems Kana and I failed guiding Cocoa. Amidst the bodies stands a blood soaked Cocoa. Upon seeing me she rushes at me and clings on to me with a tight hug. Saying she was sorry over and over, saying she only reacted to darkness in their hearts. I hug her back tightly. "I'm sorry, Cocoa, we couldn't save you..." and place my hand on back of her head. Her entirety pulses and I start absorbing her into my being.

I wake up crying. I do a reality check and check my phone. It has not passed seven years. I lay back on my bed looking at the ceiling and wondering what the dream meant.

I am in my living room with a friend. I become lucid and decide to complete the ToTM "Ask your dream what would happen tomorrow in real life." I decide to use her as an embodiment of the dream and ask her, "what will happen tomorrow in real life?" She says something strange about tinfoil being put on someone's feet. (I will keep you guys posted if something like that actually happens...:chuckle:) I remember this is the last night of the competition, so I do the first thing I can think of that scores points, which is walking through a wall. I also remember super speed, which I do in circles around a room for a little while. Then a DC begins to talk to me. I keep myself focused by pushing my hand through a table, which I for some reason can't do on the first try, but then can on the second.
The dream ends.

I am on a Ferris wheel with someone else. I become lucid again and think I should do the ToTM again and maybe get better results. I can't remember her answer and I quickly lose lucidity.

I am trying to infiltrate somewhere (???) but someone else who is trying to help is messing it up. I become lucid and decide to do my second task for the three-step task, teleporting. I try to teleport outside, but halfway through I decide to instead teleport to the next room over. I do and then walk through the wall to the outside to fly. I begin to fly, and then remember that I found the dream I was having before I became lucid interesting, so I turn around in midair and see one of the DCs that was a part of it. I ask her something and she tells me to go to a certain website. I turn around to fly away again, but I forget to stabilize while in midair and the lack of sensations causes me to wake up.

Had a hell of a time getting any sleep this night. Still, I got a WILD to note. There was a lot more to it than I could remember at, the moment, though at least I'm kinda sure it wouldn't have affected the score all that much...

Long moments of meditation before and after the dream below. Better that than just shifting around restlessly...

Dream 1 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 16

Scene 1 - Forgotten Fountain
WILD transition in bed, though I lingered around a bit before finally getting up. Once I moved to the foot of the bed, I inexplicably fell through the floor and into the void. Spin to warp. I turned up near a fountain. Lots of wacky stuff occurred, but sadly, I lost all memory of that, and also lucidity at some point. Unknown transition.

Scene 2 - Atatatatatatata!
The visuals were a bit blurred. I was within a mall's lobby, the structure accomodating many supermarkets. Lucid again. I project a silvery aura, then fly to and from the extreme ends of the facility within seconds.

Later on, I passed by an artificial castle. I lost myself to random thoughts at the sight of such, particularly about Hokuto no Ken, for the place reminded me of Yuda's fortress. There were "next episode" montages where Ken fights Yuda in place of Rei.

I eventually snapped out of the trance. Now, I found myself between the aisles of an elecronic/hardware store. What's more, I was arbitrarily given the form of Kenshiro. Realizing this caused the instrumental version of Ai wo Torimodose (a climatic battle theme in the show) to sound. In response, I evoked a blue aura, and flew around to look for someone to fight. Soon, I found the villain Jagi passing by. I attacked him unprovoked with Kenshiro's Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken technique, resulting in an explosive death.

Back in the lobby. Things were fading quickly. So, I rubbed hands for two whole minutes, when the scene warped in view. Now, I was walking outside in city streets during a partiall cloudy day. I point at the largest nimbus, and try shaping it into the form of my guide, E. But, nothing seemed to happen. Things deteriorated quickly, and I wake up.

I was in bed trying to avoid a nightmare for some reason, and I knew I was dreaming. I phased through my blanket and was in a dark world. I don't know if I woke up again, but I then tried doing a reality check where I plugged my nose and air came out, so I tried to make air not come out my nose. Air kept coming out my nose and I could feel it for a while. I thought I was awake, but it was a false awakening probably. Afterwards I wanted to wake up for some reason. I don’t remember much of this lucid dream. I need to correct mistakes so I have better success. Beginning of March was when I had my greatest success. I need to replicate it. I know that when I actually did wake up, I couldn’t breathe out my nose when I plugged it with my fingers. I’m planning on giving that Headspace app a try so I can learn to not overthink.

I got a stupidly lucky DILD today. There's also several fragments.

Scrap Group 1
Several WBTBs throughout the night. I usually got kept up a bit after meditating, before drifting off unaware.

At a school's courtyard during night time.

Riding around in a highway with others. We stop by an airport, where giant fighter jets were ready for flight. The pilots were noticeably not in wearing any uniform.

At a zoo. I was observing the gorilla den, where the apes were bathing in a pond. A big commotion occurred when a male smacked a youngling, causing a frenzied brawl between him and two other gorillas.

Dream 1 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 15

The visuals were slightly blurred. I was in an unknown apartment, where a family gathering was occurring. I go through a hallway towards the bathroom, but it seemed a few people were waiting their turn to use it, including mom and aunt Harriett. The two were gossiping about something or other, and tried getting me involved. When given the chance, I snuck off elsewhere.

I stumbled into what I first assumed was a bedroom. As I went further, this expanded into a vast underground city. Anachronism ran the gamut, what with mid 20th century buildings side-by-side with flying cars and holographic displays. I felt exhausted. There was a park by a riverside nearby, where many folk were having a picnic. So, I went over there to rest under a tree.

Then, some kid interrupted my 'nap'.

"Hey!", shouted the boy, "Look over there!" He points at two large, hairy figures flying in from the distance, one carrying the other. "What is that?!"

Once they were close enough, I easily identified what these things were. "They're just flying wookies", I grumbled. "No big deal."

I got up to show off my own powers, if only to get that kid to pipe down. Suddenly, many, many other people began ascending from the streets. Most prominent among these were a group of middle-aged English women in modest Victorian era wear, whom, between their chortling, blithely admitted their part in this phenomenon. Soon, I too was levitating unintentionally. Once the surprise wore off, I realized the dream.

The ceiling had since become an open sky. I launched myself to the stratosphere, where I intentionally teleported, first briefly warping into a different city, then into a moderately-lit bedroom constructed of dark wood. Things were deteriorating. In response, I wreathed myself in a thunderous golden aura, which stabilized my form. Thinking of TOTMs, I shouted out "overclock!" I suddenly began shrinking. But, as I looked back at my hand, I found I was actually turning into a baby. The dream ends with my new form's uncontrolled wailing.

I got lucid at least twice. One of the times was more of a substantial LD. The other times were just short moments of lucidity.

In my final dream, there was this cat who bit my finger. It was like I re lived the dream 3 times. In the second part, when I got down the stairs, the cat bit my finger. I didn't know it was a dream. I didn't expect much, but it turned out that a huge chunk of skin was ripped off. I thought it was waking life, and got scared. I was really relieved when I woke up and it hadn't really happened physically.

The dream before that was my main LD. I was making some fruit juice with some people. Then I thumb wrestled a friend from school. Then I needed to find a bathroom. I went down some stairs, and I was in a sketchy train station place with public bathrooms. I found the mens room and then had a false awakening where I was sleeping in a dirt hole. Twice, that false awakening repeated. Both times, some scary group of people ran up to the hole and jumped in, and I woke up.

The third time, it started again, with me in the hole again. This time a big group of people were coming towards my sleeping hole. I realized it was a dream, and decided to face them. They required me to speak in Spanish, so I spoke in Spanish to them. My Spanish is pretty good in dreams!

I ended up joining them on a bus. I became aware that everything was hyper realistic. My vision was really sharp. I tried "deepening" which was to just rub my hands and try to rub the seats on the bus. I'm not sure if it worked, but the dream didn't end there.

We pulled into some kind of drive through food place. It was closed but there was a drive through vending machine. I had no money. There were some coins in the coin return already though. Two said Canadian on the back. Big silver coins. I rubbed the back of one and a little silver worm appeared. It freaked me out. I felt something bite my leg really hard, and woke up.

Earlier dreams don't come to mind off the top of my head. BUT I got them all in a voice recorder, so that's good enough for me.

Just as a back ground note, a small group of us as kids had a thumb wrestling thing. We used to thumb wrestle a lot, kind of as a joke. 15 years later or so, it is hard to put a word to the feeling, but the dream recaptured it. It was really cool.

Fragmented sleep with lots of wakes in hrs prior to final wake

The dream begins in a version of our current home, FA style. I wake up and look out the window seeing the new day begin. Some unusual transportation already on the move.

Couple of moments later, I find myself walking down the street with much higher awareness. I decide to act out this moment as if it were real life, creating a continuous stream of awareness from the dream to waking and the actual walking on the street much later. I look around, soak in as many details, also looking at DCs passing by. A woman with a red leather jacket stands out. My bf's DC is also accompanying me. We continue our walk down the street to cross when some cars speed towards us. I feel like I need to quickly jump ahead to avoid the impact. The motion seems to destabilize the dream or it could just be the fragmented sleep and the dream soon fades.

After waking up, I initially forget my dream idea to hold that awareness on my way to work, but recall it later on. As I go out, it's a beautiful cold sunny morning and I take in all the little details around me. With this state of mindfulness, it feels the same way it did when I had the lucid dream walking down the street.

I become lucid in the second story of a house. I decide to do my three step tasks, phasing through a solid object, teleporting, and flying. Except I forget the order and think its phasing through a solid object and then flying. I phase right through the wall to the outside and begin flying. It is dark outside, but I can see small houses below. They gradually begin getting harder and harder to see, until I wake up.

While awake I remember that I had mis-remembered my ordering and had to now teleport and then fly again. I fall asleep again.

I become lucid again and do an RC. I remember I need to teleport, so I spin and then fall backwards (this is how I usually teleport). However, it doesn't work, and I stay exactly where I am. I try again with the same results. (The lucid was clearly pretty low-awareness because I usually have no problem teleporting.) There are several DCs around, so I think maybe they're distracting me, so I leave the house by walking through a wall and use super speed to get to a small abandoned building I could see nearby. There, I try again to no avail. I try a different approach, closing my eyes and trying to summon a different surrounding. I open my eyes and find I am in the exact same place, except there are flowers everywhere now. For some reason the flowers bother me, so I will them to disappear, which they do after I look back again. I spot some chalk and think I can make a portal-door with it. I go inside the abandoned building and draw a circle of chalk around my feet. Then I jump and will myself to fall through the hole and into another location. I begin falling through and then land somewhere, and think I've done it, but then I look around and see I am in the same building. I look up and see the hole that I fell through and above that is the same room I am in now. I have effectively created an infinite loop of the room. I leave the building, my lucidity gradually slipping away, but still semi-lucid. I see a car driving down the driveway and think that perhaps if I asked the advice of a DC and then followed it, I could trick my brain into thinking that I could do it. I approach the DC and ask them what I should do. They begin to say a bunch of nonsense, but as my lucidity is already low, I continue to listen. I lose lucidity and soon wake up.

I also had 1 full non-lucid.

I was nonlucid in a grocery store with my family and other people. We were living in an apocalyptic world. Not totally trashed but taken over by other beings. I was looking for something to eat for dinner and found a salmon can that was from 2005 and another from 2007. Knowing I only had rice and some beans I contemplated eating. " Can I eat this?" I asked my dad. "When is it from" he asked. "2005 and 2007" I replied back. He said "no". " I don't care if its expired I really want to eat it...I haven't eaten any meat in a while" I mumbled to myself. I eventually put it down though and found a sausage can that wasn't expired. "Nevermind I'll just get this". I brought it to the store seller and put it down in front.

The store seller ignored me though and was drawing something on paper for another customer. I than looked to the side and saw people hiding in the corner as if they were playing hide and seek. I was annoyed as I watched the store seller leave the front and watched the people to the side for entertainment. A presence than came through the door and the room began to darken.

It felt like it was a dream world now but with real entities as if I was astral projecting. I flew out of the grocery store as the unknown figure began to blow everything in the store apart.

The dream shifted after that and I was in a car with my dad, someone else and a woman with black straight hair. She came up cause I read nebulous dream before I went to sleep. I was listening to her talk to my dad in the black jeep as we passed by mountains below the night sky. "I was going to go to PR but than I decided to stay home because I wanted ro eat some of that delicious cake"(vanilla)is what she said. At first I thought "wow, thats what I would have done too" but deep down I knew it was that she wanted to stay with her family.

There was also a scene of me coloring my character's eyes light blue, pink in the middle and light green. Forgot when it happened.

The dream than shifted again and I was now in a really huge home fit for a king. It seemed like a Museum but also a church though. Mainly cause of the tall arched walls in the dream. It felt like I was dreaming again and as i looked around I took note of a woman who announced that I would be the one to stop the guy who was causing the destruction of the world. When I felt him get closer I tried to lose his attention by flying out through the window however the world was transforming in a way that didn't allow me to.

He ended up seeing me and attacked with a wind like movement. I dodged than flew closer to the ceiling after I exited the room ro another one. It worked but he spotted me again. A female figure ended up helping me use my "clear" powers to distract him until I came up with a plan. My plan ended up being getting out of the place to go to a safer area to battle. As i exited the blocked narrow window the female figure changed into a fairy and began singing with me "row row row your boat, gently down the stream. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream" in order for me to pass through the window smoothly and gain control. She showed how happy she was that i made it but than paused and asked me why i was tearing up. I wasn't crying though.i was a little disappointed i didn't defeat him quickly.Woke up after that.

In my last dream, there was something with Dinobot from beast wars. He ran his own special base outside of the Maximals or Predacons. When my group showed up there, the dream showed Dinobot sending all the humans at his base into hiding. There was a lot more to that dream, but I couldn't remember it, even though I tried! There was something with a jail.

--

In the dream before that, I was in this car. My actual car was behind it. Somehow my actual car started running with no one in it, and drove straight into the road, by the local Laundromat. I thought some snow banks would stop it, but it went through them. I tried to follow it, honking my horn, to alert people. A big red hummer thing couldn't get out of its way. I looked for damage. There didn't seem to be any, but still, the driver was mad. It was my friend, G B. I realized it was a dream. I was like, "Wait, G B, It's a dream! We don't have to go to court! Lets just go fly!" And he was surprisingly like, "Woah, dude! Thanks for telling me! So, how do we do this?"

I said we would have to rub our hands fast. So I started rubbing my hands and the dream got a little more stable. But I was really anxious and lost the dream.

--

There was a dream with all this fighting. That was between the above two. We were pouring Ramen Noodles into the dirt because the Ramen Noodles became yellow worms that nourished the nearby pond. At one point we were forced into the military. I was mocking my friend for trying to have a fake positive attitude about it. During another part I was arming myself with a dream version of my samurai sword.

--

In an earlier part, before the car crash, it was in a school. Someone made a rap line like, "I got a place in my heart for cruel thugs. I like to give people school hugs."

--

I recorded a lot more on my voice recorder, but this is just off the top of my head. There was one really cool part I wish I remembered. I was flying around. I think I was lucid. I looked up and could see neon things in the sky. I could sense it was cool, but it was so far back in the dream, I couldn't remember. After that I was supposed to pay some land scapers 80 dollars, but they paid me 80 dollars instead.

Eventually there was something with this crazy area flat type of game, but more intense. I created a "save state" like in some emulators, within the dream, because I got to a tough point. At the end it was like these gaps I had to jump over.

Then it transformed into someone smoking a cigarette near me, and me getting mad at them. I forgot how they reacted, but it was in my voice notes.

I missed the dream sign of seeing grey smoke, but not smelling it. I even wondered where the smell was, but didn't think to state check.

--

I think there was an earlier dream too. Its all in my voice notes. I guess it will be a surprise then when I hear what it was! Oh yeah. Now i remember. My first round dreams was really blank. I think it was eventful but I had only remembered like one or two details.

Got a WILD, DILD, non-LD, and a fragment to note. Said non-LD was bordering lucidity, though I was only missing an ounce of awareness to mark it off as such.

Scrap Group 1
Walking around a park lake during a calm night.

WBTB which lead to some frustrating insomnia. Still retained enough patience for a WILD.

Dream 1 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 12 - Part 1

WILD transition in bed with blurred visuals. I felt quite dizzy. Found myself in a grey void, where I sensed something was going to chase me.

Got warped back to bed. I stumbled out the door to the lounge. The dream was deteriorating, so I spun and thoroughly rubbed my hands. I tried walking out the glass door to the back yard, but couldn't. I then spun to teleport, and indeed warped... all of eight feet to the stairs. The blurriness was getting disorienting. I uttered for clarity and brightness, to no obvious effect. Next, I walked towards the front door, which somehow got further and further away. So, I flew as fast as I could, only reaching hustling speed, but still enough to catch up. Once there, I phased through the door, first sideways, then turning forward once halfway through.

Warped again. I was outside in the balcony of an unknown building. My sight distorts to a third-person perspective, where I see myself in several side and top angled shots. Some focus realigned my vision. I tried purposefully discorporating my sight again, but this destabilized the dream, and I woke up soon afterwards.

Dream 2 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 12 - Part 2

Scene 1 - Rewind That Crash
The visuals were blurred. I falsely awakened in the trunk of a van. My cousin's husband, Felix, was driving, and my brother Doug was there as well. We were inside a parking garage, looking for a space. Eventually, we did find a place to parallel park, though it would've required some extraordinary spatial senses to fit our vehicle there. In lieu of finesse, Felix opted to brute-force the van there, heedlessly crashing the surrounding vehicles, though I jumped out before any collision occurred. Felix seemed to think this had no lasting consequences, but it was obviously not the case.

I kinda figured this wasn't real, but only in-so-much as if this was a very deep daydream. So, I practiced time control, first slowing it, then travelling backwards, just far enough before the crash. Things warped.

Scene 2 - Vs. Recoome
The visuals were blurred. I was in an episode of Dragon Ball Z. Still 'semi-lucid'. I was in Namek, fighting against the barbaric Recoom. In the blink of an eye, I was kneed in the gut, then slammed face-first through the dirt. The brute then placed me in a surfboard hold. I shook out, and responded with a backflip kick, knocking my opponent into the sky. I then fired an arcing ki-blast up at him. Before Recoome could dodge, I flew up behind him, and kicked him downward. As he fell, the projectile divided into four or five, and each shot struck true. I soon found Recoome below in a smoking crevice, barely conscious and missing both his arms.

Not too clear how this ended.

More sleeplessness before a transition.

Dream 3 - Spring Lucid Dream Competition - Day 12 - Part 3

The visuals started very blurred. I falsely awakened in bed, disoriented. Soon, I hear Burst Man's theme sounding. This prompts thoughts on prospective memory checks, yada yada yada. Cue lucididty.

I flew up as part of a reality check, then phased through ceiling. Got warped to a white void. So, I spun in place to teleport. I end up in my home's lounge, hovering in mid-air. I thought of shrinking myself, but it wouldn't of been much fun without anyone else around. So, I called my guide, E, uttering her name various times, but got too anxious when there weren't any immediate results. As I looked around, I spotted various dark-haired women mulling about. One was attending a baby, while two or three others were watching TV in the living room. It was too blurry to identify either of them as my guide, not that I sensed her presence to begin with.

Best preoccupy myself. I turned towards the door, then charged a yellow aura around me. With this increased vigor, I tried blasting off through door, but could only fly at about running speed. Still, I phased through without a problem. I ended up outside in an unknown urban environment. Forgot what else occurred. It took about a minute or so before the dream ended.

Last night, I once again found myself lucid, once again without being entirely sure how it happened. It felt like the dream was close to an hour long, although it was technically two dreams since there was a brief awakening and reentry in the middle. Because it was so long and I spent the whole thing just exploring the house I found myself in and messing around, it wouldn’t make for very interesting reading, and so I’ll just include a few highlights of it.

-Finding a series of books entitled “More Than 21 Cats” on a bookshelf.

-Devoting more attention than usual to maintaining awareness and focus. My lucid dreams almost always end with no warning whatsoever, and while I used to consider this something I couldn’t do much about, I’ve been wondering lately whether preventative stabilization might help. This intention seems to have carried over, and as the dream was longer than any I’ve had for a while, I’d call it a success.

-Receiving a few gifts for no apparent reason from people who were around. I spent a good chunk of the dream opening them, resisting the urge to go off and do other things since it seemed like that would have been ungrateful, even if it was a dream.

-Moving a wardrobe with my mind. I extended my hand, interfacing with it on a mental level—if that makes sense—and then pulled. And then I pushed it back.

-Having the dream briefly interrupted by a message displayed over the scene as if it were a screen. It was a rather ominous message, but it seemed to have no immediate effect other than turning everything in the house green and shifting some of the furniture into new styles and/or positions. This may have been a direct result of moving the wardrobe as it happened shortly afterwards, and the last time I tried to control things in a lucid dream was also closely followed by something weird and threatening happening.

-Two more visits to my M--- basement, the first before the green shift, the second afterwards to see if anything had changed. It had: the second version had a closed door where the tunnel often is in dream versions of it, as well a sort of workshop behind the same wall, visible through a couple small windows.

-Lots of cats around, but probably less than 21.

[HR][/HR]I am standing it my kitchen when something (I can't remember what) prompts me to do an RC. I plug my nose and breath in and am shocked to find that I'm dreaming. I look around a marvel at how vivid and stable my dream is (my past few lucids have been right as I wake up so they have been very unstable). I look around and see a man and a woman. I say hello and they say hi back. I don't want them to distract me so I leave the room and try and remember my goals. I remember the grass goal. I know I get extra points for teleporting, so I teleport outside. There I see a field of grass which I walk over to and sit down on. I pick a piece up and smell it (it smelled just like grass in real life, but a little stronger, it was fun to experiment with how vivid the dream can be). Then I look around and see a pizza, which I eat a slice of (I forgot the picnic basket part). I walk over to another house, trying to remember something else I could do for points. I remember transformation and while I try to transform something, another DC approaches and tells me something about the house I have gotten to. I lose lucidity.

Throughout the night I also had 3 non lucids.

After awhile the dream scene changes to a street. This guy is having a fight with another man and eventually throws him to the ground and the man thrown to the ground is now laying there unconscious. The man who threw him and I begin to run in the dark as the street lights went out. He and I continue to run as I begin to take up speed while laughing about how the wind feels against me.

That's when it occur to me that I can run faster that what I could in waking life and this triggers my lucidity. I begin running faster in till I was running in while in mid air. I then fly off telling the guy goodbye. The dream scene changes to a house where it would appear other family members like my father, aunties and cousin were residing. I get up from bed and lose my lucidity. Then a weird fluffy small animal came to me from the backyard.

-1-I don't remember anything from this LD. Later on in this dream, I parked the van in a residential area. After that, I walked down the street for about 2 seconds before I was climbing stairs at college.
-2-I became lucid for a few seconds at the tail end of a dream. The dominant color was beige.
-3-I reentered a dream, spawning in a store, before losing awareness. I looked at the lackluster board game selection on a few shelves, then left with my small, empty, useless cart. Later, I regained lucidity in a hallway, where I decided I would put my stabilization routine to the test. It was a failure, so it needed revision. (I'll be testing the revision tonight)
-F-Grandpa sat in a weird computer chair that had malfunctioning arm rests.
-F-FA. I noticed the winds were really high outside (60+ mph), so I observed at the window.
