    Lucid Dreams

    1. #1 - Lucid Burglary & Fragments

      by , 06-15-2016 at 02:34 AM
      Background

      I'd known about lucid dreaming for a long time, but it took longer for me to experience it, and it was essentially spontaneously. I'd found I could accidentally go through a WILD-like trance when struggling to fall asleep after waking up early. The dreams would start off at a distance, like a television screen, and then become 'real', often as dream chains that I had some conscious influence over. Sometimes they were fragmented (e.g. being frozen in darkness, having very blurry vision, or the only sensation being the feeling of flying very fast), but now and then the clarity and reality of the scenes I experienced would blow me away. Still, I was unable to stabilise them. A few days ago I discovered that spoken commands like 'increase lucidity' could turn a vague fragment into a full-fledged visual scene, which was encouraging.

      Waking Myself Up From A Burglary Dream

      I'd told myself that I would write up any dreams I'd have that night and post them to DV for my first entry, so it's only fitting that I ended up having my first (semi-)lucid nightmare. After waking up in the morning and went back to sleep, I had a dream where I was sitting around a table with a few people, including, I think, a family friend. I was concerned about an exam that was coming up. I was worried that a question about acid-base chemistry was going to come up; something involving a base in ammonia, and I was sure that it was some other substance than the ammonia itself - NaBH4 or NH4OH. But the exam was cancelled because of an outbreak of 'parainfluenza', and this news was accompanied by the image of a woman with sore-looking yellow eyes. Since it was cancelled, I could rest easy and go to sleep.

      This led into another dream where I was at home in the night, looking down the stairs so that I could see an area near the front door. I heard noises near the front door and looked closer. There was a fairly short man standing there. I thought it was my father - though I wasn't expecting to see him - so I called out to him. Rather than respond in kind, he shushed me, and I realised that it was an intruder. More of these intruders came through, so I retreated into a nearby empty room. At this point I began to suspect something was off. I thought I might be dreaming, but if so I wanted to wake up, so I could be sure and not have to worry about the intruders anymore. This wish suddenly ended the dream. It was replaced by text filling my field of view, being read off by a calm male voiceover. It said something along the lines of, "Welcome to your lucid dream. Wake up now or wake up dead in two weeks." At the time I think I had enough critical faculties to not be sure if this was right, but I realised I was in sleep paralysis and I really wanted to get out of it. I found that, surprisingly, I could slightly move my body with great effort. With what felt like a lot of willpower, I forced myself to move and woke up.

      There wasn't any lingering feeling of terror, which is my usual criterion for a nightmare, but I think this fit the bill, if only because it made me realise that a semi-lucid dream could still be unpleasant.

      Video Game Fragments

      I was watching a boy playing a FPS game, switching between my view of him and a view inside the video game itself. He was clearing a large building with many corridors similar to a hospital - of what enemy I don't know - and then went up a curved staircase, which had many offices running alongside it, arranged in a staircase fashion themselves. The general aesthetic was wood and blue light. By entering this area he went into a sort of mini-game where he blitzed through the offices at high speed, which also involved strips of light flashing on his mousemat very fast. I thought it involved predicting the lights, but when I asked he told me that it was actually a very fast memory game, which observation seemed to confirm.

      I thought about the idea of being sleep-deprived from addiction to virtual reality. I imagined a person distracting themselves from their tiredness by immersing themselves more into it. I have a dream in which I see scenes from an online FPS game called Xibalba, which I think actually represent a place within one level. Bizarrely, I also pondered the merits of a religion that worships the electron transition in one type of molecule (containing nitrogen!) versus a rival religion that worships another.
    2. Bonus Task Of The Month June 2016

      by , 06-15-2016 at 02:15 AM (The Dream Adventures of MadMonkey)
      I had 3 dreams in a row that were one continuing story even after I did WBTB and tried SSILD. I don't want to share that one because it became a bit personal. I think that is why it was persistant, because I was invested in the characters and that world. All I'm going to say is that I think the DCs in my dreamworld think I have a memory disorder or something. Every time I become semi-lucid I seem to forget the dream world and remember the waking world which they see as dillusions. When I loose lucidity I forget about the waking world and often other parts of the dream world.

      The Washing Machine(DILD)

      NON-LUCID LUCID OTHER

      I am running through traffic after someone. I see them take an exit and jump up to climb over the wall of the freeway. As I am hanging I think I should just fly after them. This makes me lucid "Stop, I'm dreaming you need to let them go.", I think. It's actually pretty difficult to move on with the previous dreams but I know its for the best. I sit myself down ontop of the wall "I have tasks to do." Everything starts to turn black. I throw myself off the wall and faceplant on the pavement. The tactile feeling of the ground brings stability back and when I open my eyes I am still on the freeway.

      I think that the advanced task of erasing something might be quicker than the bonus task. That way I can move on to other goals. I tried covering something with my hand and imagining it gone when I removed it. I tried that a couple times without luck. I need to train my dream control soon. I then remebered I saw a few washing machines on the side of the road. I flew over to them and found the largest one that had the opening onthe side. I gave myself a running start and dived in. Nothing really happened but when I got out I was in a tropical rainforest. I saw a stegosaurus and flew up into the canopy to get away from it. Who knows what dinosaurs are out there. In the tree there was a giant spiderweb with a bug stuck in it. I realized there must be a giant spider and flew away just in time as the spider devowered the spider. There were also socks stuck in the spider web.

      I flew to another tree and saw a neanderthal looking creature following me. I talked to him and he could talk too! He took me to his family. He had a wife, two kids and elderly parrents. They invited me to dinner of meat stew, and a bowl of heart shapped cake pops. Weird but the cake pops were delicious so I didn't question it.

    3. Twenty Story Palm Tree

      by , 06-14-2016 at 04:47 PM (Oneirin's Dreamworld)
      I'm leaving a building, and head into a warm, sunny environment following a conversation with a co-worker. The word 'dream' comes into my mind as I begin floating, my awareness begins raising and I become lucid.I continue flying upward freely, raising many feet into the air. I take in the view of the small vacant plaza that I'm in. It has a light tan concrete floor without any sort of decor, and sits in the center of many tall buildings which appear to be apartment structures. The structures raise about 20 stories into the airs, and are light colored with small balconies outside of each room. Glass sliding doors lead out onto each balcony. Separating the two structures in front of me is a massive palm tree with green bark and canopy which extends slightly above the buildings. I continue flying upward, and consider some dream goals. I quickly decide against dream goals as I just wanted to explore this interesting tropical settings. I decide to head toward one of the balconies and head inside one of the rooms to start a conversation with a DC. I head up a few more balconies, the finally make it to the top one on my right. I approach the open door with curtains blocking the entrance. As I make my way through, the dream begins to go void, and with caution I back up slightly to try to gain back some stability and vision. I begin going to rub hands, but there's a slight resistance, although I gained some visuals back.The dream quickly goes void and I transition to waking.

    4. Short talkout about Gravity RC & 2. Bonus Task attempt

      by , 06-14-2016 at 09:27 AM
      So my girlfriend stood up for work and was in and out of my room several times. i fall asleep every now and then. after she was gone i felt pretty awake but still felt that i might fall asleep. i turn on my side and start to focus on gravity. after some time i notice some hypergonia and focus on my sight. i see a structure similar to a rock slowly forming and morphing.
      next thing i now i am in my kitchen with my roommate and someone else. i want to put something down but notice that the kitchenfurnishings are disorientated. i do a fast nosepinch and am lucid. i show everyone but especially my roommate both of my midddlefingers (seems like i am angry on him a bit... ) after some seconds my awareness raises some more and i see that this is no approach to have a nice lucid. i want to get the gravity RC to work so i thought about to attempt to notice and talk about gravity in dreams. so i drop the sentence: "Hey lets talk about the gravity RC what do you think? how will it work?". The dream is very very liquid this time. the room has changed and now different people are there. two female friends of mine are sitting at a table, the room is bigger and not my kitchen anymore. my roommate is not there but in the next moment another guy will show up. so after asking the question one of my friends answers "hm i dont know maybe it has something to do with the m-orbit?" i get that she is revering to the orbital names of atom orbitals... its not where i want to go and change the question to "how can i notice gracity best" or something like this. randomly i feel like open the window in the room. she starts to juggle some balls and i ask her to throw me some over so i can juggle (and therefore get a feeling of the gravity) she throws me some over but different then IWL i have some trouble with 3 already because it feels different and a little weird. now the guy appears and starts take the balls away from me and to juggle by himself. there are about 6 balls around so enough for two of us. i pick up some try another attempt but again he gets close to me blocking me and then picking up my balls. i ask him "dude wtf? you just need 3 balls take the other ones" but he seems to want to be a pain in the ass so i decide to lift him up. he is a little stiff like a puppet but still complaining and talking shit. i carry him over to the window and throw him out. he makes a little "aaah" but nothing spectacular. i go back and see still both of my friends sitting there. i bend down to pick up some balls and is i get up again the girl i was talking to disappeared. fine... i go over to her and while try to juggle i attempt some sexy time with her... she is not that motivated but texting with her phone. i put the balls down and get more active. but before a lot happen the dream fades. i stay cool and find myself in the void, still having the tactile feeling of my pants that i wanted to take down. i move it a little around and get a feeling like someone is pressing or hugging me. it feels interesting. i am not sure if i awoken i linse one eye open and see my bedroom. but wait i still must be dreaming. i do a nosepinch and still lucid. on my right side is a flatiron that morphes right infront of my eyes into an older model.
      i stand up and want to perform the bonus TOTM again. since this is my apartment i know there will be a washing machine in the kitchen. i approach the kitchen (even tho the apartment looks completely different) and already hear it. i open the door and enter the kitchen. i see no washing machine but a dryer. i look closely thru the whole kitchen if i not might still find a washing machine but no. this time i am determined to not close my eyes when approaching my goal. i do a little jump into the open dryer but get stuck like expected. i dont care and keep pushing forward like stuck in the mud and want to get out of it. i push and push and slowly get deeper. i want to get into a different world. in front of my the wall of the dryer starts morphing into different pictures and symbols. it starts with a beating hearth and turns into a brain or something? it changes colors a bit and morphs around. i feel stuck and dont know exactly how to proceed. i try to close my eyes but am at a point where the situation and the visuals are that abstract that it makes no difference if i close or open my eyes. i see the same things. i see dropping water out of a wall. the inside is turning 360° in all directions. after some time between those two moving solid spheres i am stuck inside i see some daylight and i await the sphreres to move in that way that they open a little so i get outside. now outside i find myself at a whole different place. in a round valley some meters away i see a two round stoneshapes moving against each other in 360° similar to the thing i get out of. the landscape has darker round and long stones and just a little vegetation. i fly some meters and thinking hm damn last time atleast i could teleport with my approach but this time?!
      ... i wake up

      and thinking with a waking mind... i did teleport somewhere else i just didnt expect that outcome... the lucid was pretty short but nevertheless an interesting one
    5. Sirens

      by , 06-14-2016 at 07:56 AM (One Up Seeker)
      1. I was inside of a large apartment. In this apartment the walls were painted a dark tan color and the floor was hardwood flooring. A party was going on, so the main lights were off and neon lights of many colors were flashing all around the apartment. I started walking around and just observing what was going on. I saw my two friends Dylan and Patrick, but they were each on opposite sides of the apartment. The biggest and most alive part of the party was in the living room section considering it was the biggest area. Many people were dancing, some were drinking, and others were just socializing.
      I walked up to dylan "Dude I had no idea you were here" I said. "Yeah dude I just got here. It's pretty lit" he replied. "For sure bro" I said. Just then my attention was diverted to a girl about my age who was sitting down at a table all by herself. She had light brown hair and blue eyes and was wearing an extremely sexy dress. Considering her legs were crossed it made her even more sexier than I initially found her. I saw an empty seat next to her, so I walked up to her table and sat down. Upon immediately sitting down I got a better look at her. She seemed to be of Russian descent, and this added onto her sexiness as well.
      "So why are you sitting down all alone?" I asked. "I've been waiting for guys to approach me, just like you have just done" she replied. As she said this, I was checking her out. She had an extremely sexy slim body, and I couldn't get my mind off of how bad I wanted to fuck her. "Well, I'm here now. Your search for men is over" I said with a laugh. "It appears so, but in all honesty, I'm looking more for a boyfriend" she giggled. So that came out of no where, and although I wasn't desperate I did want to date her. "I can take on that job" I told her. "Well if you do, there are requirements to be my boyfriend" she said. She then proceeded to test me by asking me a series of questions that I don't remember.
      I remember passing the test and I pulled her closer to me, and she didn't resist. We then began making out, but just as it was starting to get really hot, a group of men that looked to be a part of the government stormed in the apartment from the front door and came up to us. They pointed guns at her and shot her. I had no idea what was going on. Suddenly the entire party turned to chaos. People got frantic. Somehow a guy got everyone's attention and calmed them down and things returned to normal even though there was now the dead body of a young woman on the floor.
      I got up not knowing what to do. I decided to go outside and see what was going on out there. As I walked out the front door I came to a huge balcony that also had a park on it, which was odd considering this apartment was high up on the side of a steep hill. The moon was shining bright in the sky, and it lighted up the grass that the entire park, slides, and all were sitting on. I walked onto the grass from the front porch of the apartment and approached the park. I climbed up the whole park arrangement and found myself at least 15-20 feet off of the ground. Suddenly a strong breeze came through the park and I felt a blast of steady cool air hit me. As I looked below me I could see all the blades of grass moving with the wind. I looked around me and noticed that there were also trees on this balcony as well. They were fairly large and thick, and filled with dark green leaves.
      As the wind hit the trees and caused them to sway with it, a huge group of kangaroos and koalas emerged from them. The koalas were actual size, but the kangaroos seemed to be rather small, so they could actually pass as wallabies. I noticed that these animals were coming out of the trees rather quickly, as though they were after something. I continued to watch them as they got closer to where I was on top of the park. It then hit me, these animals were after me. They all suddenly jumped onto the slides and the park as a whole and started climbing towards me. I had no idea what to do, so I just stayed where I was. I figured once they got to me I would just be really nice to them and pet them.
      Seconds later the wallabies and koalas got to me. For a second they all stopped and stared at me. There must have been at least 20 wallabies and koalas combined. "Uh hey guys" I said for a reason I do not know. I put out my hand to pet the wallaby closest to me, and as I did, he bit me. It was then that all of the wallabies and koalas started charging me and jumping on to me. Once they got on me they proceeded to bite me. I started yelling for help, and the 15 or so people that were in my vicinity just looked up at me and did nothing. I continued to struggle and fight off the animals, but nothing was working.
      Suddenly in the distance I hear loud sirens go off. I look down at the city below the apartment I was at and see people crowding the streets. The sirens got louder and it sounded like the sirens the military uses when a home base is being attacked or bombed. Immediately as these sirens started the animals that were attacking me froze, looked back at the city, and then ran off in the opposite direction. Just then another huge gust of wind hit where I was and almost caused me to fall off of the top of the slides where I was standing. I slid down the slide and ran inside back to where the party was. As I got inside I searched for Dylan. Within seconds I found him. I went up to him "Dude do you not hear the sirens outside?" I asked. "You're lying dude I don't hear anything" he replied. "Get up and come outside, you have to hear this" I told him.
      With that he got up and we both walked out the front door and were now standing on the porch. The sirens were still going strong and as we both looked down at the city we saw bright lights on the streets that weren't there before. The whole city was lit up now whereas before, it was dark and asleep. Not far ahead of us on the balcony I noticed a group of at least 15 completely naked women. "Aright I'm dreaming" I said to myself. I looked over and Dylan and the look on his face was that "Holy shit this is amazing" face. "Well, we're both lucid Dylan" I say. "Hell yeah dude, and I know exactly what I'm going to do" he tells me.
      He goes up to the closest naked female to him and starts fucking her. I feel like this should disturb me, but Dylan is one of my closest bros so I don't care. "I really want to fuck one of these girls, but that's not what I'm here to do" I think to myself. I look past the women and look down at the city. The sirens have stopped, but street lights still illuminate the entire city. I can hear footsteps down at the street some 30 feet below us. I see a group of kids my age and there is a man who has them all gathered together and he is talking to them. I get the feeling that he is talking to them about joining a lucid school, or a lucid dreaming team or something of the sort. I get a strong feeling that I should go down there, but I don't.
      Instead, my attention is now on one of the naked women in front of me. She is laying on a pool chair and is arching her to the point where her boobs look amazing. "God damn it" I say. I then walk up to the woman and run my hands all over her body. I then start sucking her tits and she moans in pleasure. Just as I get my dick out and am about to fuck her, I lose my stability within the dream
      and wake up.
      Seconds later I re-enter the exact same dream, except now I'm on the side of the apartment. Patrick and Austin are with me. We are walking around the apartment and checking out to see if there's any activity on the streets. The only sources of light we have is our phones and the occasional street light. We walk to another apartment and as we do we see a man. The man looks highly prestigious and is wearing a white tuxedo and is riding a fully white horse with golden equipment on it. Walking behind him seem to be his guards and they are wearing dark green military like outfits; they look to be the same guys that killed my soon-to-be Russian girlfriend earlier.
      Pat, Austin, and I are making sure to stay dead silent to avoid being detected. We watch the man in the white tuxedo continue riding his horse down the street. He is looking closely at all the apartments looking for people. Just then he turns his head and looks straight at us. "Holy fuck, run guys run" Austin says in a loud frantic whisper. Immediately we all jet it back to the apartment where the party was at, but we don't go inside, we just go to the backyard section of it and duck behind the fence. In the backyard there are no lights whatsoever except the light provided by a somewhat distant white streetlight. About a minute into just chilling in this backyard area, a car busts through the fence and stops right in front of us. A white man that looks to be in his mid or late 40s gets out. As he does so, I look into the car and see another white dude along with an old african american woman.
      The guy that got out of the car approaches Patrick, Austin and I and points a gun at me. "I'm going to fucking kill all 3 of you" he says. At this point I realize that I'm really about to die. "Wait, I have 60 bucks in my wallet. I'll give it to you if you don't kill us" I say. The man agrees and keeps his gun pointed at me while I get out my wallet and get the money. I actually have just about 100 dollars, but I don't want to give him all of it. I pull out 3 20 dollar bills and hand it to him. He grabs the money, puts it in his wallet, and then for some reason places his wallet on the fence. He then gets back into his car and drives off. "Guys, that guy is a fucking idiot, he left his wallet" I tell Pat, Austin, and Trey who is now suddenly with us.
      I go up to the fence and grab his wallet, but as I do so some change he had falls out and onto the ground. Trey quickly picks it up and we start walking away. Seconds later the same mid/late 40s guy pulls up and gets out of his car and starts sprinting towards us. "You stole my wallet, now I'm really going to kill you boys" he yells. We run to the apartment where the party was at and rush inside. Pat and Austin make it inside first, and for some reason they closed the back door which they entered through and didn't even wait for me. Trey disappeared and is no where to be seen. I finally make it to the back door. I struggle for a few seconds to open it, and as I do so I can just feel the guy with the gun trying to kill me getting closer and closer to me.
      Finally I get the door open. I rush inside and close and lock the door behind me. I don't know where Patrick is, but I see Austin laying on the couch in the living room.

    6. No Child Left Behind

      by , 06-14-2016 at 03:14 AM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      #490

      Im at some church service with my mom. They talk about some lady keeping her baby after being raped and that baby having 33 kids. Justin says doesn't that hurt? I say, "Nah after awhile they just fall out in a conga line." We laugh, but notice she's right behind me. I'm not totally sure it's her but Im scared to look. I tell Justin look because I can't tell.

      We are on a bus now. The lady is question is talking in British accent about her recent child birthing. I realize it is her and hope she didn't hear me make fun of her.

      The bus stops. My son, Riley and younger daughter, Dalynn, get off. I'm overly aware od Riley's glowing red shirt. They walk past my window alone. I panic and start knocking on glass the glass to get them to loo at me. I yell, "They got off!" Dalynn phased through the bus and takes a sear, but the bus driver leaves Riley. He's too young. My mom is the bus driver. I scream, "You're leaving Riley!"
      She calmly says" Well, he'll have to find his way back."
      I say, "You're not leaving him. If this was real life you wouldn't." I look at my older daugher, "Hey! "Is this real life?" She just looks at me curious. I go ahead and do a nose plug just in case

      Lucid now, I move to front of bus. I say to my mom "He's back right there now. No worries...boom." I point and turn expecting to see him. There he is. "Look mom, there he is. I look at mom and look back. He's not there for a second but I refuse to believe it. I look harder and a different child morphing into his likeness. I see he's wearing the same red shirt and leave it at that. I don't get caught up on the details. I'm just really determinded to not leave my child alone at a bus stop dream or no dream. I wake up.

    7. Boats & Bandits- Also a throw back of an amazing lucid dream I had!

      by , 06-12-2016 at 08:19 PM
      I had 3 dreams. Non-lucid: The first I woke up from & fell right back into it but it changed somewhat in the middle. Chaining/DILD/WILD. I was on a ship & there were these thieves or bandits. There were a lot of people though like this was a luxury ship yet not a cruise ship. It was like I knew a man in the first & in the second. Same man but I just couldn't tell how I knew him. Woke up to feed Meesha & fell back into this ship dream again. The details weren't all that interesting it just had cargo & some animals & people talking about theft. The man was the focus for me just because I couldn't figure out how I knew him. 3 dreams with the same theme was unusual though.

      Throw back from LD4All website.

      The one place I've always wanted to go. Venice!


      PostPosted: Thu 24 Mar, 2016 in LD4ALL:


      WBTB Method. When my cat woke me up I used it! I tried my back first but then I turned on my stomach cuz I have spinal issues & it hurts. Took my Meds, smoked a cig, used the bathroom, fed my cat, read about lucid. Then I thought about Venice because I've always wanted to go & wanted it for a destination in my LD. And I suddenly remembered how much I slept when I was a child. I loved to dream. I had a traumatic childhood & I'd suppressed this. I did my meditation & before long I was having a dream about my childhood friends & then it happened! I was on a staircase in the dream & then my friends were gone & I was outside. It was beautiful! The most vibrant colors I've ever seen even in real life & I was on street in Venice! And then I knew it. I knew I was Lucid Dreaming & I consciously opened my eyes. Lots & lots of ppl & color. And can't say enough sbout the color! I could run really fast & I tried to push past some ppl who weren't happy about that & I knew I shouldn't do that so I flew over them, just like that! Easy peezy. And then I woke up... Talk about a rush! ... And I feel refreshed. Like I did a work out & just feel all kinds of happy! I hope it counts cuz that's where I wanted to go.


      I mention this one because I always wondered why it was so incredibly different than most of the others I've had since. I meditated & did the flip. At least that's what I call it when you are laying there meditating & you go straight from awake into either a lucid dream state or AP state or at least sleep paralysis. I opened my eyes because I could see through my eyelids & it felt so different like I actually went somewhere. I went from meditating to being in Venice where it looked like Mardi-gras. I've always been fascinated by Venice but not once have I ever seen the festivals that actually exist in Venice which exactly like Mardi Gras. This had details that were extremely vibrant & all the details were very intricate. I remember it just as I would if I had taken a trip there on a vacation. Very Memorable.

      Lucid-Red
      Explanation of details-Blue
      Side Notes-Purple

    8. Blindness & Nightmare Figure

      by , 06-12-2016 at 06:52 PM (Oneirin's Dreamworld)
      1. I find myself in bed in the dark. I automatically go for a nose plug.. 'could I really be dreaming?'. I check twice to make sure and I'm lucid. I think of how awesome it is that it came so easily. I stand up from the bed, but everything is just a void; it's as though I'm wandering in darkness. I have a spatial sense, but no other senses are present. I have an easy time maintaining awareness here, and I decide to wait for the next dream to start. I stay for a few minutes and remain patient. I fell as though I'm standing, and see a small light colored rectangle begin to form then fade. I figure I must be at the end of a REM cycle, and riding it out, so I try to go to sleep in the dream while telling myself 'I'm in a lucid dream'. I close my eyes, lay down, and begin the mantra

      2. I appear in a bedroom area and begin to explore. I notice a dresser standing close by my side.I quickly decide to fly through a wall and explore a bit outside the structure I'm in. I find myself in an outdoor area with an interesting green hue to the entire scene. There is a large screen encompassing the entire backyard. I begin flying toward the screen and bust through the first one. I then consider heading upward and make my way through the ceiling screen. I then get the sense that there is some ominous entity inside the structure. At first, I consider going even quicker through the screen. I then think to myself 'this is just my dream, I'm going to confront this nightmare and find out what it is. I lower myself back down, turn toward the house, and torpedo my body quickly back into the structure's first room. I make a quick right while doing this torpedo flight and enter the second interior room. I see a creepy dark figure standing in the center of the rectangular dim room. The figure is just over five feet tall with long black hair, at is slightly stooped over. This zombie-looking figure appears to be a female, and is facing away from me. I quickly torpedo at the figure, yet I do feel a bit creeped out by its presence. As I approach, I grab its shoulders, spin it around, and demand "Who are you? What do you represent". I see the figure's face: it is the distorted face of one of my co-workers, which quickly changes to a distorted blonde 50's looking female, then to another female. The character says to me "I'm your fear of silliness". I feel at the moment that I have a clear understanding of exactly what this character is trying to relay (although after a few hours of waking I thought of another possible interpretation). I turn back to where I came from, and return to my flight toward getting out of the backyard area. The dream begins to become a bit blurry and fuzzy as I enter the green-hue area. I start expanding my vision to try to stabilize, but the dream begins to fade. I get teleported back inside, yet the dream begins going to void. I recall my lucid dream count, and decide that I want to have another this night. I set my intention to have another one. I lay down to go to sleep and begin my mantra: "I'm in a lucid dream". My eyes open slightly, yet my awareness wavers, and lucidity drops a bit... Some co-workers are asking me to help out with some students. I'm aware at some level that I'm trying to begin at the start of the next REM cycle, and continue sleeping. They seem to find me sleeping unhelpful, and laugh a bit. I ignore it, return to my intention and wake up shortly after.

      3. The dream yoga master leaves the room after having spoken negatively of the older lady's practice. She is a bit upset, but I kneel down by her side and try to comfort her. I put my hand on her back, and tell her not to worry about it. We both stand up, and begin to walk in silence to the next room. Once we enter, the room goes completely black. I'm here for a short moment, then it hits me I'm dreaming this. I'm in complete darkness, yet I stick out my hands and feel that the older female is still in this 'dream blindness' with me. I stay in this void-like state for a minute or two, anticipating a dream to begin. I simply hold awareness in this void. I then decide to go to sleep and try to begin a new dream. I begin feeling a physical body, yet it may have been a convincing FA which I missed.

    9. The futility is irrelevant

      by , 06-12-2016 at 05:29 PM
      I was part of USS Voyager crew- I don't know who, but I was bridge officer. We discussed how to go faster back to Earth. Seven of Nine had an idea. She showed us map where she added trans-warp corridor Borg were using. All that was needed was to adjust our deflector while flying at warp to "hack" into that corridor.
      We tried to do so... And indeed the warp changed and we were flying super-fast as indicated on map of galaxy.
      But then the Borg hailed us: You are using our corridor. You will be assimilated. Resistance is futile.
      I teleported out of ship letting it to fly back home and I stood in front of Borg cube: The futility is irrelevant! and with blinding flash I banished them.
      After light faded I found that I also changed the position... And I was only point of consciousness, I had no physical body. And I saw galaxies all around. Some of them spiral and elliptical, but I saw irregular galaxies further away. I was floating for short time, considering possibilities.
      I thought... I need to find my way back to my body, otherwise it will die and I will never come back to my family... I looked around trying to identify galaxies, trying to determine which one is my home galaxy. It was strange, I started to see names and numbers on lower right side in red digital alfabet. Abell xxxx where xxxx was number. I couldn't find where the Milky Way galaxy is. I thought: Lets the body die, I don't need it if I can exist this way.
      I took course and I flew, faster and faster, further and further. objects I was seeing were going to redder and redder and more and more irregular. They also dimmed the further I flew... The universe started to glow as I accelerated further... and I found myself back in my body, woken in my bed.

      Remarks:
      I looked on internet for names of galaxies and there are many galactic clusters named Abell. If that what I was seeing was galaxy cluster it would explain irregularities... and also why I didn't see my home galaxy. I probably read about it sometime in past but I don't remember when.
      Galaxies going redder... hmmm those old galaxies emerged long time ago... maybe only red dwarf stars remained in them.

    10. 6-12-2016 Lucid Rescue and catching up on days I've missed posting

      by , 06-12-2016 at 04:03 PM
      6-12-2013

      Dream Two- I'm on my way to my cousin's house at night. I haven't talked to her in years, but I find out she lives in the neighborhood in front of my neighborhood so I want to go visit her. "her" neighborhood is really a trailer park, but in the dream she lives in a real house, much bigger than mine, and the trailers and modular homes are all gone and just forest surrounding her. I ring the doorbell and she opens the door, happy to see me. We stand in the doorway because she is about to leave, she even has a baby in her arms and on her hip dressed in a puffy baby coat. She asks me to go with her because she is wanting to check out the local churches. I tell her I'd be happy to show her to the closest churches, and that there's a really creepy old house in the neighborhood behind her house (there isn't really, but this detail from my last lucid popped up, the house of the woman who has Kurasawa held prisoner) She tells me that she has heard about the house but it sounds way too creepy and she'd rather not go there. We get into a black SUV and I make small talk on the way to the closest church, letting her know I live nearby and how to get to my house from hers. As we are pulling into the church parking lot I notice a guy I work with, we'll call him E, walking through the parking lot. I roll down the window closest to me and call out to him. He comes over and asks what we are doing there, and I tell him about my cousin wanting to see the church. He tells me it's closed and locked, he had just tried the door and was leaving. My cousin says, "That's ok, we can just drive around it and maybe look in the windows?" and I agree. We end up parking the SUV and getting out to look in the windows to see what the Sunday school class rooms look like. We notice a playground behind where we park the SUV as well, and decide to go check it out to see if it's the kind of place she could see her baby playing at when he got a little older. At the playground, I turn to look at my cousin but she's no longer my cousin, but my best friend from high school with whom I lost touch a few years ago. It occurs to me that I am dreaming, no reality checks necessary. I tell my cousin turned friend that I am dreaming, but she is confused. She asks me what I am talking about. I grab her hand and lead her towards the church again, explaining that I am dreaming and I can control this world, so I can get her into the church, "Watch, E said the doors were locked and closed, but when we get to them they will be unlocked, or even wide open for us!" and sure enough, getting there they are wide open, and lead to a Victorian style hallway painted in blue and white filigree. I tell her to stay there where she's safe and can't get in the way, that I have to find Kurasawa because in my last lucid I had learned he was being held by someone. My friend doesn't want to stay by herself though, and the baby has vanished as if it never existed, so I break down and tell her she can come with me but follow me and just don't distract me. First I run out of the church and towards a small wooded area. Though only a few feet wide the wooded area is thick with brush and trees and looks impossible to get through, but I maintain my faith in the dream that when I get there the way will be open to me. Sure enough, when I get there I see a small path that I couldn't see before. On the other side of the wooded area is a large field surrounded by wooded borders like the one behind my house. I look out around the field looking for the house where Kurasawa is kept, but I don't see it. I curse and then run up the edge of the field, screaming at the top of my lungs, "Where are you? Evil witch who has Kurasawa, I know you are around here somewhere! Please, let me find the Witch!" I briefly wonder to myself why I am calling her a witch. I am a witch, and I know witches are not inherently evil. All the same I feel like the title fits her. Another path opens up in the wooded area, and I cut through it to find myself on top of a grassy hill over looking a mountain valley in the bright sunlight. No sign of the house I am looking for though. I turn left and see a pile of very large and smooth stones. I pull my friend in that direction and say out loud, "When I get to the other side of the rocks we will find a tunnel through them" Sure enough, on the other side of the rocks is a tunnel into the ground like what you'd expect to see in a fairy hill. We go through the dark hole, and it curves to the left with stairs taking us down. After a short sharply curved tunnel maybe six feet long, we find our selves out on a beach at sunset. I throw my hands up and then down in exasperation. "I'm never going to find him before I wake up at this rate!" My friend calls out to me, "Hey look! There's another tunnel here! should we try going through it?" I turn around to look, and yes, there is a tunnel, this one looks man made in the stone and I have a really good feeling about it. I run into the tunnel, grabbing her hand as I go by to pull her with me. At this point she turns into a little dark haired girl, she reminds me of Sailor Saturn from Sailor Moon, but I don't worry about it because I am still fully aware that it is a dream and that kind of thing just happens in dreams. The tunnel is another short one, maybe 6 feet long. It empties into a large square stone room with arched wooden doors all around the room and a man in knights armor standing guard in the middle. I tell the girl with me to stay here and not to grab the guards attention while I try to figure out where to go next. I panic a bit at first because I have no clue what door to go through, nor how to tell which one is right. I know I can try blindly trusting the door to lead to him, but that hasn't been working so well this dream. I really only worry this all for a split second though before I feel it, the pull I get when Kurasawa is nearby. I turn to my left where I feel the pull coming from, and say out loud, "There!" There is no door at that part of the wall though, and I don't know what the doors will lead to the right place, so I decide the best way to get right there without chancing a dream reroute is to just go through the wall. So I steel myself, and punch the stone wall as hard as I can. The stone crumbles around my fist leaving a roundish hole about 6 feet in diameter in the wall. The room I opened was small and stone. There's a door to the right and a twin sized bed on the left. I can see the covers pulled over a rather tall form sitting up on the bed and hear x-rated noises from the bed. I walk over and pull the sheet off the bed, and there's a very short and thin blonde on top of a dude with short dark hair getting it on. The girl screams and grabs the sheet as it falls, pulling it around her and flattening herself on the bed in an attempt to get away from me. I am really confused because I feel like I am right on top of Kurasawa, but the guy on the bed is not him, nor is the girl. The guys hair on one side (even his eyebrow) keeps flashing between black and blonde like strobe light and it is extremely distracting. I shake my head and turn to the small woman because she doesn't confused me as much and I know it's a woman holding Kurasawa from the last lucid I had. I yank the sheet off of her again, this time I am way more powerful than her and she's terrified. "I am looking for a man with long blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, Where is he?" She smirks at me, "Why would I tell you anything? You interrupted us, and I'm not about reward you for it." I reach down and begin touching and caressing her like a lover might, and she her nicer this time, "Please, tell me where Kurasawa is. I know he's here, I can feel him." She makes an almost pur like sound and moans that he's in the basement underneath us if I had just taken the time to feel for him instead of throwing my weight around I would have known that. I put one arm behind her and the other hand is looped between her legs to lift her off the bed. She cries out upset that I stopped her from being pleasured again, but I ignore her this time and will the floor beneath me to allow us to slowly sink through. In the room below us there are hundreds of people just kind of moping about looking completely hopeless and like they have given up on life entirely. Kurasawa calls out my name from behind me, and I drop the blonde woman on the floor like a sack of potatoes. I turn and see him, and can't help but run up and hug him. "I found you!" There's a noise behind me, and I turn back to the blonde chic that I dropped on the floor. She's the only naked person in the whole room, and while most of the people don't notice her, there is a guard in armor who saw us drop from the ceiling. He says something about how no one is allowed to be naked or make love down here, that all prisoners must save themselves for the witch. The girl gets all mad and haughty and says she IS one of the witches, but the guard doesn't recognize her. I know there is more to this dream, but when I woke up I couldn't remember any of it. I only had the feeling like a lot happened but it's just not there for me to recall

      Dream One- I am hearing a story from someone about a girl I work with, we'll call her K, being in a changing room. She tried on a pair of tight pants and steps out to see what someone thinks. When she does, another girl from work, we'll call B, falls to the floor and crawls to her feet clawing up at her leg in some sort of terrifying urge to worship and destroy her at the same time. It was a very odd fragment, that made no sense.

      6-11-16

      All I remember is seeing a row of five small cherry trees with bright pink blossoms all over them planted along the back of my house.

      6-10-16

      Just a fragment, something about a convention and a speaker where I am earning something I didn't know before. Maybe it was UFO related? I couldn't remember anything but the room and the speaker dressed in light brown when I woke from the dream.
    11. 6/11/16 - Lockers, Fights, and Water Slides

      by , 06-11-2016 at 09:04 PM
      Alright, so my new job means I have to wake up super early every day, meaning I haven’t really been too great at lucidity lately. I’ve just kinda forgotten to even practice since I’ve been pretty stressed. I’m hoping to get it back up once I’m more adjusted to it and not incredibly stressed, but until then, I pretty much just have to do it on the weekends.

      I’m in this conference room with Dan and Arin from Game Grumps. They’re having a very serious conversation with me about something, I think about being hired as an intern.

      I’m in the living room of my house, and on the coffee table is a small makeup tin full of what I can only assume is cocaine. Next to the container is a long straw with a ton of curves and a random bulge in the middle. It kinda looks like one of those crazy straws for children, but apparently I’m supposed to use this to snort the coke. My dad walks in and seems confused by what I’m doing, but he obviously doesn’t care. I take a pinch of it and hold it under the end of the straw, while I stick the other end in my nose and inhale. I instantly feel super light, almost like I’m floating, even though I’m sitting completely still. The effect quickly wears off, however, so I for some reason decide to just stick the straw straight in the container and snort up all of it. My dad at this point has realized what I’m doing, but instead of getting mad, he seems incredibly curious, like he wants to try it himself. The dream switches before I find out what happens.

      I’m in the main hallway of my old high school. There’s some locker decoration contest between the classes going on. The lockers stretch up super high, almost 30 feet up. I kinda wonder how people get to the top lockers. The freshman section of the hall has a ton of super high-tech decorations on their lockers, like huge LCD screens, laser light shows, motion detectors and holograms. I end up heading to lunch and meet up with one of my friends. Somehow the conversation gets on the topic of Asia, and I make some kind of unintentionally racist comment, which makes these three Asians sitting next to us glare at me. I suddenly regret saying it, and try to pass it off as okay because me and my friend are the minority in this situation, which means we’re allowed to make racist comments, or something like that... *facepalm*


      I finally got up for my WBTB (first one I’ve been able to do in a long time with work and everything). I’m in this public park, where it’s almost night time. I know I’m dreaming already, and I remember that I’ve wanted to fight someone for some time now, so I go out searching for someone to fight. I walk through this dugout next to this very large baseball field. The first person I make eye contact with is a guy standing on the pitcher’s mound. He looks like a bodybuilder, someone that could easily kick my butt, so I decide it’s probably not a good idea to pick him for my first dream fight. So instead I go to centerfield, where there’s a red-headed woman that looks pretty friendly. I introduce myself, and she tells me her name is Donnie. I don’t even remember what I say to get the fight started, but she agrees fairly easily. At this point, everyone hears that we’re about to fight, so they create a huge circle around us to watch. We each go to our corners, where some random guys are giving advice and psyching me up for the fight. I’m not sure if it helps or not, but I feel incredibly relaxed, much more than I would be if I was in that situation in real life.

      Someone from the middle of the circle shouts “Fight!”, and I turn around to face my opponent. Instead, I’m amazed to see that she’s transformed into a ten-foot-tall giant monster. She has a long, white body with claws for hands and a skull for a head. I kind of stare in shock and awe for a while, wondering how I’m gonna take her down. In desperation, I jump up and punch the monster in the crotch. She winces in pain and staggers backward. “Ha! You probably shouldn’t have transformed into a male giant freaky monster.” She transforms back into her normal form, at which point I take a running start and shove her backwards. She stumbles backwards into a brick wall and falls. I notice a large dumpster sitting next to her, so I use telekinesis to pick it up, lift it over her head, and drop it on top of her with a satisfying thud. I jump on top of the dumpster in victory, but I look down to see a three-inch-tall Donnie running out from under the dumpster. I’m about to pounce on top of her, but a sudden explosion from under the dumpster sends me flying into the air. I land on my face several feet away.

      Donnie walks over and stands right next to me for a bit, before taking off in a full sprint. Apparently, this fight has now turned into a race. I’m okay with this, since I’m a much better runner than I am a fighter. I take off into a super-speed sprint and easily catch up with her, at which point she starts running faster to match my pace. We both keep running faster and faster, until I finally just lift my feet until I’m flying at the same speed. Without my legs restricting me, I easily speed past her, at which point the dream starts to destabilize.

      I’m now crawling through some kind of ventilation system. It’s very tight, and I’m starting to get quite a bit claustrophobic. I still remember that I’m racing, so I try to find my way out, but it’s quite a maze through the vents. I hear a noise coming from around the corner, and I know that it’s Donnie. I try to sneak up on her and ambush her, but as I reach my hand out to move forward, she jumps out and bites down on my fingers. I use my thumb to grab her jaw and shake it around, trying to maybe get in a few hits against the walls while I try breaking my hand free from her grasp. This continues for a while. “Alright, this has gone on long enough. Listen, there’s no way we can get any good quality hits in such a small space. You wanna just call a truce until we can find our way out of here?”
      “...Yeah, that’s probably best.”

      She lets go of my hand, which thankfully doesn’t seem to hurt too bad. We crawl through the vents looking for an exit, while we just talk about something that I don’t remember. After several minutes of searching, we finally find a path to an exit and jump out. We’re in a maintenance room of a huge water park, and right beneath us is a huge rushing water slide. At this point, I think we’re both too tired to fight. Donnie jumps into the slide, and I follow right behind. The whole ride feels incredibly refreshing. The slide finally pours out into a huge pool area, the size of like 4 football fields. In the middle is a huge jungle gym area with climbing ropes, water cannons, and a ton of fun-looking stuff. We both just stick around here for a while until I wake up.

    12. Huge Distraction : (

      by , 06-11-2016 at 04:50 PM
      I was in my brothers bedroom thinking it was my room. I was on the bed trying to sleep so I could become lucid. I felt fine relaxing until I ended up inside a dream within the dream. My mother ended up being by my side this time. I think I flew out of the house and went around but there was something about the setting that was unsettling so I changed it somehow.

      Than I had a false awakening and woke up in my backyard. But I was next to my mom and sitting on a skull."How'd I get here I!?" I thought staring at the skull as I moved away from it. After looking at it I realized why it was there."It's not a bad symbol, its just there because I saw Undertale videos last night and papyrus was in it".

      After that I followed two dcs, not my mom, into the house through the backyard door. But I felt I couldn't move as quick as them. Than dream characters that acted as zombies began to appear. I grabbed onto one of the dream characters begging him to pull me in. He started to look like Sans from Undertale now and pulled me in. We than closed the second door after we were in the hallway.

      I followed the dcs through the hall and as I was following them they stopped near the bedroom that Dawn use to appear in a lot. Except it was closed. I questioned why they stopped here than I remembered about Dawn. But I wasn't really interested in seeing him. "Lets just go" I said. I walked but than looked back at the exit door. It was now black with a Yellow person standing near it unable to move.

      I was scared(since I haven't been lucid in a while)but than calmed myself and reminded myself that I was in control of the dream. After talking to the characters about something I don't remember, maybe the environment, I turned the corner and saw something weird. I ignored it and went upstairs. To my surprise there were parakeet cages beside my dad and younger brother.

      Well my lucidity went out the window and as soon as I saw a parakeet on the floor I started panicking a little. I picked them up one by one somewhat aware it was a dream but pulled into the dream by the birds. I quickly rounded up the birds I saw but than someone gave me a book. It was dark brown and covered in green leafy stuff. There was also something in the middle of the cover that looked like a small leafy green shaped dragonfly taped to the cover. (Guess the bee task went out the window too)"Is this a moth or is it a bird?..."I thought.

      I get a vague feeling someone randomly made a joke about "falling"that was suppose to be funny and possibly written in "DCs say the darnest things" thread.Yeah, it did happen but it was somewhere earlier In the dream.

      Anyways I took out the leafy thing taped to the book and continued looking for the birds. "Don't just stand there! Help me!"I shouted to my brother. He started helping me too. I decided to check downstairs and as I was walking down I saw more parakeets. "Oh no. Please. Come to me."I said worried as I tried picking up the birds with only two hands. "There's more downstairs!!"I shouted as I quickly tried to round up the fat ones, thin ones and hurt ones. There was even one with only half a body but still moving. I thought he was born that way. But quickly picked him up because I felt sympathy for him.

      I than went upstairs and brought a few into the cage. Than ran back down and tried collecting more by hoping they would perch on my arms. By now the hallway expanded into what seemed like a huge library with tall orange colored book shelves.
      As I was picking up the birds Eye tried to get my attention. But I ignored him because I felt the parakeets needed me. Especially when now there was other parrots into the mix.

      Eye than took a couple of parakeets and let a white one mixed with sky blue fly into the air."Hey! Look what I did with the sky blue parakeet!" he called out to me as the sky blue one mixed with white did a loop in the air next to him."Come watch the bird show!"he called out like a circus ring master.I than turned away from him quickly picking up the parakeets that ran away from me. Even though I wanted to pay attention to him the parakeets and parrots were not safe.

      I managed to pick up a few and passed by Eye. Where I saw my brother walking trying to grab one, unaware of the yellow one walking on the floor chasing another yellow type of parakeet."Wait!!"I shouted as I grabbed his shirt and pulled it. He kept moving but than turned diagonally to get another parakeet. The yellow ones were safe under a painting thing.

      I breathed in and out relieved. Than turned and saw a white parakeet flying away from a bigger white parrot. "Nooo!! Get away from her!!"I shouted. Trying to reach for them. But than it happened. The bigger parrot grabbed the small white parakeet with its feet."Nooooooooooooo!!!"I cried out grabbing what I thought was the parakeet from the parrot. The parrot flew away and what I grabbed was a orange/white fish that resembled a angel fish. I let it go and noticed the white parakeet on the ground. "Nooooooo...."I said so upset when I saw the parakeet on the ground not moving. I turned it and saw that its beak was open and a curved organ of the bird was sticking outside its mouth. It cried a little and I felt some wet stuff spray from the bird onto my face.

      Eye came up behind me."That's nature for you"he said without remorse in his voice."I need to wash my face. That bird organ must have sprayed something at me.."I thought now worried about the germs. I got up noticing the environment had changed into a castle or theme park with water fountains all around. I wanted to go wash my face in one but Eye got my attention again. The setting slowly became black and I started to wake up."You gonna say sorry?" I heard Eye ask than I woke up.

      Afterwards I had a non lucid dream a vampire kidnapped me and I fought him with his own knife.

    13. Spirit Guides, Chaining & Lost time: I'd like to hear what others make of this.

      by , 06-10-2016 at 09:42 PM
      Before I went to bed I was reading a fiction book called "Lucid" by Adrienne Stoltz & Ron Bass. It's about these 2 teenage girls who dream each others life every night they go to sleep but they don't know each other or if the other is actually real. So far, they suspect that the other is real but so far only one has tried to find the other but was unsuccessful.


      Very Lucid Dream! I was talking to this older woman & there were other people around & I suddenly realized I was extremely lucid so I decided to ask the woman if she was my spirit guide & at first she said no & then I remembered someone saying that you should ask 3 times because it seems to be a theme that on the 3rd time that things seem to change & you seem to get the real answer. The idea was that dream characters will say they are your Spirit Guide but it isn't true. So I asked 3 times & then I got really really angry because I wasn't getting answers. Then the craziest thing happened. I lost time somehow but I was still lucid. It was like someone was trying to guide me somewhere & I just started losing time. I was very lucid so it was all very strange. I had the overwhelming feeling that I was being watched but not by something or someone sinister. I remember saying I understand everything now. That I know there is so much to our state of being is more than a physical shell. Basically the body we occupy while we are here is a shell with our spirit occupying that space. Also I was saying that there are so many things going on that we can't see. I basically communicated my beliefs about our existence & that of others.... I obviously don't know quite everything but I feel I know quite a lot for someone at my level of state of being. We are energy like everything else & that being in a human body limits us be pigeon holed into thinking only in physical terms. I won't go into all of my realizations of the world we live in because it would become a book, lol.... I found myself flying around in a rage because I just wasn't getting all the answers I wanted but I just kept losing time while my ranting was going on. After this I kept having chaining dreams which included the characters from the book I was reading. Many Lucid Wilds & DILDs but I didn't stop to write anything down because they just kept happening. I felt as though I've been kind of blocked lately & felt the need to l just purge my dreams, if that makes sense. I woke up feeling very enlightened but also left with questions about why I kept losing time. Ironically before I went to bed I was talking to my husband & told him that I've never felt I've lost time during a lucid dream or in sleep. I have had it happen when I was drinking though back when I drank but I know that was just the booze, lol. But on September 18, 1989. I was driving with my first husband. We had just got married that day which is why I remember the day. I was the one who was driving along this river. I was showing him where I used to live & I lost time while I was driving & till this day find that to be very strange.... If anyone has any theories on any of this I'd love to hear them!

    14. Two Goals In One Morning! (TOTM)

      by , 06-10-2016 at 09:15 PM (The Dream Adventures of MadMonkey)
      Because I havn't had many lucid dreams in a long time I decided to keep my first goal simple. Something that could help me get the rust off my dream skills. I decided my goal would be to do 10 reality checks in one dream. If could remember to do 10 then I'm sure later on I will be able to remember 2. Plus I had to do some research to even find 10 different reality checks. My goal did not require that they be successful reality checks, just that I test them out so I included some that I know don't work very well.

      10 RCs In One Dream(DILD)

      NON-LUCID LUCID OTHER

      My mom drops me off at home and says to go take the dog out. I go to the back yard through the side gate and realize it is not my backyard. It looks like the back yard from the rugrats more than my own. Something feels a little off about my body. Gravity RC! (1) I say to my self, "Calm down. I'm dreaming." I remember my goal and that I need to do 9 more reality checks. In my lucid the night before last I only got 5 out of 10 before waking up so I shouldn't take my time. 10 RCs actualyly is a lot. I plug my nose and try and breath. Supprisingly nothing happens for a second. Hmm am I actually awake? Finally a bit of air comes through. (2) I look at my hand. Yep, 7 fingers. (3) I notice a trash can and remember someone on the forms changing the colors of things as an RC. I look away and look back, imagining the can as blue. Nope, still black. (4) I see some letters on the side. When I look away and look back they are numbers. (5) I try and do telekinesis on the can. No luck. Hmm, it has been a while since I practiced but I used to be so good at TK. I do TK on a pebble instead. It doesn't budge. I put a bit more effort into it and it flies into my hand. There we go. (6). I look around but I'm alone in the backyard. I hear some of the neighbors though and yell at them, "Am I dreaming?" "Nope." One of them says. Hmm, it worked yesterday. Oh well I already knew it wasn't a reliable RC. (7) I look at my hand again and pinch the skin between my fingers. Ouch. See holywood, that doesn't work. (8) I try and phase my finger through my hand. It doesn't work but I am starting to feel unstable and decide not to wait for it to work. (9) The other day I had an idea for a new RC. One where you focus on something close and then something far and observe the effects of depth of field. I have never noticed it in a dream before so I wondered if it works at all. I held up my finger and focused my eyes on it. I then focused my eyes on the tree behind it. The finger blured out and the tree came into focus just as expected. Hmm I guess it does work in dreams. For a second everything went blury and then everything came back in focus. I guess it does have some glitches though. My vision was sort of ultra wide after that until I woke up a few moments later.


      I wrote that down in my dream journal and realized I still had plenty of morning left to try the Task Of The Month. I decided to focus on the "pull something out of your butt" basic task and the "jump into a washing machine." bonus task. I tried WILD but fell asleep pretty quickly and lost consciousness.

      Butt Stuff(DILD)

      NON-LUCID LUCID OTHER

      I go back to my Karate dojo. It has been about the same amount of time that I went there as my break from Dreamviews. I say hi to everyone and ask if I can train while I am in town for the weekend. The head sensei is very bitter and rude to me. Very very not like him. I feel hurt so I leave. The dream skips forward. I am at some sort of concert or awards show in the front row with my new roommate. The producer is near us. She looks very similar to my mom which I think is strange. Suddenly, two guys who look like stereotypical rappers jump on stage and grab the mike. They say they are taking over this even and start rapping. No one knows who they are and boos at their sucky rapping. They get mad and say some sort of anti white manifesto. I get a bit scared because my friend and I are the whitest dudes in the front row. The two rappers pull out guns and at the climax of their speach shoot me. Right in the balls, I might add. "Why the balls?" I think as I fall back in my chair. I am surrounded by the cround and hear more gunshots and screams. Wait, my balls feel fine. I must be dreaming!

      I consider my plan of attack and then fly up in the air. I point at the one who shot me and say, "You fucked with the wrong white dude." I fly at him, cary him into the air, punch him a bit and then drop him from high up. The other one starts shooting at me to no effect. I fly after him and he runs. He trips and I pick up his gun and beat him with the handle of it. I start to wake up but DEILD back into the dream. I am in a different place, some sort of hallway between small buidlings. The two rappers are there but they seem harmless. I notice a cute girl and consider letting my primal urges take over but no, I have to finish my task first! I reach into my pants and feel around back there. Nothing unusual to report. I try willing something to be there but based on my previous lucid my control isn't quite as strong as it used to be. Instead of waiting I stick my finger up there. Yep, feels pretty much like I would expect. Gross. I look at my hand and notice a bit of a skid mark. I don't think that counts so I wip it off on something and contemplate what to try next. I remember an idea I had before bed. It should be pretty easy to summon a string hanging out of my butt to make it easy to pull something out. I try that and find a string. I pull but it ends up being a butt hair. OUCH! Maybe I can have this girl help me find something. I ask her to come over and look around for me. I get a little, um, distracted. I remember what my actual task is and get frustrated. She seems to disappear as well. You know what, I'm going to complete this task one way or another. I find a Sharpy on the ground and put it up my butt. That's right, a Sharpy... from the ground... Once I get it up to the cap I pull it out. I did it! I completed my first task of the month in years! To celebrate, I summon two more girls and have some fun.


      After a false awakening I tried to find a washing machine to do the bonus task but after another false awakening and a real awakening I decided to work on that tomorrow.

    15. Nothing special

      by , 06-10-2016 at 01:18 PM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      I'm not adding these to my LD count because my recall is just terrible right now. It seems like I have to trouble getting lucid, but trying to remember is a giant challenge. I've got to even out my sleep habits and drink less and meditate more.

      1. I was playing a piano and realize I was making it all up. I realized I have no idea how to play a piano and used dream control to make a unique melody.

      2. I was in some hovercraft and became lucid when I realize I was making it fly over traffic with my mind power. I enjoyed this for quite a while until I lost concentration and was fooled by a FA.
