lucid

1. I'm in the road behind an apartment complex entering into the parking area. I spot my car, but something feels strange. I have the thought that my car is a dream sign, and I continue to consider my surroundings a bit strange. As I approach, I naturally do a nose plug, breath and I'm lucid. I transition right to my car and am driving down the road in the parking area behind the building. I head around the side and look up toward a massive tree to my right, and well as the corner of the outisde of a building to the left. I decide to fly through the windshield and get an aerial view of the entire area. I easily ascend through, and up above the large tree to my right. I look down at the roof of the large apartment building as I consider what to do next with my dream. Dream goals don't come to me at this point, but I decide to anchor myself through senses, and focus on expanding/concentrating on my vision. I continue to fly over and above the roof.

I soon enter a void and resolve to hold my awarness until the next dream, and not lose focus. I hold for a while and...

2.I begin to notice two brick pillars on either side of me begin to form. They have a very slight red coloring to them, and I'm standing on a cream colored concrete walkway. The scene is becoming slightly more vivid, and as I look down the walkway, I notice a co-worker make her way around the walkway with a few of her students. I decide to follow and begin a conversation out of interest. I turn the corner but don't see them. I consider flying at this point, but decide I'll stay on the ground and focus on stability while I explore. I look down the concrete walkway, and see that it enters a fairly large building by passing into it, almost like a small tunnel.I walk down while constantly moving my vision around, trying a technique from a podcast I heard the previous day. This help stabilize a bit, and things become more vivid. I walk into the building and look left and right. The corridor extends pretty far in each direction, and rooms connect to either side; it looks almost like a huge storage area mixed with an office. I think about how long the LD is lasting, and am pretty happy with it. I then realize 'wow, anything can come around those corners right now' and am fascinated by this. Begin feeling as though I have sensations from my physical body and wake up.

bedtime: about 1am
long time to sleep at bed time

+ (impression) Something Lord of the Rings related, no concrete memories

+(mostly non-visual) in a gas station fueling a car, there is a guy there saying how this car can take either unleaded or leaded. Leaded, as long as (some other condition). I get him to repeat this because I'm pretty amazed at this flexibility

+ we leave a (church?) and the woman church official leaves the door ajar. My wife and I go back in. I try to place the door and the latch at the least suspicious angle. I'm trying to walk without being seen, so I'm keeping some perceived followers on the other side of obstacles as I move through the interiors. Then in the large open area, there are lots and lots of people sitting at desks/tables. People are there to get church approval for their plans. At one table nearby, a guy is introducing himself and telling the officials "this is a great book, you really should look into it." My wife is at a table, trying to get approval for our plans.

I'm in a room with a rope hanging from the ceiling. My task (to get final approval?) is to hang from the rope with my hands with my feet not touching the floor for 30 seconds. There is an analog clock on the wall and I try to do this and watch the second hand on the clock but I feel my feet are touching the floor and figure this will disqualify me. There is an athletic guy on my left with his rope and he successfully keeps his feet off of the floor the the full 30 seconds.

Then I realize: I do not have to use the strength of my arms, I could fashion a seat by tying knots in the rope and just sit in the loop for the 30 seconds. The rest of the time is me trying to tie knots in the rope but the rope has become huge cable and chains that are long and hopelessly tangled.

Outside with a (vehicle?) and some women workers, they are hooking up my (car?) to the supply lines. The supply lines seem to be electronic ribbon tables wound up into really huge spools, I see the computer-connector-looking ends as the women unroll them and attach them to my vehicle.

Wake, fairly long BTS
around 8am.
slow BTS, WILD attempt
final waking around 10:30?

+ LD#186 park maintenance room.
... I'm at the middle level of TV park (CH neighborhood), it is nighttime and I imagine that I could lash a small flying shield to my feet and fly around on it. I zoom down to the lowest level (BB courts) and I think that I can imagine things like laser guns and shoot things with them, which I do, up against the tennis practice wall, as I continue flying. There are obstacles outlined in bright red laser light on the edges, and I swoop around them avoiding them, having a great time flying. I think I could shoot some baskets like this but basketball doesn't really appeal to me. I fly up to around a tall streetlight up at the top of the back fence by the steep exit road down to the street below from the back corner, I think there are some people coming to this level and I want to avoid them [DREAM SIGN] (?). I look down at the gate and notice that it is made from two large solid metal doors. People wouldn't want to go down there because they could be ambushed.

I go down past the doors on the steep short curving road to the street below and notice a depression in the ground to the right, sort of a place you could climb down inside and be not seen, I think this could be a place also to be attacked without warning. I climb down inside this area and I notice that there is a very dark "cave" extending a bit to the back. There is a house immediately next to me with a murky window and I think I detect some movement inside which at first I'm concerned about then I ignore it. I look back again at the "cave" which intrigues me and use my smart phone as a weak flashlight and it reveals that there is a door to a small utility room there. I think this is the utility area for the park. I decide to go in and see that it goes back farther than I'd realized. About 20 feet from me in the low light I see a box sitting on something and it grabs my attention when I think I detect it moving a little.

I reach up my right hand and will the box to fly to me using TK. I feel a bit silly doing this because it won't work, but then I get an impression that the box flies towards me.
At this point I'm lucid and I walk further into the utility area. As I do so I see that the area opens up to a very large open light area like a gymnastics floor. I do a quick nose pinch with a quick short inhale and am not surprised that I can breathe. There are some girls sitting around there and this gets my attention. I'm wondering what to do but caveman takes over.

Spoiler for brief sexy time:

I'm feeling pretty horny so I take out my (ahem) from my pants and look down briefly at it. I look up again and see the girls are still sitting around. I pick the one closest to me and go up and position myself for some "attention"

and then I wake up.

I find myself in a dark room of what feels to be the 2nd story of a building. I walk toward a door, but something feels very strange. This feeling stays with me for a few seconds, and I begin to recognize 'the dream feel'. I put my right hand out in front of me, and it hits me: I'm dreaming. I walk into the next room and turn right to see a second story railing overlooking the first, in what appears to be my childhood home. The area is very dark, and the vividness is a bit weak at this point. I ramp up my awareness at this point, and the clarity/stability becomes a bit stronger. I look down and notice the front door as well as the large window above. Instead of heading down through the wall as I've done in other dreams, I decide to go down into the first floor, walk around, and stabilize for a bit.I make my way forward, yet the visuals quickly collapse into black. I tell myself to hold focus and to wait for images to start up. I hold in this area for a bit, then clasp my hands and begin imagining energy moving between them while making a waving motion in order to replicate friction and stay anchored. I hold for a while as images begin to appear into my awareness, as though the next dream is ready to load. I see a snowy town with lined up houses and a few cars parked outside. It reminds me of my uncle's neighborhood in the winter time. Shortly after, I wake up rapidly.

I take my hand off of the silver car as the engine starts up, and turn away from the car as well as my brother. I begin to fly upward in the direction of a large pine tree. As I ascend and head toward the brancehs, my awareness begins to raise. I finally land high up on the branches, and turn back down to look at where I had flown from. Something feels a bit strange...surreal. I do a quick glance at my hand, but it's not very necessary; it hits me: I'm dreaming! I repeat to myself with the realization: "I'm in a lucid". I look at the pine branches and notice how vivid and blue they are. I glance up at the sky as well and take in the blue hue. I look downward and get a glimpse of the house I had flown from. The visuals quickly collapse, yet I hold awareness, and become determine to hold my awareness all the way through. I tell myself "Eric stay in this" then tell the dream "last an hour...last an hour". I continue to hold awareness in this void state, and remind myself mentally that it's just a 'loading area for another dream'. I rub my hands constantly to anchor. After some time I begin to imagine myself paddling a surfboard, and a wave finally reaching me and catching me. The feeling is interesting, but visuals don't kick in. I then decide to pretend I'm riding a skateboard. Again, no visuals. I suddenly realize I'm in a white tunnel/massive empty area and see a dark figure of a person begin to appear a distance away. I lose lucidity as the dream forms, and see myself walking toward my point of awareness with athletic clothing, and a slight limp as if I had hurt my left side. A tunnel area is fully formed at this point. The dream quickly jumps to an interesting fragment in which I'm explaining the lucid dream I just had to a middle aged man. He's wondering if it's a shared dream I experienced, and I explain how real it felt.

Not a lot of physical details to this dream. I went into it with the idea of all those subliminal messages and affirmations one can listen to when they sleep. I'm having a nap and I put my headphones on with a playlist from youtube of swlf affirmations on. This stuff usually bleeds through inyo my sleeping mind so I was preparec when it dis and grasped onto the affirmation with a lucid effort to take it a step farther. It was like an inward journey with me taking the affirmation and directing it intentionally into my sub conscience. Of course I don't know how to do that but that's the magic of dreams. You don't have to know how it's going to work as long as you believe it will. I focused as hard as I could on the affirmations, not the dream. It was like sleeping but being completely awake and meditating on a particular thought. I imagined feeling a bit dizzy from the effort of trying to reprogram my head.
I've just read that buhdist monks and eastern Hinduism used licid dreaming as a tool for spiritual cominion and growth. Now Im wven morr interested in what I can do with these dreams.
No time for edits so hope this is legible

I started Taekwondo a little over five years ago. I did the same with proper lucid dreaming practice. And for anyone who reads my dream journal, they know that random martial arts fights break out. (Often with me a participant) The one thing setting this apart from other common themes is that the martial arts dreams (I use the term martial arts as a general term since some of the moves used are clearly not taekwondo) is that they are often tied to semi lucid or lucid dreams, while other dream themes. Space themed dreams, for instance, are almost always non-lucid.

I theorize that because I began lucid dreaming and taekwondo at the same time, Taekwondo became mixed up in that phase of heavy learning in the beginning with lucid dreaming, and is now pretty much a permanent aspect of semi-lucid and lucid dreams. Probably should feel happy that I hadn't started say, driver's ed at the same time I began lucid dreaming. Then my life would be a never-ending string of car-crash dreams.

I remember being on the main street of my town. We were under attack by deadpool clones. I think there were 6 or 7 of them, and they all had numbers on their foreheads. They were made by an evil comic book antagonist who was 'testing them out' on our town. I also remember there was a school bus loading up kids who wanted to take them away because deadpool was rated 'R'.

I reached into hyperspace and pulled out the anti-regeneration sword from the comic. (The one I saw on Death Battle) I started fighting them. I remember each of the deadpools had a different aspect of the deadpool amplified. One was super fast, one was super strong, one was extra crazy, etc. The one that was extra fast ran around me and there was a one punch man reference where he tried to kick me and I just held up my fist and his momentum carried his no-no zone into my fist. I think the dream even went as far as to show the 'technical difficulties' screen for a few moments afterward.

I recall at one point attempting to throw a lamp post at them, but super strength has never been my forte in dreams and when I tried to throw it it dropped before it made it to them.

But there was also logic that since they were aspects of the deadpool they all had 1/7th his intelligence of the original and were all as dumb as bricks. That's how I was able to beat them. I remember I got onto the last one who had a blue and black costume instead of red and black. He was supposedly the boss guy. He said something about chimichangas and pulled two burritos out of his pants. He bit two of them and spit out grenade pins then threw them at me. I dodged by hiding right next to my taekwondo studio. I distracted him with a poster of a naked woman that I pulled from hyperspace and threw my sword at him when he was distracted.

He didn't die though, he just became neutral and stopped attacking, and seemed completely uninjured. He made some kind of fourth wall joke, but in the dream that translated into saying something about the dream and making me lucid. (I had already been semi lucid.)

I remember blue deadpool walked off. I was standing outside the taekwondo studio. (I think it was on the wrong side of the street though.) I was lucid, but I was in a bit of a daze. I didn't know quite where I wanted to go with it since I wasn't expecting to be lucid. There were a few people standing outside waiting to be let in, none of whom I recognized from WL. One of them was this really old lady who was only about 4 feet tall and hunched over on a cane. She had a white belt uniform and she said that it was sparring class today, me vs her. It seemed like she was so old and frail she shouldn't be able to lift her leg to kick, but I could tell something was about to happen.

Sure enough, her opening move was to leap several feet into the air (additional note: dream martial arts usually seem flashy and impractical. If you've ever heard someone say that the martial arts in movies are flashy and impractical to make for a good film, well those also seem to be the moves that are used in dreams. Probably because dreams are a visual representation of a conflict or aspect of yourself, like a movie. They're not meant to be like waking life. But I just punched deadpool in the groin, and distracted another with a pin-up poster. Who am I to talk about this.) and attack me with a bunch of kicks. I blocked all of them.

Me: [I knew it. A trick!]
Her: [Hmph! Everyone I know falls for that.]
Me: [I haven't been around as long as you, but I'm no fool.]

She kept attacking me. I played defensive, waiting for her to make a mistake, leave an opening, or just get tired, but she wouldn't have it. I tried going outside her range, but she was too quick to close the gap. Eventually I saw her let up. Jumping snap kick threw her through a loop and tagged her chest. She jumped back.

Me: [I can't believe someone as good as her fell for that old trick.]
Her: [This is the same one who *garbled* Jonathan. Shouldn't have placed my expectations so low.]

I tried to put my foot down. I could tell the fight wasn't over and might have escalated from simple martial arts to including dream powers. But for some reason my right leg was stuck to my pant leg in a weird dreamlike way that left it bent and I was stuck standing on one foot.

Her: [Well put your foot down! Fighting Stance, let's go.]
Me: [I can't... well... this is embarrassing.]

She came over and helped me by putting a magical golden paperclip on my pant leg that would supposedly stop that from ever happening again. I guess the fight was over.

She said something and the dream scene shifted to the beach from my first lucid dream. The old woman said something about reconnecting with the past. I lost the dream the moment after we transitioned and woke up.

I used to have a dog. A Bichon Frise. His name was Dioji. You pronounce it like you spell D-O-G. He was 4 when he drowned in my pool. I was hysterical & it was so traumatic. I tried to give him CPR. He was like a child to me because I had these surgeries & he was always there in my bed with me to keep me comforted. It took me 2 yrs to get over this tragedy.

I don't remember where the dream took place except there was a table & Dioji was jumping up & down on the other side of the table. I became lucid immediately. I asked him if he was okay. He stopped jumping up & down & sat on his hind legs with his paws on the table & smile at me. I felt this complete calm come over me & I felt he was telling me telepathically yes I'm okay. After that I woke up feeling calm & serene.


Meesha cat came up to me & I felt like Dioji had approved of me finally sharing my love with another animal.... Right after he died both my husband & I kept seeing him in our house in the same place at the foot of our bed in front of the drawer wear we put his ashes. I'd classify this dream as a visitation. Also on the night before this happened I prayed to my grandmother about when I die I want to see Dioji first & I've never had a dream about him since he died, or at least not that I recall so it wouldn't have been significant if he did because I would remember a something that appeared to be a visitation.[/COLOR]

I start off in this dream in the middle of watching robocop. He is driving with a woman who has done something bad. Robocop is talking to her and she is looking nervously at him and he says something about "Something about...Fulfillment." Robo suddenly leaps over the drivers seat and at the woman in the passenger seat and she Yells as Robo Cop is about to be on top of her. The image freezes and the woman's voice echoes away like it do in some movies where something bad happen and they scream but the scene changes but you can still hear them screaming that slowly fades away. Apparently something went wrong with robo Cop and is causing him to do things out of the ordinary. Once the show ended my mom tells me that "he put his wang in her." I think about how Robo was mostly metal and can imagine what she was feeling with him raping her. Once that was done I find myself at a different place and was outside at night at a mcDonald's parking lot. I'm outside and is coming from one building and I then see some bad guys running away from someone. I spot who it was and seen that it was Robo Cop. I gasped and ran, ducking through the crossfire and seeing bullets ricocheting and sparking off of his chest. He seen me and pointed at me but someone shot him in his head, jarring him into a glitchy mode for a second. Once he regained he returned fire and riddled them, I dodged the splat of blood that fell onto the concrete and I turned to run but someone grabbed hold of me, panicking I swung around and hit whoever it was. In the comotion I ended up getting pushed towards robo Cop and he is behind me. I'm on my knee and he take my head and bangs the back of it on his crouch area, then he pushed me up against a dumpster and presses my head against it with himself. A baddie/goodie saw what was going on and sniped his helmet and he angrily turns and starts after him, who runs off into McDonalds.

Once all of that happened I wake up in a gentle Sleep paralysis and went back into another dream. I;m not in doors in a bathroom and Robo Cop was there with me. I'm aware of what he has done in the previous dream and was getting ready to fight him. I became aware of this being a dream and thought hmm. this'll be my first dream or second dream where I'm acually part of the action with a good DC is present. I'm gonna actually get to fight.

I am stranding in front of a mirror looking at a reflection of my whole upper body. I feel that something is not right; something feels strange. I keep staring, then decide to check my hands. They look fairly normal, even in the reflection, yet I still feel that something is strange and that I may be dreaming. I do a nose plug and I'm lucid. I instantly decide to jump through the circular mirror in order to change the scene. I dive through and I'm sucked into a tunnel which propels me a short distance. I soon end up in a void state, yet maintain strong awarenes and resolve to make it through until the next dream forms. I begin engaging my tactile sense my rubbing my dream hands. I demand myself to focus, consistently repeating word 'focus' verbally. I begin rubbing my dream body as well, and am interested by the mild electrical vibrations I feel when touching the dream body with my dream hands. I gain a mental representation of the energy field of my dream body by doing so. I continue going back and forth between these two activities in the void for about two minutes until I feel that I am transitioned back into my waking body. Upon awakening, I don't recall if it was a micro-awakening or a false awakening, although the sensation of a physical body felt very real.

This dream is from about a week ago so I don't have the best recall now, maybe I'll start keeping a dream journal.
I was in a large castle that opened up into a pool. I became lucid when I dove into the pool and started breathing under the water. I dove down just to explore because it was beautiful and crystal clear. Somehow I knew that it would open up to the ocean deep below. I swam back to the top , (the castle was familiar to me) and because I knew I was dreaming I wanted to try something I havent done before. I tried to send myself into another universe. Maybe that will seem odd but I'm a curious person and I want to see what I can do. I found myself projecting through space but I didn't find what I was looking for. That's about when I heard the bedroom door open and my husband come bumbling through the room.
I kept still and re-entered back into another lucid dream where I was playing with astral projection. I leave my body and fly in my dreams but I don't know that it's anything astral. I also fly withought leaving my body. I wanted to try astral intentionally to see if I could become aware with clarity of my surroundings. I left my body and was blind. I could only see fog so I decided to focus on my other senses instead. I reached out and slowly trailed my hand through the air, it was cool and felt dampish like I was in a cloud. I felt around and it ended when my I touched anothers hand that took mine. It was warm and that's all I recall.

multiple dreams
Simon and I were walking around a city. Simon asks me if steamwhistle is fresh. I tell him its delivered fresh to your doorstep every morning back home before sunrise. he starts freaking out.

I am with Tia, we're super late for class. We try climbing up this massive tower in the center of the school to sneak in then realize that class is on the first floor today. I go in and it's my highschool class. I see that clark is significantly younger than he is now, and this puzzles me but I do not RC. Fuck! The kids start making fun of me fo never getting a keg for some party so I get aggressive with one girl and storm out.

I'm with my dad and brother, we're in a lamborghini bravo and they've decided to rip it GTA style until it is destroyed. I get very upset about this and blame them. We arrive at a big family party. The entire family is extremely rich, probably because I watched disorder last night. There are all these beautiful blondes my age wearing gold dresses and earrings and they start saying the most intimate thing they've learned from their relationships. When it comes my turn, I have no idea what to say. I make up a thing about how you need to be a good salesman to sell them on ideas like going places etc... to have a healthy relationship, everyones like yeah I guess... I leave because they start the dance music and I want the best possible dance clothes. I go into my room and spend like 15 minutes trying to change, but continually fail to find pants that are both stylish and flexible enough to dance like a madman. I end up with some tight pants that I will to be stretchy, but when I leave the party is over, and now I'm at a ski hill.

This is the coolest dream. I'm at this ski hill that has extremely famous escalators going up and down it. People apparantly will spent days and days on them, even a whole month. Everyone is friendly here because the whole point is to socialize so the ride isn't boring. I go up with this chatty blonde, and go down with another. There are girls everywhere but I do not RC. In all fairness I have never RC'd when I talk to girls in real life and this is the only RC I've ever had trouble programming, I don't understand it really. Anyway, suddeny girls like nicole and roxy from my deep past show up and we have a big heart to heart at the top, which is due to me reconnecting with Nicole and Eliza recently via facebook after all these years. Ended with me riding the elevator behind my crush.

I was having a lucid dream & going in & out of dreams but never logged a damn thing because Meesha Cat wanted to play all night! Every time I would start to get lucid she would wake me up. This happened like 7 times so I just became more & more frustrated & angry. I finally shut her out of my room but then I had to get up & deal with animal control. They brought another trap for opossums. Apparently there is a serious problem with them this year & I got the last trap they had. One of my friends said her dog has killed 5 already. The consensus is because we had our now infamous tornado in 2011 the animals are repopulating after being displaced.

I had a short lucid dream. I was in a kitchen and the time on the clock kept changing. I glanced at my hands and became lucid. I tried making butter and jam appear on bread. And then I commanded, "Make this delicious!". The bread oddly shrank and the butter and jam became peanut butter. Eventually, I went up a staircase, then woke up.

OK, so the dream started like this. I was at a Concert, it isn't clear which band, I Don't remember anything about the concert that much. But after, I was in this weird location with lots of mattresses and beautiful women, I looked into a window with these women having a dinner party, it then told me that this place was a special place for people to have sex with women.

After This, I was in my School Corridor for some reason, and, I realized, ''Wait a Minute, I'm Dreaming!'', and tried to run to my School Courtyard and Summon Down a Mech. But I don't think I've got the hang of it yet, I need more training, more reality checks, I need to try and make my dreams properly lucid. But it feels weird when you attempt it.


Any Tips?

Also, there's no category for Semi-Lucid,

My youngest son had just graduated & we were in this big square in the town. Everywhere was a very elaborate party going on. Outside there were many outdoor food being sold & along the sides of the the square there were indoor restaurants selling high priced meals & alcohol. My son was really wasted & my husband didn't seem to care. I was telling him I didn't want him to drive but the next thing I knew he was driving recklessly with me in the passenger seat. He was driving on the shoulder & I was terrified. I told him he was driving off the road & he pulled back onto the rode again & was like "really"? Then we were suddenly back in the square & he ran off saying he needed to get his bike. I saw him riding it around the square & I still couldn't find my husband... Next I was in front of this ice cream counter outside in the square. There were all of these big cherries in the ice cream. I asked what that was all about & they told me they were like an exotic cherry & that I should try one. I became lucid as soon as I walked up to the ice cream counter so I remembered the TOTM for June so I attempted to put a cherry (they all had stems) up my butt & pull it out. I felt violated! It was not comfortable & felt like I pooped out a turd & was afraid I start pooping everywhere & woke up.

Explanation of details: My son did really just graduate. There was no such after party or square there & my son is not a big drinker... I would have attempted the Platform 9 3/4 but I could tell I was close to waking up because I was losing the scene. Therefore the big cherry's with stems seemed the most possible scenario. And yes it is not June yet so I know it won't count.
