lucid

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.

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.

I had many dreams tonight, ranging from deep epics to short lucidity bursts.

The first one was once again an utter failure on my part as far as DILD goes.

I was downtown, when I realized a miley cyrus concert was going on in an intersection. I was a couple blocks away when I noticed Miley walk out of a VIP area that was unmarked with two organizers, telling them to do something. I didn't really care about her but I thought it was a great opportunity for me to take a leap and explore the VIP. I walked past her and casually said hi. She asked if I was invited in there I said of course and kept walking, she said are you going in? I freeze up then say yes. I enter the plaza. It's a residential home downtown with a plaza out back, and there are a bunch of roadies and such here. One of them was phillip seymour hoffman's character from Boogie Nights. I entered the place, and in a room watching a movie I found every popular kid who I have ever felt judged by in my life. All the kids from camp, from high school, were all there. I walk in and ask what kind of drugs they had taken to be watching such a strange movie, and a girl pipes up "aww little jonny is scared of a little bit of drugs" to which I reply "Actually I'm just super baked and hoping you have some better shit on you". They all laugh and I walk out. I feel kind of liberated, and it's funny how now in life I don't have to worry about popularity being outside of a teenage environment, and yet that time of my life is still so deep rooted in my subconscious. I should also say that when I entered that room I should have immediately reality checked seeing as it was a room completely filled with bendos but eventually I will have that skill.

I later left the party and got in steamy. Lee was driving and in the back was me, tyler, and anna. There was some random porno on in the back which was super weird so I just got out to walk. As I was walking they decided to go to a big party so they started ripping backwards down the road with the doors wide open so I could jump in. They gave me they keys and I took it to a parking lot once they hit their party. I woke up as the cops came to arrest me for having drugs in the van or something.

I went back to bed, and found myself on a path in the deep rainforest. There were massive trees around, and someone was narrating in my ear about how old they are, and how the female trees live for thousands of years, where the male trees will grow up in droves, and then burn down all at once, yet the females are so large and thick the fire cannot start them. I exited the woods above a high cliff/hill that was next to a city, with a beautiful bay of water at the bottom. As I was walking along the path, I saw a beautiful sight. I should have reality checked but I was so fascinated. It was one of those pathways with trees lining both sides of it, and they curved sharply just above head level to form a beautiful tunnel of branches, and out the other end of it you could just see water. I stared at it for a long time and walked through it. At the other end on a bench to the left of the trees was an old woman, staring off at the ocean. I walked back up through them, and as I began to I was suddenly listening in on a phone conversation between my dad and Cam, talking about how I always suspected I was dreaming, and that everyone was a figment of my imagination. I still did not reality check!

After they finished I was at the top of a cliff created by building parking lots at the top of the steep hill. There was a trade show or guerilla marketing fair there where phone companies had people doing running races and such to win free swag. I looked off at the beautiful blue water and knew I wanted to fly over it. I told the person at the koodo both that I was going to sue them for making me do this in their games (ha!) and then I jumped off the edge of the lot. I went plummeting toward the water, and realized I would probably die. There was a guy on a jet ski below staring in horror, but at the last second i pulled up with inches to spare, and ripped across the surface of the water at the speed of a fighter jet. The exhilaration was so much that I instantly awoke.

In my final dream, as I began to sleep again, I was at my old public school. It was a simple dream, I simply watched a street dog walk around looking for a mate. He found a beautiful border collie, and grabbed her, as she willingly led him carry her by the scruff to his territory in the school. I knew he would begin mating, so I lost interest. Next to me suddenly was a phillipino woman, who said "This reminds me of my home country... but I can't remember where that is." I knew immediately she was a dream character hastily thrown in to distract me, and she did not know her origin because she was not real. I hit lucidity fast and hard but started waking from the excitement, and unwisely tried to scream lucidity boost when I should have simply slowed down and observed the world around me in a meditative way. It was fleeting and strong, and then I awoke.

I'm walking down a driveway in front of a two story structure as a narrator finishes speaking. I begin thinking about my awareness practice and wonder how good I'll be at lucid dreaming/dream yoga in three years if I keep working hard at it. I wonder if it'll all be worth it. My awareness raises as I reach farther down the driveway, and it feels as though visuals from my pre-bed meditation kick in. I become lucid as my hands come in front of me, and I'm good to go; no need to do a formal RC at this point. There is a slight shock at how clear/rational my mind feels at this point. I fly a bit upward and notice a street running in front of the property, dense woodland laying beyond. I continue flying, and make my way across the property and across the road. As I enter the woodland I make a point to use all of my senses, anchoring myself into the dream. I feel this area may be due to my first dream goal of heading to an astral forest. My stabilization feels pretty solid as I enter my way into the trees, gliding smoothly. I begin rubbing my dream body to practice this technique a bit. I feel all my limbs and torse get stimulated by hands as if a slight staitic is running through them. I consider using visualization to try a dream goal, but decide to explore and practice stabilzation instead. I continue my way through the trees, alternating between rubbing my dream body and using my senses. The branches are thick with pine needles. The dream gets a bit blurry but I hang in for a while. I enter a void soon then go into a short period of non-lucidity before waking. I attempt a DEILD, and get very close to my separation point, but I don't quite 'sink' into the next. I stay up for the day.

D 1: Non-lucid- Mike & I were driving along & I was telling him to slow down so we didn't get stopped but he didn't listen & a cop came up behind us with his lights flashing but just went around us. Then out of nowhere another cop came up from behind us & before we know it we are in some military installation & are made to some kind of labor on an assembly line. Then at the end of the day they say we are going to receive some sort of compensation but instead of giving us money they say they are going to give money to our favorite charity & I was livid thinking "we are a kind of charity" seeing as we are badly in need of money.

I lost dream 2

Dream 3: There are four of us somehow related 1 was a toddler & then another that is about 10 & then the 2 older ones are me & a guy who are in our teens. It seems like we weren't all related biologically but step siblings somehow. We are in some sort of low budget carnival on the grounds where we are supposed to be staying. My dad was there with us telling us to be good etc. There is a playpen, a wooden one like back in the early 70's. We were trying to figure out how we would all fit in this tiny thing for some reason & complaining. Then us kids were sent up to a room to live in what was like a dorm & after we entered the room I woke up.

Yesterday I took a nap using this video below. I was in a dream & became lucid & was trying to change the whole dream into Platform 9 3/4 but my daughter called & I had to deal with that. I was so pissed off! I have never tried to change a whole dream before to make it what I wanted I have always either just been there already or it was a very close scene to what I wanted.

Dream
I remember being in a really low paying job by the shore. There's a lot of people around doing various jobs, but fishing is the more risky and better paying job. I'm not a fisherman, I'm doing some other job which isn't enough to feed my family (I have a wife and child somewhere in the background). While I'm on the beach I hear someone nearby shout out that they're looking for a new fisherman, I jump at this opportunity.. I really needed it. No matter what the risk is.

I've joined the fishermen out in the water, I can't remember if I'm on the boat at first, but at some point I make a small catch and I'm quite pleased. I hop out into the water, it's close enough to the shore to be belly-deep. The fish we catch have a mechanical part to them it seems, and we sell these to make good money. But they're usually quite dangerous which is why the job is so high risk :/. I see off to my side about 2 metres away this huge red crocodile-like beast. It must be 3-4 metres long and covered in thick red spiky skin. Shit... I hope it doesn't notice me, I'm walking in pace with it as it wades towards the shore. It doesn't seem to be hostile, odd. I wade out of the way behind a boat I think, then when I come out on the other side I spot a HUGE hagfish. Its mouth opening and closing, displaying multiple rings of teeth descending into its gullet. I backtrack as it swims slowly past. It also seems oddly non-hostile... I head towards the shore, the red crocodile beast has swam off in the direction of the hagfish. I then see another huge crocodile beast, this one with grey-silvery skin and much bigger. It seems like a more ferocious and dangerous breed, it heads off towards the other beast. They creatures duke it out, I can't remember clearly what happened but they all died and I swam over to reap the materials from their corpses. I'm amazed that I got such a good haul for a one-off fisherman job .
I'm back on the shore now, I've got a few small pieces of mechanical bearing-like things in my hand. I'm fiddling around with them while sitting down, trying to get comfortable on the slope. I keep sliding down, how did I used to do this? I put my foot on a wooden wall and stop sliding, I think this is how I used to do it?

Lucid
I JUST remembered that I had this, I can't remember a lot though. I realized I was in a dream and decided to stabilize, I remembered talking to my dream buddy about advancing my abilities with stabilization and wish I had finished reading the article he'd sent. I started by pressing my finger through the palm of my hand, it briefly stabilized but it wasn't enough. I then span on my axis a bit and felt the world begin slipping away. Aw shit. I willed the world to stay materialized which worked in my favor for a bit, but it still wasn't enough. I felt the world around me zoom in and out as I wrestled with stability, until eventually it faded and I awoke.

I think this is my 60th lucid
