lucid

for those who came just to read about the bending, i put the other parts of the dream in spoilers.

[SPOILER=no bending here]i am flying and suddenly i realize that i am dreaming. i try to land but it doesnt work (as always) i can go left right and up with ease but going down is harder, there is a big tree and i grab the tree and pull myself downwards. the tree changes subtly and it gets a bit bigger and richer (more branches, more leaves, thicker trunk, further from the ground) and i pull myself down by grabbing branches and then i reach the floor. there is family there (but not from waking life, i think, just random dcs i think of as family) and it is like a picnic site. grass, trees, in a greeny place.

the dream here is a bit more colorful than waking life and it is vivid, i think my lucid dreams (at least lately) have been very often more colorful than waking life. later on the colors become slightly less rich but nowhere near dull, it is similar to waking life.

i dont know where i went from this open foresty/greeny place but im in a more mundane place now. but im not sure about the details. there were streets but no cars, not like a western street with big buildings and a nice asphalt road and a sidewalk and stuff, but closer to this. [URL="http://i.imgur.com/NrFbp.jpg"]click for picture[/URL] i dont remember the environment clearly but this is the general idea[/SPOILER]

then i suddenly decide to waterbend. i dont know the sequence in which i did things but ill just describe what i did. i could form a tennisball-sized ball of water and control it through the air, moving it left, right, up, down, pretty fast and meters away from me, it was pretty cool. i got excited and remembered spellbee's competition but then realized that its already ended. i could also hold to 2 water droplets above my palms and i could twirl 2 fingers in opposite directions and the balls would follow. but its hard to rotate 2 fingers in opposite directions but it kind of/almost worked and the balls did make orbits above my palm.

[SPOILER=no bending here]i was quite excited and joyful about this. at some point i tried to waveboard while running away from something (explaining that is boring so i wont). i talked partly to myself and partly to the kid who was with me and i tried to do some movement with my feet to pretend i had a waveboard but it didnt work, i also tried it with a bit of rock sticking out diagonally from the ground but it didnt work.[/SPOILER]

sometimes i pulled water off the ground by waterbending, sometimes there were multiple droplets in the air. once, when we had pursuers, i used the snow and water on the ground to throw water at them. it was powerful enough, like in avatar the last airbender.

[SPOILER=no bending here]this is really fun, this has a lot of potential. i want to practice bending skills and be a master mage. i want to drop lightning, make walls of fire, conjure huge amounts of water, or do mass telekenesis and stuff like that. also simpler stuff, like creating small lightshows or maybe conjuring animations that appear in front of me. also earthbending, thats fun too. stomping on the ground, making rock rise from the ground and then punching it away seems really cool. i could create elementals to accompany me. probably if im this good at summoning stuff and controlling elements, i can do pretty much anything in my direct environment.

at the end im in a building and there is a girl who looks like mary jane from spiderman (kirsten dunst) and we dance, but i cant dance so i just hold her and franticly move left and right :P then i think something like "a lucid dream and you finally spend time with a girl, you couldnt resist huh." i ask her to teach me how to dance and i dont remember that she did, i held her a bit and i think this is either the end or very close to it.

i think this dream lasted for 10-20 minutes, ill add 15 minutes to the counter in my signature.[/SPOILER]

I had an LD this morning. I thought it was becoming a weekly thing but it turned to a monthly thing . This time and the previous time were on work mornings which is good. I used to think I could have them only on weekends since I can sleep more on mornings.

It was the usual "that can't be real" that got me lucid. I like that I don't force LDs. I like when I realize I'm dreaming because things don't seem to be real. It feels like my awareness has grown. That's one of the reasons I prefer DILD.

I recall driving a car, and I became lucid there because something silly happened or so but I can't recall the details now. Then I tried to drive a motorcycle (I never did in waking life). I don't recall summoning the motorcycle. It sort of just was there. I just got my driving license, that's most likely the reason for all the driving in the dream.

Then I was in my house , and I don't remember how I got there. I decided to summon a door to a secret underground room or so. I found a crack on the wall which doesn't exist in reality of course. I tried to get this crack to open, and it did, and I went to some place that had bright nice looking rooms. The odd thing is that in the dream I thought these rooms looked like the real ones in my house with slight changes, but now I can tell they were much more different than i thought, so probably my memory wasn't perfect this time although I was lucid.

I recall being afraid to jump a long distance. I have this silly thing, I fear doing risky things in dreams although I know there can be no real harm. I'm afraid that my fear will make it hurt, because my fear means I believe it could hurt.
Anyway it was like in silly old computer games where you had to jump from some objects to others, and I managed to overcome my fear for a while and do some of them.

I have many memory gaps, but I recall telling some dream characters that this was just a dream and they were not real. Their reaction was exactly like the last time, they were shocked and frustrated that they were just in my mind. Poor DCs .

When I woke up I realized I didn't do any stabilization techniques like spinning which I use usually, or shouting at the dream which I only used last time. It is not that I didn't want to use them, they didn't cross my mind at all which sounds off to me now, I always did them before.

The dream was very long before I become lucid in the dream, so I will cut at the moment I become lucid.
...... : too long description to make.
Warning the beginning is a bit shocking!!!!

It was night. There are three kids with a knife trying to attack me. I kick the hand of the kid and the knife drop, I take it and stab the kid. The other one come to me but I manage to grab his hand with the knife and stab him. Then I run and go in a very dark corner that even me I can't even see a thing, and hide behind a wall. The kid comes and I stab him by surprise. Then I see all the family of the three kids coming toward me. I enter the building and run to the 4th floor, unfortunately there is no way to go, only a window. So before they come I jump out of the window and land on my feet, then I realize that I'm dreaming. I start running but the dream is fading, I said to myself: ''Oh noo not again'', I don't know why but I said to myself if I go in an underground subway the dream will stabilize, so I run directly to an underground subway. As I'm waiting in the underground subway, the scenery change, now I'm in a small asian restaurant. I sit at the counter. I say to the asian woman to give me noodles and an egg. As I know it's a dream, I start shouting in her face and showing the middle finger(my middle fingers was small), but she is cleaning the plate as if nothing happens. Then I remember my objective(Find my ex and ask her why). I run out of the restaurant scare that I wake up without complete my objective. As I get out of the restaurant, I am now in Manhattan city, it is day light, the road is large and big building(it was incredible to see Manhattan so close like that). I shout very loud ''M''(my ex name). ''M'' where are you?? hoping that the dream will make her appear. Far away from me, there is a policeman watching me, but I didn't care, so I continue to shout her name. Then I see a group of girls and there is a brunette but I couldn't see her face. So I run toward her and touch her, she turns around and turns into blonde and it is not her. But even that I follow the group. ....... I am now in New-Zealand, very green. I realize that this is the reason I can't find her, because she left Europe to live here. The dream ended here.

-I'm in JJ's room. Darwin from the amazing world of gumball and DJ are there as well. Dear playing some musical Dan, however, they don't know how to read the notes. They're doing a level and missing practically more than half of the song and after they finally hit a few notes badly DJ says something like,"I like this game." They get to part where there is the "S" from Skype in a small, black circle. I tell them to get it so that I can finally connect to the game to my iPad. I don't know if they get it. I now have to go to school and I'm really dreading it because I'm really tired. I remember going downstairs and seeing Nicole from the amazing world of gumball saying something like, "When it hurts, you got to push through." I think I sneak a little more sleep in and when I leave, I am walking in the street and I see a girl named, Kiona, that I had a class with last semester. I walk up to her and say something like, "Hey, Kiona. How's it going?" She seems to not remember me when she responds and I say something like, "It's me, Jamal. I had class with you last semester and the 3-D animation program and my hair was in braids. Well, you wouldn't recognize me now because my hair is in braids anymore." I think we see a bus and get on it and something happens and the dreamscape changes...

He goes on the piano and he is sliding on the part where I hold up to music sheets. I turn around and I see JJ kneeling on the floor packing a black suitcase. I remember my Dream Experiment of and seeing what it's like to pass my hand through a wall in my dream world. So, I go over to the first tool that I tried to pass through in the lucid dream before this one and when I put my right hand towards it, it is stopped again. I really don't know how I'm supposed to do this. I think I see a cellphone on the dresser. So, I pick it up and I think I'm going to type in a search something like, "How to go through walls in lucid dreams." Before I get to the third word, the phone blacks out and the dreamscape changes…


*Looking back, I should've definitely asked my sister again. The fact of her being right there is definitely a sign, at least to me, that she was supposed to help me get through this test.

-I am in the kitchen towards the bread basket and DJ and Nairo are talking.

I was in a room in a surprisingly normal appearing house, it was rather dark and the only light that was present were from the stars and a planet that appeared unnaturally big in the night-sky. It had a mostly yellow surface but it was possible to make out details without a telescope.

This immediately made me lucid and I reality checked. Just like in a previous dream I tried to break the window I was looking through, oddly enough again without success. I just opened it and jumped out, it took me a moment but then I took flight towards the planet. The dream told me it was 4 parsecs away but that's not a realistic unit, it was more likely maybe... several times the distance between earth and moon? Something with that magnitude. I accelerated to FTL speed and reached the planet within a matter of seconds. I worried about decelerating properly but actually managed to do it perfectly and had a soft landing. The plants and animals there were loaded as 2D sprites at first (typical case of dream WTF) and were replaced with actual 3D representations a moment later. I don't remember much details about them, I think because there weren't many details. As far as I remember I was on some kind of beach and the water was to my left.

Then comes a somewhat hazy segment, I'm pretty sure I traveled to another planet but I don't remember much about that.

On this other planet (which I think was grayish-green) I saw a really weirdly shaped moon, which was very close and on crash course (stellar stuff, it might have still taken months for it to hit). The shape was a bit like a thimble, but with other details. There were more of those in the system, and then I also saw a damaged Tactical Borg Cube (it was wrongly labelled as destroyed).
I went close towards it but suddenly found myself inside without entering it, where I fought with some turrets. After this I woke up.

3 phases of dreaming
3/4 capful valerian extract before bed

2015-01-24
bedtime approx 23:00-23:30

2015-01-25

major wakes @ around 6 hrs, 08:30, dozing until 11:30

+ first phase, medley of dreams:

motorcycle/scooter unstable riding the throttle grip is thick and not perfectly cylindrical I almost fall over but recover, the road is blocked so I start riding on the sidewalk, reach a fence, a partner arrivers without the guy we captured, then what was the whole point we must go get him, I climb under the fence, wet cement ground, park w/pond/pool drinking fountain

dogbert the stock analyst, "I'm good at pooping and analyzing stocks"

making a phone call to a business with area/zip code 00001, "maybe the'll just have an answering machine"

Someone claims that the people who become cops are fundamentally racist?

Leaving some place I see holes in the streets, curb is full of thick roots

The egg board demo of organic eggs vs. regular (breaking the regular egg on the wall versus the organic egg on the wall, watching them roll down the driveway and comparing there residue of whites they leave on the concrete)

folding the shirt it is a kind gift, the song I sing is beautiful, I start out humming then move to full vocals at the conclusion they say I have a high pitched voice but then I give a demonstration of my low tones, pooped in pants desperately searching for a bathroom around the house to clean up before the smell becomes apparent a guy doesn't let me in the first one I find a second one with two stalls, I'll have to completely remove these pants and wear my swim suit as pants, keep pooping but it's a broken toilet I see the splats landing down inside the open bowl, if I flush this may just go everywhere all over the bathroom.

cop show ride-along, black cop is describing the job and uses profanity, I observe him and his partner enter some house with guns out, there is a startling noise and the cops spin around , the perp is sitting on a couch but gives up peacefully, quickly moving to lying down on the floor in the kitchen of the house

The letter from Laura

Letter notifying us that the house near my CH is for sale, my wife says we may want to buy it and refurnish it instead of rebuilding our country house, but I think my mom has already passed away. The real estate agents are former boy scout friends (I see just their names on the papers), and the house was a house containing our old troop's treasures.

2nd phase, very short dreams
+ LD#169 couch jump float teleport tried to roll out of bed

+ "68" with beautiful dream girl

+ another sex dream leading in to a book of links to girly material called "Mens Magazine"

+ narrator says that "things we encounter early in life determines what turns us on in adulthood", a guy watching "spongebob" on tv says "I don't feel very stimulated"

+ 3rd phase of dreams, another medley:

car tipping over steep slope "Stop! Stop"

girl throwing rock at me in the (sauna?)

In shower in aqua park, people arrive, the woman dives into the floor, phasing through it, I'm concerned that she may get stuck in the pipes below the park but others are not concerned

sitting around in groups of people coming and going, waiting for everybody to arrive so we can leave

Christmas tree attack: the guards are bad guys in disguise, the good guys jump out from hiding and escape through the Christmas tree portal

In an amusement park, the group of people rub up rudely I think to me but I notice the large girl/woman who did the rubbing is blind. Then a carnival ride with several girls with very short skirts and whose legs fly open wide while riding giving an excellent view, they're only wearing skimpy thongs underneath.

Orchestra conducting, first fake, then real, a brass/trombone piece, confer with the conductor about the tempo

1.24.16

Last night slept from around 12am-8am.

WBTB 9am
(no breakfast, just DV, reading ophelias DJ to get me primed for the TOTM - Advanced Task i - Meet someone in person who you only know online in waking life.

This was about 50+ min event, chain of about 8 DEILDs.

I get nice and relaxed very fast as usualy. My cat is pretending to sleep while I'm settling in on the sofa, then when I'm relaxed, he comes and lays on me. I have a new blanky that he loves and he is kneeding my stomach. I'm ok with that, I can WILD like that no problem. He is my lucky charm. But this time he is not settling down, so I continue after he hops off of me.

I keep saying my mantra "I am dreaming" and keep thinking of Ophelia because I want to meet her for a totm.

I remember only few of them, but the transitions are all pretty much the same. I'm doing something when I realize I'm still lucid.

In some, while interacting with DCs, I initiate a WILD by pushing my head back to get the falling feeling. Or I'm just talking with someone or doing something in a LD when I feel the falling sensation and I realize I'm going into another LD.

At one point I was thinking if I should wake up and write things down, but decided to go on, since I remembered the TOTM one and rest were insignificant.

1.
I'm pulling my red towel to cover something up, but it's stuck. I look back why is it stuck when I realize "oh, I'm lucid".

Bunch of short ones here just me walking around in some rooms trying to get out.

5.
I again realize I'm still lucid, I sit up on the bed and tell Ophelia who is to my left that I just had 4 DEILD. But she can't hear me. She is busy with 2 kids (I read her DJ entry before attempt where she dad 2 kids).

We are standing face to face and I panic not knowing how to "meet her" so the TOTM is valid. I ask if I can hug her and we hug. She is taller than I am and when I look at her face second time, she is morphing into Michael Landon. I say "oh, hi Michael" thinking this is weird because he is dead. So we start to french kiss. Nice and wet and hot. I feel every detail of his tongue. I was hoping he didn't mind when it occured to me, that even ded need some fun.

6.
I'm in a room with a woman I think it's Ophelia and 2 kids. Kids are watching TV. The room is 3D and so it the TV. I'm trying to figure it out how come.

At least 3 LDs were in same building, but different rooms. Feeling of being in older tall building, small rooms, not well lit.

7.
I remember my other goal and I deliberately slow down and look around (lol I practiced looking around just before the attempt).

8.
I'm disappointed it's the same place, I walk to the window and walk out to the darkness. I'm falling down fast and the feeling in my stomach is ncredibly fun. Like a dip on a roller coaster that lasts for 5 seconds. I'm so giddy. Nearly blew my mind, it was so incredible awesome.

I land on the ground in black and white street. I look to my right and there is my mom's house. I say "oh, it's my moms place, awesome". I walk around a bit to get a different view.

Then I look up at the skies and see all kinds of stars. My eyes get huge when I spot a spaceship. I call my mom to show her. By then there is a UFO, a spaceship, bunch of planets, Milky Way, and a beautiful blue comet.

LOL I just remembered another one with Ophelia.
We are in a room and our boss walks in. He angrily points at a poster on the wall and asks who put it there. I quickly say it's motivational and it's ok. I don't wanna get her in trouble because she hang it there. It's kinda askew, one corner is hanging down, and poster is kinda not nice, degrading. Red in color with one image on it.

Another recall - was looking for an occasion to get laid. Duh.

2 hrs later, my thighs are still so relaxed and they tickle. Like when you take muscle relaxants.

EDIT: 1.25.16
Just remembered while reading future totm suggestions, that in one DEILD yesterday, I got sick of being in same place in all of them and tried teleport out by spinning. I had my doubts but I knew it will not wake me up..

Another recall:
HH - I'm sitting in a car thats going somewhere. I think why don't I take control of this HH. I think it may not work but at the same time I know it will, because everything always works. All I need to do is wish it.

So I wish myself driving the car and I'm surprised when my view transfers to be behind the wheel, my field of vision widens to full view and I'm driving a car in LD.

Love my subC.

23/1/2016 (fri)

Before 5am
Fragments
-In bed trying to sleep. AB shifting around. AB leaves and then comes back.
-Trying to look at a forum on my phone. There is music playing in the background. Loads of new posts. One with a map and some kind of coloured board with markers on it. A game?

5.30-7am
Medium LD 346 "Catch the Waves"
I am on holiday on a tour, trying to pack a bag. The room is filled with mess. Nearby someone has a bag of sandwiches and I decide to make some for the journey. The cupboards turn out to be fake cupboards concealing metal pipes. Finally I find the peanut butter along with a giant chocolate cake and a tub of chocolate spread. The tops of both spreads are off and the contents have glooped out everywhere.

A nearby DC tells me that the chocolate is better. Then AB's father walks past and gruffly says he wants to speak to me later.

I find a computer and try to log on to a forum, but there is a problem with the page. It also starts playing a Disturbed song. Hearing the noise, three cute goth girls head over and start talking to me. Two of them have Slayer T-shirts on.

They tell me they are going to meet 'The Band' (unspecified), but they are concerned because 'they are sexually transmitted'. I realise this doesn't make sense, but before being able to put any thought into it they invite me to go with them. I agree, enthusiastically, eager at the prospect of meeting the band (and potentially getting it on with one or all of these hot chicks ).

Two of them leave. The last woman has now turned grown really tall and has short ginger hair. I wrongly identify her as someone I used to work with. She asks me to stay close while we are working with JP (Operations manager from previous job). The woman is afraid of JP for some reason.

To try and convince me, she puts a hand on my chest. Whatever the gesture means, the words that pop into my head are 'manipulative bitch'. I also recall that neither me or JP still work for that company, and become lucid.

The internet cafe is busy and filled with people. The screen seems really blurry, so I spend a few moments stabilising the dream by rubbing my hands together. The tall ginger woman is still there, so I mentally suggest that she should leave.

Outside the sky is covered by a huge concrete overpass. I start flying, casually at first, doing barrel rolls and loops. There is a rainbow in the sky, so I consider doing another TOTY. My crazy flying is making things unstable, also, stupidly, flying is starting to hurt because I'm using a casual sky-swimming method rather than quick flight.

Trying to speed up aggravates things. The blue sky above and the green grass covered platforms below are spinning so fast I almost collide with one of the huge flying grass-covered rocks. Then the blue sky has become the sea, filled with enormous waves. I fly underneath a massive wave and through a tunnel of water, like a surfer.

I try to find the rainbow again, but wake up.

False awakening? Remembering that IB wanted to talk to me I head over to AB's parent's house. His dog, well, bitch, a black labradour, is lying on the ground. Her fur has turned grey. She is so old now, I remember when she was a puppy... there are now two black puppies bounding around.

24/1/2016 (sat)

Before 4.30am
ND "Body in the Tree"
The top floor of the house is level with the top of a giant tree. Up in the branches is the unmoving body of a small boy. I head downstairs, somehow ending up outside. The back door of the house is hidden behind the lower leafy branches of the tree. I push through and step inside the house.

My parents are sitting inside the room. I tell them about the body. We all walk outside together to see if we can get the boy's body down.

The tree is now colossal, towering over the house and area, higher than a skyscraper. It is also carved into sections. My father explains they are doing maintenance on the tree. We walk past a huge stump that itself is taller than the house. There is a deep vibration in the ground beneath us. Dad asks if I can hear it. It is the main root drilling down into the Earth.

We continue forwards and find more parts of the tree. It is like a jigsaw made of horizontal sections that slot together into the trunk.

Beyond the tree are standing stones. They too are cut into sections which form giant triangular pillars. They are carved to look like Iron Man and Captain America.

5-6.45am
Long LD 347 "Chasing Rainbows"
Sitting in front of a computer, playing Warcraft, when my phone rings. I hear the usual ringtone song, AC-DC Shoot to Thrill, but it is wrong somehow. My sister is on the phone. Wow this must be expensive, calling from China. She tells me about a new game she is playing. While on the phone I flick through a hardback book.

My sister stops speaking. The phone has turned into a remote control. I see my phone on the desk and pick it up, still connected.

The dream shifts to me and AB walking through a park. A dirt road runs along one side of it, separating grass land from green metal-fenced enclosures. Inside them, people are playing tennis and football. AB is tired and climbs onto my back for a lift.

I 'wake up' in an odd room with wooden panels and shelves. There is an old black cabinet as well. The room needs redecorating. It is dark and depressing. I consider getting the white paint from the garage and covering the dark wooden walls.

In the next room two people are having guitar lessons. One is using a real guitar. The other guy is using a set of buttons on a plastic board. The guy with the real guitar is very good. He plays an incredible guitar solo.

I head through the room and find a hospital filing room. It is filled with desks covered in paperwork. The walls are white with details in green and blue. Sitting at one desk is the compliance manager from my previous job, SK. He starts a rambling story about blinds. I want to say "just get some, and send me the bill", but I'm concerned about what the cost will be if they are non-standard size windows.

False awakening. I'm in a light room, it seems to be late morning. An enormous truck drives past the window, just millimetres from the wall. The cab is above the height of the window. Several men are looking out as they go past. I start to read a book, remaining in bed.

The next truck comes through the wall. The convey of heavy machines continues, tearing apart the wall as I dive out of the way across the room. This is insane. I become lucid. The trucks have gone, leaving the inside of the room a complete mess but the wall somehow intact.

I phase through the wall and see the convoy of trucks, which are now giant robot machines, heading off down a road towards a town. I'm kinda angry, and decide to chase them down. Using super-fast flight I head down the twisting roads into the town and catch up with the rear robot.

Using super strength I pummel the huge metal machine with my standard fists, smashing it apart and throwing large sections of it into the air. The dream scene is unstable and rewrites everything as a game on a tiny screen, with me flailing around controlling a little character, like it's Kinect or something.

My parents are sitting nearby and patiently ask what I'm doing. The screen refuses to project itself up onto the wall, so I phase through the wall in search of a new goal. Opposite is a cafe/bar full of DCs staring at me. I clap my hands to check how stable the dream is. Seems fine.

I start running fast through the streets, searching for a motorbike, when the TOTY springs to mind. I start flying fast again, shooting up through the buildings into the sky. Sure enough there is a rainbow there. It looks like a gigantic beam of energy coming from another planet. It also has a countdown of numbers projected within the beam. The race is on. Flying as fast as I can, I follow the beam of rainbow coloured light. Just as it looks about to hit the ground, it twists back up into the sky.

7-8.20am
Short LD 348 "Rock Tree"
For most of the dream I am exploring an unknown city with JR. We end up at a beach. It is sunset. Another DC starts talking about climbing the cliffs and we head off to give it a try.

Later in the dream I am trying to deal with a possessed kid, or possibly a ghost boy. It's not clear. The evil/ghost boy flies up to a high shelf in the kitchen and starts pushing items off. They tumble and smash on the ground. I notice there is a real boy, probably just a couple of years old, sitting below, and run to protect him from the falling items.

After some false awakenings, I end up in a room full of people slapping each other. They refuse to stop fighting. In the corner of the room is a Christmas tree. It is also drawing in energy to the whole room. I become lucid and spot several holes in the tree-thing, which now appears to be a stone statue of a tree. On the floor are a bunch of glowing rocks, and I pick them up and start placing them into the holes. The tree pulses with more power. It almost falls on me and I push the tree, which is also as heavy as a rock, back upright.

The fight around me is getting a bit out of hand. I try to stop it.

I'm visiting a trade fair and join a small group of female shamans for a workshop. They talk about archaic practices to highten awarenes, especially an exercise where one has to sleep on the top of the roof, which automatically keeps awareness high enough to sleep but not fall over. As we talk about that, I'm warped onto a roof and have to do the exercise. Outside, at night, I nearly lose grip when falling asleep and that makes me lucid. "This already IS a dream! Thank you guys" I think and start to levitate above the house. Then I fly, higher, faster, like a drone above the city. Steering is easy and as I have great control, I like to try to deliberately fly into houses. I expect to softly morph through the ceiling, but I crash though the wall hard. It does not hurt, but the wall bursts and after me going through there is plenty debris. I repeat that for fun a few times, deliberately crashing into walls from fast flight. Then I focus on a big building and after crashing into it, I stay there and look around. I now have to pack stuff and organize clearing the building and move out, as a group of DCs which are some sort of a team I manage, tell me. I start doing that, losing a little of my lucidity in the action, as I stumble over a plastic bag full of rotting trash effusing a horible smell. I quickly leave the room into the hall where a twenty-something old guy aproaches me with a tulip. He mumbles something about an earlier meeting and a promise I would have made. I don't remember anything about that and feel very uncomfortably, besieged as his intentions are clear and I'm not gay. I decide to leave the scene, saying that I have to leave. I then awaken.

That dream happened around 6 am after WBTB and "failed" SSILD.

For as long as I can remember, I had control of many of my dreams. I have recently found out that that is defined as being a "lucid dreamer".... I'm glad that I run across this site to maybe get some answers and to learn more.

Last night, I had a weird dream...I was in church for a while on this row with prophetess' and fortune tellers who said they only do it to pay the bills. They were giving "prophecies"...told one person that they were going to get a raise from their secretary job, told another woman something else and then told me something but I didn't here what she said because everyone was so loud. Afterwards, I asked her what she said and she said that I was a person that does well in small groups and I get nervous if I'm speaking to a large crowd (I didn't think that they said all of that last time but I didn't care that much). Anyways, I went to my friend's house and I wanted to create a car so that I could get around. So I created a car...a nice golden colored SUV...however, I'm not very good at controlling it yet so it backed up into a car and drove across the street. (need to figure that out) So, I decided to erase the car, which I did. I then looked up and there was a police SUV across the street. I wasn't sure where it came from so I tried to erase it....when I waved my hand to erase it, it didn't move but the back window lifted up and there was a guy there with a device in his hand looking at me. So, I went to the other room where my friend was and told him that I had to leave the dream because someone must know what I did.....I woke up but I didn't totally wake up as I was in my bed alone and I saw that guy at the edge of the bed...then I woke up woke up.
I went back to sleep and the dream was pretty normal...similar to the previous dream I had and of course I still knew that I was in a dream....the next thing I knew, I was in this room sitting down watching tv of my dream (for like 3 seconds). Kind of reminded me of when a tv show was going off....then the tv went fuzzy and a voice said, "911 what's your emergency"....I said I didn't call 911 and there is no emergency....then, I woke up but I wasn't trying to wake up.
I went back to sleep and things were normal again, I did decide to have my family close to me so I brought my Mom, Dad, Gam Gam and Nana....I think my siblings were there too and we were just talking....next thing I knew, I was in that same room again sitting down watching tv of my dream (only 3 seconds again)...again, the tv went fuzzy and this voice came on and said "You called 911 ten minutes ago, what's your emergency". Once again I tried to ask who it was and what was going on and found myself waking up again but not because I was trying to wake up...
After that, I decided NOT to go back to sleep again as I was starting to get annoyed. LOL.
I've heard other people have this same thing happen to them. Usually, these police apparently have "greater power" than the lucid dreamer. If you are found to be doing a lot of things that are bad, they come and arrest you. It appears that I may have been arrested and I'm stuck in this "room".... I know some people mentioned being on a bed and not being able to move. I haven't had a chance to really look at what this room is or if I'm stuck as it seems like me being in that room makes me wake up....any thoughts would be greatly appreciated

I dreamt I was in the church that I used to go to. I was sitting down at one of the benches, getting ready for it to start, and saw my other church friends there, and this one guy who is into drama/has a ponytail who I know. I think he had a tophat on.

At this point, I remember getting lucid, and deciding that I really didn't want to go to church, so I left the pews and tried flying/levitating myself. I floated around 30-60 cm off the ground and flew towards the wall, with others watching me as I did it. I think I phased through, but it's unclear, as after that, I was floating above this kind of weird, red and blue verticle tunnel thing, with my surroundings being dark, but the tunnel being illuminated. I forget, but I think there was a person floating there too--reminded me of this one anime--and she was talking about it being a game, I think.

I then flew down through the tunnel, and maybe around. I can't remember exactly. Soon, I was in this doorway with some red and blue beads--the plastic kind--hanging down from the doorway like a curtain. One string of beads was red, the next was blue, and they alternated like that. So I decided to pull on them and try and break them. I did that for a bit, and that was fun.

At some point it turned into me feeling like I was physically pulling off some beads outside of the dream--off a blanket or something--with my eyes closed. I stopped, felt the beads--they felt solid--and I pulled off a few more before worrying that I was actually ruining something. Then I think I tried opening my eyes, though I think I was still dreaming, and saw some light blue beads attached to my blue blanket I think--I could be wrong on the colours. I got really worried then and started feeling them harder, but then I soon only felt the fabric of my blanket, and that's when I woke up.

Okay, so at the beginning of the dream, I was skateboarding with some kids through trails/paths/so on. It was fun. I've never really skateboarded in waking life because I'm too anxious. Anyways, we got to these fences, and I tried skating towards them and then vertically up them, but I kept failing. Then, I tried flying over them, but I could only float around 30-60 cm or so. The other kids found the flying cool though.

It was just after this that I'm sure I got lucid. I decided to try skating over the wall again--it was more vivid now, so it was more fun, but alas I had no success. Then this really cool fence thing appeared, which kind of looked like an upside down staircase in the air, with the top step in front of me/connected to the ground.

After a bit more skateboarding, the visuals started to fade, so I tried a stabalization technique that I thought of myself in an earlier lucid (others have likely tried it far before me, but I had never heard of it). I focused on the tactile and auditory sensations in the dream--the sound of the skateboard, and the feel of it beneath my feet, and kind of 'hung on' to that until one minute later, the visuals returned.

Then, I decided to skate off from that place and go towards my house (I didn't plan on it being my house, it's just where I ended up going). When I got there, I went upstairs I think and noticed this kid, staring at me. He was kind of creeping me out, so I tried to move to another room (I think my mother's) to avoid him. He got in there too, I think? I don't remember much about the exact details of this part. I think I tried to teleport at one point but failed. At one point he was standing on the top of the stairs, and I freaked out and pushed him down--he didn't look like a normal kid, I knew it was a dream, and I was scared. He fell, and I ran to my room.

In my room, I peaked out the door and noticed that he was there. Really scared now, I made a kind of wand motion with my hand and said 'Avada kedavra!' and he crumpled to the ground. He got up though soon, and then I said 'Crucio!' and he fell again. Yes, looking back on things, I was a horrible person. He seemed to go off and leave me alone after this, and then I decided that I might as well try some dream control stuff, but at that point I was starting to wake up.

I was at an intersection with my sister. It looked like there was a fire over the hills. We see what looks like a huge rocket fly into the sky. We look at it in awe as it flies around, gradually getting closer to us. We find it's actually more like a car as it almost hits us. I start to think "what if I'm dreaming" and realize I'm dreaming. I decide to attack the car by punching it. "Die! Die! Die!" The scene suddenly changes to me looking at the ground. I see some minty fresh gum, and eat it. Very minty! I jump up to fly but can't go too fast because my body is heavy. I look around and it's very overcast. The landscape had sort of an end of the world look to it. I woke up.

I wake up to the sound of a television. I don't have a television. I realize I'm in my grandmas house and stumble around, feeling dizzy. I remember my dream goal to summon a book and read the title. I put my hand behind my back but feel a hand instead. I spin around to see who it is and wake up.
DILD 3
A young lady and I are racing around a house down some stairs. I realize the house isn't mine and that I'm dreaming. I go outside and put my hand to my side and summon a book. A felt a hefty book and looked at the title. The title was in big letters and was short but I still couldn't read it. I turned the book upside down and could read the title. It read: Old Bot Book. I put it down and tried to summon paigeyemps but couldn't and woke up.

In my room, alarm sounds and a DC walks in and says something, I realize that I only see this person IRL on Saturdays but it is actually Friday, so it must be a dream, but as I realize this I wake up.

I was at an oceanside boardwalk amusement park. I was thinking it was the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, until I noticed there was no Giant Dipper. In it's place was a giant empty area with a cheap cart train going around. I also noticed I was sitting at a table with a female friend of mine. "Isn't it weird with Giant Dipper not being there?" I asked her. she said "No, it has Herpes in it's place." (Whatever that is) I got up to go to the ocean, which was conveniently right next to me. I found I was wearing a life jacket and took it off. I jumped in the ocean, which was clear, but crowded with DCs. I put my hand behind my back and called for a dolphin. I felt a beak and turned my hand around and the full-sized bottlenose was there. I tried to grab its dorsal fin to ride it but it swam away. I woke up.
