lucid

Morning of September 26, 2015. Saturday.



In my dream, I am focused on my childhood dream girl scenario. Though I now know her in reality as my beautiful wife Zsuzsanna, my long-term memory is not accessible (which in fact is typical in many dream types). I am perhaps about twenty-five years old.

I look to her right and notice we are probably either in an isolated forest or possibly a park. My attention becomes focused on what looks like writing superimposed on the largest tree in the foreground, each letter perhaps about the size of a leaf. I become semi-lucid yet distracted by the idea of “learning” something in a dream state by reading it, which is usually futile.

Just under that tree in the foreground, I see a brighter light, which I am aware is my conscious mind at one level, like a potential portal to waking from the present scenario. This intrigues me. However, the landscape “under” and beyond the tree seems slightly miniature. I am not sure if I can “fit” under the sky if I choose to walk in that direction. I may bump my head on the sun and possibly burn some of my hair off.

The “writing” on the tree becomes more annoying as I “realize” that I am not looking at letters of the alphabet even though I am. For a time, I think I am looking at horseshoes that somehow got thrown into the tree over time by enthusiastic horseshoe players. However, I eventually become aware that I am in fact looking at “letters”, but mostly only “C” and “U” in a random sequence. I reflect that this may be some sort of binary code and consider trying to “interpret” or decode it.

Strangely enough, my dream-self does not even become aware of the play on “CU” (as in “see you”) at any point even though I am quite lucid prior to fading. I decide to move forward to wake. The ray of sunlight reminds me vaguely of a yellow number two pencil from my school days, held up diagonally, writing intricate “shadow writing” over the path ahead.

I had a bunch of wine before bed. About 5-6 glasses, it is a very weak homemade sort of wine, more like beer. The glasses were small. Probably equivalent to 2 regular glasses of wine, alcohol-wise. Also a few sips of Jagermeister .

Also had a bedtime snack of a scrambled egg sandwich with cheese, and a glass of milk. Think I'll be repeating this in the future!

No recall before the dreams that went lucid.

+ (LD#146) Law book, spider-master man, (LD) garage tour
I'm about to start studying a really thick book for Law School. We have to remember every single detail from the book. I'm a bit nervous about how I'm going to remember all this detail. I think I should prepare a notepad with me to take notes while I read. I flip through the book to see how many pages it has. The same page numbers (90-something?) keep repeating throughout the book, they don't keep increasing. I say "every chapter starts over at page one!" I go look for the table of contents to try to determine how many pages there are. I finally determine there are somewhere around 600 (?) pages in the book.

I start reading through the book. One one page there is a diagram towards the bottom of the page depicting and naming about 6 different styles of boat. Some of them look like little "Orion" ships from the computer space battle "empire", and are labeled "orion-<something>". Do I have to remember this, too?

There is a veteran lawyer in the room, he's busy working on something. I want advice on studying, do I really have to remember everything? I go up to him and respectfully say "excuse me, may I ask you a quick question, it won't take long" but he shakes his head "no," he's preparing for a client?

I keep studying the book some more. Then I go back to the guy a bit later and ask again "I just want to know do I have to remember every single detail from the book?" He says yes, you have to memorize everything.

I'm standing outside and the lawyer guy comes. I want to get away from him so I transform myself into a little spider and slip through a crack. He keeps coming like he knows where I am. Again I transform into a little spider and slip through a railing on a stairway and down to the ground floor. He keeps coming at me. I think he is the "spider master". I ask him "do you always know where all spiders are?" He says "yes." Then I either ask or he volunteers that there are thousands of spiders within the immediate vicinity. He says that there's a room (garage?) with zillions of spiders there, he detects them now, and offers to show me.

I follow him and we walk around a corner in the hallway in this house and there's the door to the garage. I'm surprised by a large (reddish?) stuffed fish that is hanging from a wire from the ceiling down just above my head that starts wiggling in alarm when we come around the corner. I also glance on the far wall and see something crawling there I think it's a large spider. I do a nose pinch RC from the surprise/oddness of the situation and I can breathe, I'm lucid.

The man is continuing the tour but I decide to ditch and go back outside to the right where I met him. There is a DC there

Spoiler for sexy situation:

and I engage and kiss it briefly. It doesn't seem into it, but then I offer up some tongue and it enthusiastically responds and we french for a few seconds.

I decide that I want to go on the tour now. I head back to the garage door and the man is there and I say something like "let's go on the tour." We head in to the garage. There is a small group now of people on the tour. There are a bunch of rooms all connected, like garage/laundry rooms. There are no spiders, I note. In one room I glance in and see a bunch of stuffed animals. Very life-like. One is a small dog. I think I could transform that dog into my old dog "L" and bring it back to life. We walk on.

I encounter the DC I was interacting with earlier

Spoiler for sexy situation:

and give it a quick squeeze around its crotch area. I reach for its butt too but

mistakenly touch some woman who's walking by. At that point some kid throws something at the woman, distracting her.

We're then in another room. This is the family of jr-high GF KS. This room preserves statues (like wax) of the 3 girls in the family as they were at various ages growing up, each one riding the bicycle that they had at that age. Also extremely life-like. I notice one who I think is HS (brown hair) but none of the faces are right. I also look for JS but don't see her. There are lots of people in the group of various ages, I see the face of a girl, I do not know her. Dream starts slowly slowly fading
and I'm awake. Try to DEILD back in but am awake, so I spend time recalling the dream.
Time lucid: ~4-5 mins

+ (LD#147) dolphin, animals, "Sylvah"
Memory of the dream begins with me walking into a room and stopping dead in my tracks, because there in the room standing on its "head" is a dolphin! It's "walking" that way? It's also part cucumber? I notice in the next room beyond two tiny penguins (pigeon-sized) standing close together. I do a nose pinch and I can breathe, am lucid. I thank the dolphin (and pat it?) as I walk by out on to the deck [of childhood home apparently]. In the corner to the right are some shelves with pairs of little live animals. There is a pair of pigeons there and I choose a pair of little rodents and put them on my right shoulder to perch there. I turn to the right looking down the length of the deck and ask them "what would you guys like to do? Go flying? "Find" some girls?" I reach the corner where the deck turns to the left and on the other side of the railing I see a girl there doing something. I say happily "Hi! My name's <real name>, what's your name?" She comes up to the other side of the railing and whispers something which I can't hear. I want her to speak louder. She says, audibly this time, "Sylvah." I reach over the railing and put each hand under each of her armpits and lift/pull her over the railing to my side. I place her with her back against the front railing. I lean down in front of her and kiss her briefly. I then ask, "would you like to go to the beach under the bridge?" She shakes her head and says "No....too cold....". I then say "how about an inland beach by a lake, warm?" She nods her head "yes." I want to get her into her bikini. I lift up her shirt (she's wearing something like loose pajamas) and see a bikini top, lower the top, and pull down her pants and she's wearing a bikini bottom.
the dream fades at this point (or I just lose lucidity).

I then return non-lucid to the place where the animals were on the corner of the deck by the door. I'm taking some notes with a pen on a plastic transparency. I realize the notes will be permanent. I'm recording how large a dose of sleeping pills I gave the girl (?). I write a big cursive "g" and a 3? I think "3g, no, that's way too much, probably meant mg." I think I shouldn't be writing this here, people will come and find what I've written.

Time lucid: ~1.5 mins

3hrs into my sleep - Delta Sleep

I was showing my friend how to do instant messaging on my phone. This was happening during Delta Sleep. I was explaining to him how each message I send goes instantly to the other person. This was shown automatically in Delta Sleep as the messages would just disappear as soon as you send them. Each letter would disappear and no time would be lost. There was no time for thinking as this could not be done in Delta Sleep. The instant messages were spontaneous and live not loosing any time.

FA RC nose plug fail and couldn't find my hands. I was asleep but it seemed like I was awake in bed. I got up and headed for the door to see what would be outside. I had some paralysis in my face which disappeared quickly.

When I went out the door and into long corridor a bit like a boarding school. I went flying down near the top of the ceiling with a nice feel of weightlessness and ease like I was a ghost. There were a lot of rules in this boarding school and there did not seem to be a way out. I went back to a room where my ex-wife was. It was as if we were still married. We opened the window of the dorm and climbed out. At this point I was starting to loose lucidity as I thought it was real that it could be dangerous to fly to high. She was trying to keep my safe!!! It was a nice dream I guess. As I flew up into the night sky it was cold and raining. I could feel the dark dreary atmosphere.

When I landed it was if I went forward in time because all of a sudden I had forgotten about my ex-wife and was happy to head into town. My lucidity also went. Some DCs told me that flying is really dangerous and other people have got in trouble for it. I believed them and thought I better be careful forgetting I was in a dream.

A group of us got together and caught a taxi into town. The girl in the front seat was beautiful and I started to chat her up. I held her with my arm as if to protect her and she liked it. 'Why did you do that?' she asked. 'I could see that you were cold' I said. I could see rain drops from outside on her tanned smooth shoulder. She turned her face to me and we kissed. She had black curly hair, dark brown eyes and a joyful complexion. When she got out of the taxi I said to her I might see her around town and she happily agreed. I fell very happy with the whole dream and woke up.

I was talking to someone about something sonic related and watching them care for a chao. Than they asked someone else if they should put their chao in a specific place. I was excited to see what they would do next and found it kind of funny. A girl than moved a Amy character with a chao into the pond for it to swim i think. But than the scene began to swirl and i was pushed into an ocean.

There i began to think about how dreamy this felt and suddenly i was being pushed around the ocean from behind. I was pondering what it could be than suddenly the large creature showed itself and i got on it. It was a large sea dragon. But the thing is i didn't notice any color just a dragon shadow. I rode it around for a while until a little blonde girl appeared and tried to push me into the dragon's mouth. At first it felt like i was swallowed but than i just swam above the ocean and acted like it didn't happen.

Floating above i saw glaciers and ice and the sky looked like the arctic sky. There were even penguins that looked almost like adventure time Gunthers. They began pushing me back into the water when i tried to get up. But i managed to get on the ice by leaping onto it. The scene changed though and I was now princess peach jumping around on a train track in the woods. I heard the train coming than flew to the side of the tracks jumping around just enjoying the moment.

Again, the scene changed and I was in the bathroom washing my hands. I noticed that the door was open and was reminded how my dreaming mind switches me to the bathroom a lot.A music than popped up so I decided to sing to it since my voice would sound better in the dream. But i decided to stop being distracted and call Dawn, hoping he would be in my room. I opened the bathroom door than went to my room and saw two figures hiding in the blanket covers. They were laughing and hiding so i jumped on the bed and told them I could see them.

There was Dawn and Eye under the blanket. I didn't know who to hug first so i went closer to eye. But instead, for some weird reason, I grabbed his hands and let him push me into the air with his feet. I remember while that happened there was beautiful piano tunes that popped up twice and i tried to sing to it but i sounded awful so i stopped.Next thing I recall is Eye laughed but when he put me down I looked to Dawn and i noticed his eyes were small,sort of watery and like small Japanese eyes. He also had a serious face.I felt bad for going to Eye without hugging him first so I was about to hug him but than I woke up.

[Also, Dawn did talk to me in the dream but i forgot what he said. I think it was about the music because i mentioned how it popped up again]

I was at a gym working on football skills when I had an urge to go train in a different part of the city so I hopped on my bike after talking to the UNL head coach and saying hi. We were about to have a tour and I just left this black dude standing there as I left (He was very short) I said peace and continued my way top the lake with a path through the middle I kept my phone on me and submerged and this other guy came riding by me as I was dripping there and I said "I forgot to take my phone out haa" and it started ringing to my great relief. It was Karly serrid and I ignored it based on the fact that i was working out. before that I also had a container lid headed for the top of the windmill. It was defying gravity and pulling water up along this ramp and I ran on the stone path right next to it trying to retrieve it in time. In the process I realized that the stones were muddy and that's when I realized I submerged my phone.

I was in my basement but it was morphed and my dad was cleaning and I was about to shower and join him, the door was like a old saloon door and could open from top and bottom. I had to close both and once I did I was in a truck(?) headed for a secret destination like I had been kidnapped, then I was watching the truck from behind (almost like shots from a movie) and when the truck started turning into a parking lot it was two dimensional with only two wheels. I thought "how did they fit in there"? so I plugged my nose and breathed through it. At first I didn't believe it because my breath was extremely weak. I tried it several times with varying levels of success (80% probably had to do with the normal rhythm) I then decided I would try flying instead. I was suddenly in my room which added to my confusion and I realized I was in my brothers bed so that helped convince me I was dreaming. I was having a very had time controlling my motors and keeping my eyes open. I stumbled toward my door and the whole time was shouting things like "more light" "more clarity" "better vision" *rubbing hands* when I finally made it to the stairs my dad walked down them and I was worried he had heard me yelling in bed (dumb) so I stopped fighting and allowed my self to wake up.
-when I did wake up, it was weird because I couldn't breath very well due to a stuffed nose (weak breathing) and I had had a dream earlier that I had looked at my clock and seen 9:08 but at the time I thought I had looked at my clock and seen that time, it worried me because yoga starts at 9:15 and I thought I was gonna miss it so I went back to bed. When I just woke up and recorded the above dream I looked at the clock when I got out of bed and it was 9:08

I only remember fragments of this dream, but with a clear lucid moment.

I am preparing to fly and have one arm reaching up overhead and one by my side like superman. I am thinking something along the lines of maybe this will work better since I usually I can't fly in dreams (this must have planted a awareness seed).

missing fragment?

I am floating high up in the sky, flying towards a castle/building on-top of a mountain in the distance. I think to myself "This is a lucid dream" but only half believe it, but that thought itself works - my perception then changes, with the shift to lucidity - the lucid moment happens so fast I can barely take anything in, but I feel the wind and cold air around me, and the floating sense of being suspended high in the sky. Then I think with absolute certainty, "Ok Yes, I am 100% sure I am having a lucid dream now!"

I take a turn, (not sure why) thinking I will practice flying, but then I lose my balance, and start to fall.

And just like that, no more lucidity

I think this was a FA in which I deilded.
Not too sure.

Lucidity: 6/10
Control : 8/10
Vivacity: 8/10

I'm lucid in the middle of a court room. There is a window on my right and one high up in the front wall; everything is made out of wood. I "remember" (false memory I think) a previous dream in this same place that I had before. In this dream, someone came I to the room and started something which I can't remember... must have been unpleasant though because I jump off my chair and shoot flying through the narrow front window. Outside is an unessesarily complex composition of houses and building, all made out of poorly refined wood. As I fly around more, I notice that some of the houses are even upside down and that there is a wooden ceiling in place of the sky. I keep slaloming between buildings at relatively low speed until I enter a house. There, I decide to see if I can change gravity. I step onto a wall and with next to no effort at all, I walk around onto it. I step out the window and take a walk from wall to ceiling to floor, until I eventually reach a window which leads to the only thing other than me which is not made out of wood, my house. I jump into it to look around. When I reach the kitchen, I sense that "the ant queen" is coming. Sure enough, after a few seconds, children-sized slave ants come in holding one of those portable thrones, on which an adult-sized ant sits. Just for the hell of it, I punch it in the face. That angers the ants an what follows is some kind of lower level lucidity war between the ants and me, until I realize that their weakness is cat food and I wake up.

LD: I was hanging out with my brother when I was going through some things about weird directional forces of quantum mechanics or something and it wasn't working. We started to have the discussion about when we both started realizing. WERE IN A DREAM!. I started working with him to try and build something out of nothing but it wasn't working. I turned to him and said "I seem to have a case of stage fright and cannot perform the action" he gave it a shot and couldn't do it either so we just kind of moved objects around for a bit while enjoying the familiar buzz of awareness

My fragment dream was me stumbling through this huge building and accidently running into an office with Doctor Who in it (old Scottish actor) I knocked over a picture book and then said sorry and the lady at the front desk looked at it got up and started fixing it so I helped and then the actor came over and I dont remember from there.

After this I had a dream where I was at a fair ground and my Mom and little brother and Simon and a couple were with us. Eventually it started raining so we had to get going but we only had the blue Oldsmobile so the first road we tried was blocked off because of flooding and we whipped a U-ey and headed back into oncoming traffic which also turned around and headed back (no idea how) when we got back we jumped in a hot air balloon type device that was pretty open to the elements and actually not to safe. My littlest brother was asleep and I was holding on to him and some of the rigging to try to keep us steady while my mom entered the cockpit trying to fly. We ended up heading straight for the ground and started to skim trees, I was trying to cover my little brothers face but an eyelid got snagged. Nothing bad happened to him but it had me worried. We hit the ground and I asked him if it was okay and he said ya, it was a little red and my have had a scratch on the cornea. The next thing I knew there was a guy talking about how his girlfriend needs to work and my mom who he was talking to (I thought oh sh!t shes a stay at home mom she will be pissed) and sure enough she slapped him lightly and said some thing I dont remember.

I've started Lucid Dreaming in 2011 with mostly blurry and short DILDs. Now i have some time to get serious about my methods and control techniques.

[/FONT][FONT=Tahoma]After a lengthy dream about walking around my school, the dream scene suddenly changed into my house's living room. I noticed the sudden change and started asking about what happened. My father told me something that was weird to be true.. I used the stairs to head towards the exit of the house. Along the way, i lifted my left hand and looked at it when i noticed that my hand looked weird.

[COLOR=#0000cd]I became lucid,[/COLOR][COLOR=#000000] and with that came the usual way of hurrying over doing my goals. As a result, i forgot to stabilize the dream and straight away rushed for summoning a DG.. Yelling and stretching my arm hoping for results and i got none. I stopped and remembered a method of summoning, and i proceeded by reaching out for the DG with my hand towards my back. I felt a hand grab into mine and then i headed towards the exit door and let go of that hand as i got through. I stopped and looked back to see who it is that i was grabbing the hands of. To my surprise, a heavily distorted shadow person slowly passed through the door. At this moment, the dream was fading away. In hopes of stabilizing the dream, i used the spinning technique but i ended up in the void instead. In there i heard someone say something that i forgot by now.

In the end of it all, a game save screen appeared and it saved on slot one.. which was then followed by everything going to black and me waking up.[/COLOR][/FONT]

With a poignant story, To the Moon explores the premise of two doctors completing a patient's final wish before his passing. The dream started off in the game; I laid on the floor face down as the screen fades into pitch blackness. Not too long into the game, I found myself inside the accompany of a ghostly figure lurking beneath the shadows. I barely made out who he or she was; I barely opened my eyes.

"Don't worry, Sxerks. The doctors will be here shortly." Those were the words of a carer of mine, Lily. Lily was originally a babysitter, but ever since the passing of my girlfriend, she had cared for me. Like, a girlfriend would. Suddenly, I felt extremely ill. She had pulled me upstairs, and into bed, where she sat by my side. Soon enough, the doctors arrive. They examined that the illness was terminal, and that I had two days to live.

Lily felt devastated. Her hands were covered in tears streaming down her soothing face. The doctors comforted Lily, and asked whether I had any last wishes. She replied that I've always wanted to travel to the moon. I've always had the curiosity of what the moon was like. Ever since the passing of my girlfriend, I promised myself that I would see her again in the moon. After all, her last words were: "We'll meet again soon..."

Each night, I found myself with someone. She may not be physically there, but spiritually, she's with me. Each night, she would write on the blackboard what she wanted me to do. One night, it was "We'll meet in the moon"; the next night, it was "You're not alone". But tonight was different, she wasn't there. She wasn't by my side when I needed it the most; when I felt terminally ill.

The doctors agreed to take me to the moon. Traversing back through all of my nostalgic memories, I often found myself pondering and contemplating about what I've experienced during my life. Soon enough, the most tragic and hardest memory they've come across was when I was in my late childhood years. It was a misty morning of 2009, my family and I travelled to the vet to pick up my dog who was extremely ill. As soon as we walked into the room, the vet, depressed as she was, broke the depressing news. Her face broke into dejection, as she delivered the news. Our dog was terminally ill, and was taken out of its misery.

The family broke into tears, but they're not as affected as I am. I stood there, frozen, because I didn't believe the news. Or, at least, I didn't want to believe the news. I slowly walked to the draped curtains, and saw my dog lying on the bench. I tried to talk to the dog, but to no avail. I wanted the final say before we left in disconsolate.

Soon enough, the doctors manage to find a way to take me to the moon. I hopped into the rocket ship and waited. The rocket took off; the stars were beautiful close up, and guess who was waiting on the moon? My girlfriend. I had kept my promise and saw my girlfriend, as the heart monitor came to a final dead line.

Sense of many many dreams this night. Forgot some early ones. Dream signs in bold.

+ apple tree
I'm standing in a small quiet garden. Someone else is here. In front of me I see a small tree with an umbrella-shaped canopy. It's about 10 feet tall. There is one large red & yellow mottled colored apple hanging from the tree. I reach for it and pick it. It is slightly bumpy, not perfectly spherical. It is pretty heavy and I imagine it will be really good. I say something to the person there. The leaves of the tree are completely covered with light webbing from worms/moths like on in my apple tree IWL.

+ basketball
Playing basketball, scramble for the ball, the other team ends up kicking it and it rolls all the way through our side of the court and out of bounds. I imagine taking it out. Later, I'm setting up a position to take a shot, from half-way up the key on the side (like when playing "round-the-world"). I will bank the ball off the backboard. I take the shot (but there's no ball visible?)

+ (f) video tape
Operating a tape in a video tape (VCR) machine. I see the tape and it's sort of thin.

WBTB

+ frisbee
I'm hanging out in a backyard near a fence with good friend IvKr (company L). I want to play frisbee with him but I sense he's reluctant because he doesn't want to throw the frisbee over the neighbor's fence and have to go searching for it in their yard. I say "that's OK, I have developed excellent control skills", and I take the frisbee and give it a light toss towards the center of the yard. It flies slowly about 10 feet and hovers for a second before dropping.

I run out into the center of the yard and I notice that the lawn is bare of grass in number of spots.
IK throws the frisbee really hard/fast and I manage to catch it and say "oh HO! So I can do strong throws like that, too!" And I show him how I used to [true IWL] throw "discuss-style" and say "in this way I can throw it for hundreds of yards!" and do a throw like this but very very softly so it doesn't fly over the fence.

Then I notice that IK is standing in the yard, naked, bent over, butt facing me, and is mooning me. I'm sort of grossed out by this but I see that he has a very female-looking butt and no male sex organs, it looks like a v-jay in fact. But I still look away because I "don't want to go blind."

+ fly from deck (LD#144)
I'm upstairs in my childhood home in my parents' bedroom. I pick up a pack of wet wipes and something else (a small cylinder?) and head to my bedroom for some "quality me-time". My door is open (there is no door?) and I think that's sort of risky since I'm just a room away from where people are. I turn right into my room from the hallway, and my son S2 is following me and I don't want him to see what I'm doing so I stash the things I'm carrying quickly on a shelf (on the wall of shelves) fairly high up and immediately head out and down the stairs. Part way down the stairs I look through the railing and see S2 is still in my room, craning his head poking into the shelves to see what I put there with a sort of smirk on his face and I'm annoyed at his persistence in trying to figure out what I'm doing.

I walk out on to the deck and lean forwards against the railing with my arms on the top and think why haven't I come out here yet on to the deck on this trip? There are a few strange bolts sticking up out of the top of the railing in a few places. I'm admiring the view. I turn go around the corner to the left towards the steps down to the garden and turn back towards the view. I get the idea of trying to fly. I think, "wouldn't it be awesome if I could transition into a dream and start flying from being totally awake, like I am now? I take a quick running start and stretch my arms out in front of me and wish that I could be lucid and fly, and I don't fall down, I'm flying, and I'm lucid! [*2] I fly out over the city below and I'm seeing the trees, buildings, roads, fairly far below me and really enjoying the view. I want to go faster so I pull back a fist and thrust it forwards quickly [*1] and I start moving over the landscape faster. I look up and see the view and city S in the distance, I want to go there.

I am now flying at ground level and a car is approaching across the water which fills the street. I want to get to the car, it's a small brownish-orange compact. It starts turning away from me and driving in a circle, but I'm really slow now. I want to go faster but can't. I do a bit of "air swimming". There's a female in the car I want to get to? As I get to the car, the dream fades.

[*1] like in the "superman with a go-pro" video
[*2] (It worked, I got lucid from being awake!?)

+ talking to tall guy friend (LD#145)
I'm standing in a garden outside in daylight, there are a lot of people there. I'm standing near the side of a house with a friend who's a very tall guy, who seems at least 1 foot taller than me. My friend is leaning his back up against the wall, and I'm standing in front of him, close, facing him, and looking up into his face. Another friend is standing to my right / his left. I'm trying to figure out just how tall he is. I hold my hand above my head at the level of the top of my friend's head and figure out his height. I say "you're what, like 6'7"?" He/the other friend says " 6'6" " I say " 6'6"? ".

Then I'm standing in my room in my childhood home [don't realize this] near the closet door and the window, standing close to this tall friend, with my right elbow on his left shoulder, with my right hand placed affectionately on the back of his head, and I'm telling him the details of lucid dream #144. "...Then I took off flying and I made the superman gesture and started flying even faster" "Cool!" my friend says. Then I look at my friend and I start to realize...and say "in fact, I'm lucid dreaming right now!" Let's go to the next room, there are a bunch of girls there and we can <bleep>. I lead him to the next room. There are lots of girls seated around (circular?) tables. I say "here, you can <bleep> this one, I want one with bigger <bleep>s, and select one. Dream is getting unstable/fading.

Then I'm non-lucid and standing with some girl (my choice when lucid?) and I'm handing her some bills from my wallet to pay for some classes which I want (my kids?) to take.

So, if you guys are unaware of this game, Journey is an amazing immersive game. You play as a red robed figure in the midst of a desert. What's striking, however, is that there are no words to read off of; the only communication that you have is with a buddy randomly joining your server. You don't know who (s)he is; you don't know whether or not you've played with them before. And yet, it's so captivating. The music pounds your ears, but in the best way possible as you fly, slide, and jump your way around the vast open world that Journey has to offer.

My dream started off how it normally would; I would be immersed straight into the game. No distractions, it was just full-on exploration as I flew across the gleaming sand, climb on awe-inspiring mountains, and slid across the mountaintops. The fact that I could experience this in a first-person like view was just one of the most amazing dreams I've ever had.

What's even more surprising was that I was abruptly interrupted by the sound of footsteps coming my way. I didn't comprehend what that was until the second I looked over my shoulder to find a mysterious robed-like figure staring right back at me over at the mountaintops. I walked over to it cautiously, as it glissaded past the fluorescent sands. As soon as it stopped, I understood it was another person in my dreams. I investigated it, because I didn't know the gender of this robed figure, and attempted to talk to it. The robed figure didn't respond, rather it lead the way to one of the most genuine and most captivating scenery I could imagine. Across the mountaintops stood one of the most beautiful topography I could even begin to describe.

To my right stood a riverside, trees were swaying over the top of the river as the reflection subtly faded away. Clouds slowly faded in and out of the shot, as the winds were blowing away softer than silk. There was a waterfall not too far to the rivers, and the sound of water tingling away into the rivers was enough for this experience to be one I'll always remember as the "most beautiful thing ever".

To my left stood obscured mountains faded through the tough mist of fading clouds. Look below the mountains, and you'll find a village right to a lake. My jaws dropped at the very sight of this, as the blowing of sand suddenly interrupted the sheer amazing scenery I could ever dream up. I walked back down the slope, to find that the red robed figure was looking away into the clouds. The red robed figure appeared to float upwards and eventually fade into the air.

This was one of the best experiences that I could ever dream of, and will always be one of the best immersive dreams of one of my most favourite video games.

YEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS FINALLY. I had a DILD for the first time ever, really.

I remember there was even one time a while ago where I was talking about lucid dreaming with my dad in a dream once and I still didn't become lucid, so I'm starting to feel a bit more confident now.

This one ended up being a bit sexual, so I'm going to spare most of the unnecessary details. Now, it also didn't feel as real as I'd have liked it to feel, I still had that sort of disconnected feeling, which is why I've been trying the WILD method, but this was still an LD so I'm happy about it.

At first, I was in some basement with maybe 1 or 2 other people and I don't remember exactly what was happening, but out of nowhere, some visual trigger popped up which caused me to go lucid. Go ahead and guess what it was. You won't guess it correctly. Go on, guess.

...

I'l tell you what it was.

It was as if it was on my laptop screen, brightly illuminated. It seemed like a hologram at the same time though. It was a snippet of information from THIS website. It looked like it was a thread/post with some information. I immediately recognized the dark blue style, and realized it was from here. Then it clicked. I was in a dream.

I almost woke up, but I managed to stay asleep.

Next thing I know, I'm outside of this building on the street following two... very attractive (Japanese?) women somewhere. No they weren't wearing anything.

Yeah. I said it got sexual. But at the same time, I'm unsure about my level of lucidity from here on out. But I'm pretty sure I was at least somewhat aware.

One of the women became separated from the other and I stayed with one and did some... questionable things. IT WAS GREAT. Nothing really too good though. All that I can really say is that her skin was really unusually soft and smooth. Pretty strange really.

I remember her saying something like "I like shorter guys." for some reason.

I was shorter than her though, so...?

Either way, this was my first real DILD ever.

FINALLY.

Lucid dreaming is becoming a staple thought in my mind again, so this could help me have more LDs in the future.

But I'm going to mainly focus on the WILD method.

I had another lucid dream this morning. It was one of those lucid dreams where you wake up and panic a little because you can't remember much of it. I backtracked and found I remembered some of it. I'll share what I remember.

I had been in my grandparents' house when the dream started. And that's where I became lucid. My grandparent's house shows up in a lot of my dreams--probably more than any other house. I have a whole lot of happy memories connected to that place.

At some point I became lucid and did some stuff. It kind of kills me that I can't remember what I did.

But I do remember going to the front door. I thought something like, "Well, I'm still lucid and dreaming after all that, so I might as well go out and do something outdoors." As I flew out the door, I thought of how many times I had been lucid and flown out that same door.

I vaguely remember flying around. At some point I decided that I would take off my shirt. I started to do so, but for some reason I had a harder time undressing. Usually my clothes just sort of fall off me the moment that I think about it. But this time I was having difficulty pulling my shirt off over my head and flying at the same time.

Before I got my shirt completely off, I saw a high school down below. I decided to pull my shirt back down if I was going to interact with the students.

I saw three students walking outside the school buildings. I needed to do something interesting in this dream since I felt that I was mostly just wasting time to this point. I flew up and hovered in front of a girl. She was tall, thin, with straight honey brown colored hair. She had high cheek bones and light brown eyes. I don't remember what I said first. But she didn't react the way I wanted her to. So I decided to tell her that she was in my dream. She nodded and still didn't say much. How boring.

So I went up to the guy next to her. He looked much older than a high school student. He had dark hair that had some curl in it. He had an obvious 5 o'clock shadow. If he had gone another couple of days with out shaving, he would have had a very full beard.

I also told him that he was just a dream character in my dream. Like the girl he didn't seem to care. He didn't think it was weird that I was flying right in front of them.

I then kissed him. He sort of kissed me back, but without much enthusiasm.

Well, that was it. I had had enough of that kind of attitude. I somehow had a blanket with me, and I threw it around this guy, pinning his arms to his sides. I was going to kidnap him. Once he was pinned, I grabbed him and flew to the top of the highest building on campus.

I said something like, "Well if you don't care that this is just a dream, then you shouldn't care if I let us both fall off this building." Still, I got no reaction. How rude.

So with my arms around him I slowly leaned out over the edge until we were both falling.

We didn't fall very fast and we gently fell to a grassy lawn below. The guy was calm and expressionless.

This wasn't going the way I had wanted it to. How could I go so wrong? Could this be my most boring lucid dream ever?

And I think the answer is "yes". Because I woke up shortly after that.
