lucid

Ok, so I'm pretty pissed at my last dream that I had, so much that I forced myself to wake up, but I want to write all of these down before I forgot and I need someone to help explaining how this could happen, please!!

Dream #1-Cherry Blossoms (Lucid)

I can barely remember how it started. I just remember being in this foreign country in Asia. There was a revolt of younger people on the streets, a protest. They were running away from something and I ran with them. In fact, I ran to the front and began leading them. Next thing I know, I'm running through these large wooden Japanese (?) gates and I'm alone.



I look around and I begin to notice the detail and beauty of where I am. It was breath taking! It looked similar to the picture above: pink cherry blossoms surrounding this lake. I was wearing some pretty, flowing white dress, too. I started to loose control of the dream because everything was blurring out, but I remembered from this site to focus on details and touch things. And it worked!! I focused on the floor I was walking on, marble, magenta. I crouched and touched the floor, smooth and cool. I looked around and everything was much more vivid and I was happy that I gained control of the dream again. So, I chose to summon a character, like I always do. I knew I had to choose quickly, so I ran through a list of names and I remembered that I told myself that next time I had a vivid dream, I would summon Jacob Black (from Twilight, yes. Do not judge me, you would too.)

I couldn't find him for a while. I thought he'd come running, but I turned around and found him crouching by this wall looking down at something. He looks up over at me and smiles and runs away. And I'm thinking, "No! Where are you going?!" He dives into the lake and he's swimming around and under the bridge I'm standing on. Finally, he stops teasing me and jumps out of the water. I remember he shook himself dry like a dog, lol. He picks me up and embraces me and we just smile at each other. He never spoke in the dream, which is unusual. Often times my characters will say something, but the sex scene clearly made up for that. So...on to the fucked up dream that turned into a nightmare.

***Any dream experts out there, I could really use some help with explaining this weird phenomenon or just knowing that something like this has happened before to someone else, would be comforting!!***

Dream #2-"Let's Experiment with Pain." (FA/Lucid/Nightmare)

I had a false awakening from my lucid dream. I woke up next to my boyfriend in bed and he's mumbling a little bit and wakes up too. He turns to me and says, "Were you having a sex dream or something? Your foot was twitching in your sleep." (Yeah, right? Awkward!!) So, of course, I lie and tell him that I wasn't dreaming about sex, but I look around at my surroundings and I realize... I'm still dreaming!!! So, I roll over to my boyfriend and look at him hard thinking, "I wonder if he knows that this is a dream?" So, I ask him. He says, "No, we're not. Go back to sleep." and I tell him, "No seriously! Watch, watch, watch! Watch me touch the mirror against the wall!" So, I reach my hand out and my arm and fingers stretch and distort to reach the mirror. My DC boyfriend pops up and goes, "Omg!! That is so cool!!" I said, "I know right!! Look at your fingers too! That's another thing I learned to do to check if you're dreaming! Count them!" And we each had 10 fingers on each hand.

So, we're doing all these cool RC's that I learned on this site, which honestly, I've never had to do RC's before. I've always just entered into lucidity via DILD by observing the detail and just knew I was dreaming. This was my very first time experimenting with RC's and you know what happened?!?!

My sweet, harmless Granny P walked into the room with this creepy ass smile on her face and big wide eyes like a doll. She was wearing this white, sleeveless night gown, with blood red lipstick, short shoulder-length hair, and SHE WAS HOLDING A KNIFE! You know what she said to me? "Oh! So you want to realize you're dreaming, huh? Well, let's experiment with pain." And she starts stabbing me in the arms and hands like a psychopath! And her face turned green at one point, her jaw disconnected to bite and chew on my fingers. None of it really hurt, it just felt prickly, like when you sit on your foot for too long and the feeling is slowing returning to it. I got SO MAD!!! My heart was racing because obviously this is a nightmare and I looked at her, while she's stabbing the crap out of me, and ask her, "Why does it have to be you?" The DC granny shrugs her shoulders and continues stabbing me in the face with her damn knife. I try to look over at Nnamdi to see what's going on with him, but all I see is darkness over there, like that part of the dream is completely wiped out. I was so mad that this happened that I yelled, "Fuck this! I'm waking up!!!"

And I did. I was PISSED! I'm still pissed that that happened. I'm like half-expecting my DC granny to pop around the corner with a knife in her hand, and I'm ready for it too, like, "Come at me, bitch!!" Btw, this is kinda what her face looked like in the dream:



For the record, I love my Granny P. She's the nicest lady you'd ever meet, which is why I don't understand why she of all people had to be the psychopath in my dream. It's 5:16 AM. I'm going back to bed. Maybe I'll have a continuation of that dream and kick some dream-maker's ass for messing with my LD's. Goodnight!

I'm not even sure what this was, to be honest.

But I did the usual WILD technique, and then I was suddenly in the dream world, except I was just in the other room playing on my 3DS and shiny Pokemon hunting.

I remember finding a shiny Pokemon but feeling super exhausted at the same time and falling asleep at the desk, only to slip back into consciousness.

I'm not even sure this classifies as a lucid dream because I wasn't even aware I was dreaming, but I still felt like I was in one.

I don't know.

#469 - DEILD - 4:56AM

I slightly wake up from some dream involving an intelligent humanoid-hippopotamus creature resembling something Patricia Piccinini would have created. I didn't even find it all that odd. It was like a pet.

I lucidly relax back into a dream where I am in some mixture of my job and a gym. I look around and marvel how vivid the dream is. There is no one around so I call out. My voice is loud and echoes a bit. No one comes and I decide to just explore. Unfortunately, I wake up.

I decide it's not time to wake up and visualize walking. In a few seconds I see that I am walking on sand. I reach down and grab a handful. I squeeze feeling the soft crunch and then relax letting it trickle away. This new dream happens so fast that I find myself not thinking I am really in a dream. I feel it's just heavy HI. I'm wrong, of course, but I just tell myself it will all come together as I go along and let the thought go.

Perhaps I relax my concentration a bit too much because now I have the idea stuck that I was trying to capture Sasquatch by stacking large logs across a wooded path. I suppose I was standing on a sandy beach because now I see the sand ending at a wooded hiking trail. I see I have already cut a log so I heft it on my shoulder and march ahead. I am looking for the spot that I want to stack logs but the trail has opened up too much and it's all sandy again. I feel myself struggle as I move uphill. I decide I am working too hard. Since this is a dream I can always take shortcuts. Suddenly I am at the top of the hill and see a good spot to stack the log. I decided my work is already done and now I see a wall of logs across the trail. The idea is to get Sasquatch to chase me and somehow crash into the logs, knocking it out. Whatever.

I look to my right and see a log cabin with smoke coming out of the chimney. I turn to go check it out, but some strange creature comes out of the doorway. It looks animal-like, but also resembles a garlic cluster with legs. I have a mix of first and third person view as the garlic thing runs at me and bowls me over. I get up and run but a second garlic thing comes out and cuts me off. Suddenly, two new creatures resembling a mix of Groot and an ostrich comes out to battle the garlic things. I decide this is just the distraction I need to get away. I turn to run, suddenly wake up.

I recall another super long non-lucid dream where I go have my wife's wedding ring cleaned. I talk to the jeweler a long time as he polishes a huge golden trophy. I don't understand his words and he calls me out on it. When I leave I have a white pickup that runs slow. A lot of pedestrians block my way out and I get lost in some impossible labyrinth of a parking garage. Then I am under a house spending a huge amount of time looking for a lost ring with confusing structures. When I find it I am at my ex wife's parents house. The ring glows when I put my finger in it. I decide its some sort of toy so I go find my girls to give it to them. I look into the bright purple light that consumes me in a white light. I wake up.

Paying attention to senses during the night. Poor/light sleep.

bedtime around midnight 00:00 - 00:30?

05:30
+ (f) sitting around a fire(?) with guys holding huge stone axes, the axe heads are several feet in each dimension, this is because stone is much more fragile than metal, metal tools can be much smaller

+ work

+ tree/path/cars/bribe/toaster

I'm standing on a path looking to a hillside fairly far away where bunch of guys have wrapped their arms around the trunk of a tree (various side branches) and are trying to pull it down. The tree breaks and falls to the ground on top of / around the men. I call out "you've broken the tree!" (I see this process repeat once?). I see that one of the pieces of the multi-trunked tree has splintered and landed on top of one of the guys. Another guy is near. He uses his strength (he'll have to be really strong! I think) to move the trunk off the guy underneath. He's not wearing a shirt. I sort of expect to see he's been pierced by a sharp piece of wood but he looks OK.

Walking on the dirt path on the way I used to walk home from the science museum. The path is much wider and with established tire tracks now. A dune-buggy like car zooms by me on the higher part of the path closer to the fence. I'm annoyed by this fast traffic. I look back and see a large bush is separating the two parts of the path. I think of placing a large, metallic pyramid structure about 1 meter high on the high path to block the way of cars. As I approach the fence at the end of the dirt path, a small, bronze car zips by me at high speed on the lower path. I gesture with my arms and call out "slow down!" as I reach the gate and turn to look the bronze car stops and a (blonde?) guy leans out his head and calls something which I can't hear, but presumably to complain about my complaint. I call out "I CAN'T HEAR YOU!".

Suddenly a small car runs right in to me. It hits me across both my upper legs. It bumps against me again. I'm mad and I pick up the tiny car in my arms and throw it a few meters down the hill. I see that there is a female driver (young, blonde?). I then realize what's happened and say "You hit me with your car!…..YOU HIT ME WITH YOUR CAR!" I think I'm going to call the cops and get her in a heap of trouble. I take out my cell phone and there is a big conical damaged area in it that I push with my fingers and it goes in and out above/below the main plane of the phone.

I'm walking in a room and there is a man there who is trying to bribe me (about the accident?). He asks me "are you a member of CRSS?". I say "I don't pay any attention to [city B] politics. I just want it to be a good place for people to live. The people who live here shouldn't be bothered." He hands me a small stack of cash. I start to count through it and I see $1, $5, $10, $20 bills, and also some paper advertisement fliers, which means there's less cash here than I thought. He says not to count it here.

Walking out, there's a woman(?) giving a class on a chess program (like ChessBase or Chess Position Trainer, but it has its own name), there are several young (high school?) male students there. The teacher is apologizing to the guys, saying "I know you wanted to get in one more game." I'm with my wife and I want to head up the final hill home [to childhood home], but the stairway leads through a toaster oven which is cooking an open-faced sandwich which is blocking the way out. I open the oven and wonder if they'll mind if I take out the sandwich myself. It's really bubbling from the heat. There is a thin layer of meat, and some bubbling brown sauce on top. I want to put in a sandwich for my wife, I see some onion rings under the stuff piled on the tray.

+ fly LD(#148)
I'm on my childhood home deck at night [location not acknowledged in dream], I'm jumping high into the air, a cat is on top of the railing and also jumps high. This may be a dream/RC doing this jump, before was not conclusive even though we hung in the air a split second. Jump again and the cat also jumps with me, higher this time, I do a nose-pinch in the air and get lucid. I turn to look down the hill and see the city lights far below me in clumps in the distance. I stretch out my arms and start flying towards the lights. I'm losing a bit of altitude and am coming up on some neighbor's deck furniture below me pretty close but I decide I'm going to clear it OK and I do. A lock of hair is hanging down obscuring the view from my right eye a bit and I shake my head to dislodge it. I keep flying towards the lights and decide that I'm going to do my best to maintain lucidity and keep the dream solid and stable for a long time. Then my wife moves in bed
and I wake up.

BTS

13:30
final waking

+ arriving with group in car on steep hill. Our destination is down the hill below the parking lot. The guys in the car don't want to park so far away. I drive in to the parking lot (circling it first?) and choose a spot that is still pretty high. We get out and then the people help me to empty pieces of a bathtub into the parking lot (?)

+ I'm in some sort of scientific lab. I'm talking with people about the discoveries that have been made. It is apparently some sort of electronic brain. I'm saying that there has been a breakthrough in nerve signal transmission. Also something about the high amount of power it takes to drive this device.

Then I'm standing a bit farther down the room. There's a sign/thing that we are required to read and memorize only when the train arrive and we must repeat this word/phrase/code/thing before the train leaves. My friend lifts up the flap covering the code and reads it ahead of time, he's beaten the system he thinks. It reads something like "NOOOOMOOO". Then the train comes, and I lift the flap, and I see that the code has changed. The joke is on us, now we must quickly memorize the new complex code and restate it in just a few moments. We're not going to make it.

Hey..
so i was like okay today after WBTB i will try to astral project (obe)
i sleept/ hit the sleep paralysis and somehow i i was suprised and woke up, then again 2-3 times it happened the same, i remember

Sleeping noon till 7 pm, 7:40 -11pm

First dream before 7 pm

I'm at ophelia's house. She is with her two kids, 5-7 year old boy and a girl. I point out beautifull fall colors on trees that are just below a slope of a small hill in the distance. I watch bicyclists going by on a bike path. I ask her if she ever wants to go bicycling and she shushes me, pointing in her son's direction. I understand that her ex doesn't allow kids to bicycle. I feel like many subjects are taboo and I'm affraid I will say something that's not allowed.

To change the subject, I ask the boy if he likes the flowers that are n the meadow that I see us on, even as we are still at their house.

Looks like Ophelia wants me to babysit again on saturday. She has opera tomorrow. She practices the ending act. Its her being a small girl doing a short tapdance, like Shirley Temple. She does is few times.

She is laying down on a sofa now and she looks like her avatar with short black hair. I say "I'll let you rest" and she says ok. I'm disappointed she let me go so easily.


Lucid before 11 pm.
I realize I can levitate few inches off the ground and travel like that. I know I can get up higher easily if I want to, but scared that maybe they will think I'm a witch. I think to myself, why don't I always travel like thise, flying few inches off the ground as if walking. It's so easy. I look at my hands and count my fingers. 1.2.3.4.5. Oh, ok, 5. Wait! The Thumb! 6!!! woo

I start going up, but change my mind, don't want to go through the attick of that scary house. I get out the window and start yelling I'm dreaming.

I'm flying by some beautiful gardens surroounded by whitewashed houses and white fences. Looks like a seaside community. I stop by some roses to smell them up close, when I get a whif of that beautiful rose aroma. I see the ocean in the distance and I say why not. I wouldn't mind having a lucid in the water or on the shore.

I'm flying over some small gazebo with a guy and his monkey thats dresses in people clothes. I wake up just before reaching the shore.

Tonight, at 23:00 hrs EST (11:00 pm), I had my first lucid dream!!

(I know it was 11 because I have a reality check app on my iphone and the first nighttime check reminder goes off at 11, and as you'll see below, I woke soon after the second check went off a half hour later)

The dream: I was walking with some dream-friends (people I don't really know in real life, just dream "extras" and we were outside of a small shopping mall in a parking lot when something (I know now it was the "ding!" sound of my reality check) made me look at the sky. Something seemed off, and I thought, "Am I dreaming?"

I suddenly realized that yes, I WAS DREAMING, and the scenery surged into focus around me. It was exhilarating but I managed to keep my cool, remembering that excitement can cause the dream to collapse. I very calmly concentrated and rubbed my hands together and the focus improved.

I took a moment to take in the scenery. I've been playing lots of Grand Theft Auto V lately, and the scenery was definitely influenced by the game: beyond the parking lot was a gently sloping hill covered with amber grass, and beyond that was a freeway and a city skyline, and the sky was a beautiful cloudless blue. It was a warm day, and it felt good.

I turned to my "dream friends" and noticed my wife was with them. I took her hand and we smiled at each other and I told my friends to wait for us. I decided to just relax and enjoy it, don't get crazy with it yet, and to just explore.

And so we spent a while wandering through this shopping mall, browsing in stores and just enjoying being in this amazing situation. I was astounded with how real it all seemed.

At one point we bumped into my mom who was there doing shopping and I told her I finally achieved lucidity. She was ecstatic and started yelling and congratulating me (she gets carried away in real life like this too) and I politely had to tell her to calm down or the dream would fall apart. She congratulated me anyway and as she walked away she called out "Golden Glow, son! Golden Glow!" (this is an inside joke between us referring to an awful orange soft drink made locally in Port Dover, Canada at a lakeside restaurant. At the time it seemed odd that she should say that, but it later had a kind of meaning)

The last store we wandered into was a video game store, and I remember browsing the titles before we left.

We stepped outside and the air suddenly got a very yellowish tint to it... a golden glow, and I realized the dream was starting to collapse. I rubbed my hands together some more and the glow went away.

We walked to our car and to our dream friends and I looked at the sky. It was still blue but I remember thinking "I wonder if I can change the sky's color?" I concentrated a little and the sky turned purple.

It was then that I saw a man in his boxer shorts standing at the edge of the parking lot. He was wearing a white unicorn mask and holding a hand lettered sign that read "dream". I thought, "Oh man, can't get any more obvious than that!" Hahahah!

Then the dream did start to collapse. The golden glow came in and distorted everything, and despite rubbing my hands together it wouldn't stay together.

I had a few seconds of being in both the dream world and the waking world at the same time, when my reality check "dinged!" again, and I plopped right back into my body.

I grabbed my phone and opened the voice memo app and recorded as much as I could remember.

It's so weird: it was an exhilarating experience, but like any dream parts of it are missing, and I almost feel like it didn't happen. But I KNOW it did, and that is an astounding feeling. In my two other posts here I've discussed my uphill battle against bad dream clarity and recall, so you can understand how good this made me feel.

I'm not sure when I'll have my next lucid dream, but I know it will happen. I cracked through the veil!

-A scene formed of a beach. On the cement like platform there was a blonde girl sitting with her dog that resembled my deceased pet dog max. A white tiger walked up to her on the beach wearing a dog mask and to the side of the tiger was jadegreen's dream self. The lady shrieked and than the dog began to guard the lady. Fighting the tiger off.

Than another scene bubbled forth and I was watching Jade's dream self walking into a bedroom with the white tiger. A narrator that seemed like a news reporter mentioned that now a days people kept tigers as pets. Than the scene shifted and I was now in my kitchen cleaning a sink that looked like it had a faucet of a lion or creature.

My mom came in looking for something in the kitchen drawer and mentioned something. Maybe how it was time to go to bed. Thats when I looked at the calendar and the month was March. I also noticed markings on it. When I was going to look at it more though it fell on the floor so I just left it there.

I than walked to my room but felt lonely so I decided to go downstairs. I was greeted by Max and walked to where my mom's room is but in the dream I thought it was my younger's brothers room. Max stood on his two feet and put his ear to the door barking.I asked him what was wrong than turned to see my brother in the room next door on his computer.

I pet max than decided to go back up stairs. As I was walking to my room I looked to the sliding mirror door and saw what looked like a barbie toy where you play with its hair. Behind it was a small shadow. I asked myself why my mom had put that there than ran downstairs to my older brother's room. Except it was my parents bedroom in the dream.

I felt like I was having a panic attack and asked my mom if I could stay with them for a bit. They let me but what was annoying was they were asking why I ended up big such a fearful child.





-I was going to drink water from a wine glass.

-My cousin that moved approached me when i was laying down and told me my younger brother's 3DS was dropped by mistake. I told him it didn't matter because he didn't really play it anyways. He could also use my older brother's red 3DS.

-I had a false awakening where my older brother and younger brother were present. My younger brother went to get a cup with me from the kitchen cabinet than I noticed my older brother laughing. I turned to him and ask him "Whats so funny? What did you whisper something to me in my ear when i was asleep so that it would happen in my dream?" My younger brother than sighed and told me to not pay attention to him.


I was surrounded by lots of men in men kimonos and they were cheering because Dawn had mentioned that It was a men's party. I made a shout out trying to include myself in the party but than all of the guys began disappearing till it was only me and Dawn left. I than followed him and jumped out a window to where he was. I landed on a dome like structure and noticed a creature crawling on the ground.


A girl that reminded me of Manei appeared and was controlling the path of the yellow worm like creature with a staff. I asked her if the creature bites and she said no so i hopped onto the ground than ran for it. I ended up being in a building where Dawn was flaunting how good he looked to movie directors and that he was going to release an inside scoop of his new show and that he was going to answer the secret question if he was gay or not.

Next thing i remember is sitting down eating ribs and salad. My younger brother was next to me and i kept flinging food to him by mistake. As I was eating my older sister mentioned how Dawn grew sad,skinny and lost weight cause the fame got to his head. Than she mentioned how a person should stick with the old main characters and stop introducing new characters. There were images of characters appearing as she was telling me this.

One of the images had a creature that looked like a small white blob with eyes. It could change colors from blue to red depending on how it feels and the temperature. The creature turned blue because it felt bad and wanted to be on the side of the main character again.

-I was inside my house but felt like leaving. I didnt like how a certain dc made me feel. The doors opened slowly because i doubted i would be able to geet out before it touched me.

-I was with anime male characters with swords inside a huge castle like dojo. They asked me if i wanted to join so i said yes. But when they were battling the monster they told me to stand back than a huge wind blew me so i ran behind a wall. Also noticing how my form was changing.


-I had a false awakening where I got out the bathroom and it was pitch black. I looked at the sliding mirror door and saw I was hideous.(There was a dim glow that allowed me to see the reflection)I looked fat than to my regular size. Someone opened the other door behind me and I shouted for them not to come in. The door closed after a bit of waiting than I ran to the bathroom where I sat in the tub moping that someone saw me naked. Hoping it wasnt my dad.


-Last thing i recall happening in my dream was playing a zelda windwaker like game. And observing a river that was small and muddy. There were also alligators in it
I flew past them and one chased me so i picked up a wooden tree branch and used it to push the alligator away. There was also this orange goop like substance in the river.

It was a long dream involving a visit to some relatives. I was semi-lucid because i noticed some things that were off, and then i had a false awakening.

I was in my bed, sunlight coming from my window, but my bedroom was different, stuff being out of place and i could see my father in the kitchen. I looked at my hand and noticed 6 fingers! "This is a dream!" so i try to calm down and concentrate on my hand. Got rid of the sixth finger, then i made my index grow in length and to the other side of the room!. Surprised how far my finger went i look back at my hand and it became a girl's, with short fingers, a ring and a wristband. I get them to grow longer and then i get an idea: let's try to grow breasts! So i look under my shirt and concentrate on my chest but i think the excitement was too much at this point (i forgot to stabilize yet again ) and i lost it.

#468 - DILD - 1:52AM

****DRY SPELL OVER!*****

Thanks to some kind words from my dream buddy I was able to get some lucidity last night. It's nothing to get super excited about, but it's good to be back in action.

Thanks B!

I am hovering over a really strange looking tepee with some people I think of as close friends. The tepee seems to me made from various bits of material and I have contributed a large section at top. Someone has attached a zipper at top and there is some excitement about how well it fits.

I am on the ground. I look around and become introspective. My younger daughter are standing around a large camp fire near the base of the giant tepee. She is talking to me but I don't understand her words. Suddenly, I just know that I am lucid. I tell her this might be a dream. I say "might" because a part of me is hoping she is really in the dream with me and I want to guide her into lucidity. I wonder if two minds could really be in one dream. I give her some time to think this over. She seems confused at first and looks around deep in thought. I float up off the ground a bit and say, "Look, Dalynn. I am flying."
She seems to understand for just a moment, but then it slips away and she says, "Wow how are you doing that?" Before I can reply she start jumping around making silly sounds.
I don't say anything. I just try to show off how I can fly, but I can only move around my making swimming motions. I hate it at first and I become very frustrated how goofy I must look. The dream breaks apart and I wake up.

I'll be brief in parts with this next dream because It was super long and I missed lucidity anyway.

I am a criminal in the depression era with some woman. It was almost a Bonny and Clyde senario, but we were con artist not back robbers. There we some long thing about a pond shop scheme. During a bank run we tricked people to turn in jewels and hand guns and we got a lot of money from it.
At one point we are driving down a street that looks more modern. I ask the woman what year it is. She dismisses me but I really think it looks like the late 80's. I tell her the cars just look more sporty, but she says nothing. I see an airplane in the sky. It is unmarked and very strangle looking with red glowing lines. It was very sci-fi. I don't think it's possible, but out of habit I say, "This might be a dream." I do a nose plug, but somehow I think it failed. I look around and the dream is very clear. I feel my eye are wide open. I know that dreams tend to be more blurry than this. With that thought the dream blurs a great deal and fades out to a new scene.
I am at some counter in a store with the woman. Another woman walks in with a folding fan and lays it on a counter. There is a dark skinned boy printed on it. I say something about the Muslim boy and the boy starts talking to me. He goes on about having sex with that "crotchety old woman".
I assume he's talking about the woman I am with. I say, "Well my cock gets hard and she's there to help it. What else would I do?"
The boy says, "Oh common you can do better than that."
Then I hear a narrator say, "And those acid trips flashback happened for the next 14 years."
There is laughter and I laugh along. I now feel as though I have been watching something on TV. I say, "That's funny, but I wish I could remember the set up for that joke."
The scene fade away with the audience laughter.

I am now in some basement looking at an attractive young woman tied up to some pipes along the wall. As the view passes close I notice she is severely retarded. She starts singing about being a retarded give tied up in the basement. I wake up.

I recall multiple dreams from tonight. I got up immediately to record them before I forgot.

Dream #1: Pirate Ship (Vivid, not lucid)

I was walking up to this lake/swamp area. Pennsatucky/Doggett (from Orange is the New Black) was with me. We found an old abandoned, half-sunk pirate ship in this lake area, so we decide to explore it. I remember how disgusted we were treading the swampy water to climb onto the ship. There was moss and seaweed and all kinds of "growth" on the rotten wood of the ship. There wasn't anything of interest on the ship, until Pennsatucky opened this latch to a hidden box and found a bomb. Now, the dream got into some weird time paradox at this point, where another Pennsatucky jumped out of this hidden box and activated the bomb. Me and the first Pennsatucky took off running so we wouldn't get blown to bits. We're running back and it turns out that the swampy lake was in my backyard. We run inside my house, but the interior turned into my Granny B's house. We hide behind tables and furniture because we only had 10 seconds (and there was an actual 10 second, real life count down in the dream) before the bomb went off. Eventually it exploded and took down the second Pennsatucky with it. Some weird other stuff occurred afterwards. Once the bomb went off, the dream began to loose its vividness. I just remember my family hosting a party for a bunch of 17th-18th century Asian (Japanese?) royalty. I was telling them about the bomb explosion. I think if I'd kept sleeping and retained the vividness, it would have become lucid.

Dream# 2: Baseball team (Memorable)

This dream was mostly hazy until the very end. All I remember is that my boyfriend had joined a pro baseball team (looked like Red Sox; I recall talking to a girlfriend about the Red Sox earlier today), and he let me travel with him and the team from baseball practice to one of the games. He was kinda embarrassed of me. He kept his distance so he could "bro out." I remember that the coach didn't like me because in my dream, I was openly bisexual and that went against his beliefs. He didn't feel comfortable with me travelling with them, so I had my father drive me to the baseball game. When I got in my dad's truck (because suddenly we were just outside my parents' house heading to the baseball game) my dad was backing out and heading down our neighborhood street, but he was on his phone texting. He wasn't paying attention to the road and almost had a head on collision with an 18-wheeler. My heart was drumming so fast. I screamed at my dad to pay attention to the road and he swerved to avoid hitting the 18-wheeler. I told him that next time, I was going to yank the wheel and he lectured me that i was overreacting. I woke up.

Dream# 3: Game Night (Vivid; lucid)

So, about a week ago, I posted an entry in my DJ about having a dream about Christian Grey, that I'd woken up and gone back to sleep and continued the dream. That dream took place in my Granny P's house, where I was preparing a game night for friends, while giving Christian the cold shoulder because we were mad at each other.

So, this dream I just had was interesting because it was also a continuation, but with a twist; it eventually led to a successful WILD. The dream took place in my Granny P's house. We were having a game night (haha, and the baseball team from the previous dream were there!). I remember looking around at the people there. The dream was incredibly detailed, which is usually how I enter lucid dream via DILD, by observing the room and noticing the detail, but this time I didn't just yet. I was just disappointed that none of the guys in there were cute. So, we continue playing some ice-breaker game to get to know everyone at the party and as we're scrambling around looking for our respective partners, I recall thinking, "Hey, this looks like the dream from when I was ignoring Christian at game night." As I was thinking this, I could feel myself waking up, so I thought again, "Well, maybe I can just try to recall this dream, turn it lucid and summon Christian in to the dream." lol, like I actually had a game plan to enter into another lucid dream as I was dreaming.

So, I was laying on the couch in the dark fully awake, just didn't open my eyes because I was trying to focus. I didn't move, I just waited for my body to fall back to sleep, focusing on the game night dream. Eventually I did fall back into a dream, which was incredibly weird because I've never gone from complete consciousness to seeing my mind create a dream. It was so weird! I just remember seeing nothingness and then a light that molded into a window. I was inside a house looking out through a kitchen window into a backyard where I saw two young boys playing. They were playing with a ball, throwing it at each other and into a small basketball hoop (like one make from Little Tykes). The only weird thing about this dream is that the motion was off. My motion was fine; it was fluid and free, but the boys' movement was...odd. It was like flipping through a hand-made picture book, creating motion from static images. It was also odd because it was incredibly short-lived and I had no control over that dream.

Dream #4: False Awakening (Lucid, but I don't know how to explain the end)

Haha!! Ok, so this is also incredibly hilarious. Just now, I had to google how to explain what I was trying to convey in my lucid dream, about creating motion from static images. Well, right after waking up from my lucid dream, I had a FA. I thought I had gotten off the couch to come to this website to type up the dream and I remember in this FA that I had to google how to explain this weird motion for the lucid dream. Ha! Prophesying much? Anyway, in the FA, I go back to the couch and lay down and I kinda wake up, but I'm still...not fully awake. I think I'm still in the dream, just realizing that I'm in the dream (????). I ask myself, "Did I really get off the couch just now, or was that a dream?" I'm moving my hands around, looking around the living room, but my eyes are closed, so it's dark and I see nothing, I just know what my living room looks like, so I think I'm looking at my living room. It's weird. I enter into full consciousness in my dream and I check my arms. I can't move them because I'm asleep but I feel my dream arms waving about. It's weird, I honestly don't know how to explain it. It's like I'm half dreaming. I can feel my arms moving in my dream, but I know they're not really moving as I lay there sleeping on the couch. So I just accept the fact that I'm still trying to sleep and I lay there in my dream (and real life) until I enter another dream.

Dream #5: Cat on Meds

So, I have another FA. It's daylight now and I'm laying on my couch. There is a cat at my feet, sleeping on the couch with me. (Last night, I actually fell asleep with my neighbor's small dog at my feet; I'm dog sitting ATM). So, in this dream, this cat that I apparently own has to take her meds in the morning. I reach over to the coffee table where her medicine is and I'm reading the instructions. I feed her two pills and she chews it up and spits it out and then scoops it up with her nose and carries it to her food bowl to eat later. I remember lecturing her for making a mess on the couch and I woke up.

Now I'm here typing this up. At least I hope I am because I've had enough FA's for the night. o_0

So i woke up, always wanna WBTB lol after i wake up, so i put some calming melodies/music to let me fall asleep, had 2-3 times Sleep paralysis and couldnt get through so i woke up again and again, till the time where i was like ok now i can do it and get in SP anytime i want and then enter the dream scene, i did ... so i was near some beach park, no idea was trying to have fun around u know, catch some ladies etc, but wasnt easy lol so i woke up 1-2 times and re-entered my last dream was a dream with my bro surrounded by like 10 ppl came and ask me to give em my euro coins u know 2 euro / 1 euro etc and i told them ok ill drop on the air and u choose [words or numbers] u win if you guess right, then i run lol and there was that guy from Youtube Vitalyzdtv trynna catch me and i jumped above a Fence (flied) did a flip and entered into a big game soccer field with that red sand while he wanna catch me and he got stuck on a fence and i asked, u believe in god? he said yes, u believe in jesus and prophet mohammed? he told yes i believe peace be upon them
then i trolled him by saying.. "haha you in a dream and u got pranked i am the camera and laughed and i flied back and decide to wake up lol.

dats it

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.
