    1. LD: Spraying Sparks from my fingers (on Jim)

      by , 03-20-2015 at 02:57 PM
      Another LD last night. So thankful to be past my dry spell. One thing I found interesting about this LD is that I stayed in the story. Usually once I become lucid I go off and start a new adventure. But this one has me kind of sucked in. And that made it a little fun and different.

      Dream:

      I was visiting my friend Jim. We had been out of touch for a while, so it felt nice to get to see him, and I was able to see his house for the first time. He was showing me around. It was a fairly small house. But then at one point I wandered away from him and suddenly found this spiral staircase that went up to a second story that was quite nice. What made it even more exciting was that there was a second level backyard as well. I climbed up and looked out into the yard. It had a ground cover of dichondra and was beautiful. Jim saw me looking and smiled like I had discovered one of his secrets.

      Then we were in his lower backyard which was larger. He had planted several varieties of pumpkins. The vines all had many large pumpkins growing on them. Some were the traditional orange color. But there were others that were yellow and a beautiful dark purple color, which I had never seen before. As is typical, I pulled out my camera to take a few pictures. At one point I went back to check on the pictures I had taken. I can't remember exactly what is was, but there was a problem with the camera. At that moment I became instantly lucid.

      I started flying straight up into the sky. I went slowly and could see down below. I saw Jim watching me leave. Part of me felt bad. I knew this was a dream, but I still felt connected to him, like he was real. And I felt he was sad watching me just go. But I knew I had to go on to do other things, so I tried to not notice him anymore.

      I suddenly was having a little trouble with my flying. I felt all awkward. Then, for a moment, I saw myself in a 3rd person view. I was trying to fly "swimming style", but my stokes were uneven. I wasn't making much distance. So I flew back down to an alley next to Jim's yard. I tired to think of a Task of the Month that I hadn't done yet. I kicked myself a little for not thinking about them before I went to bed. My mind was blank. Then a thought occurred to me. I think one of the Tasks had to do with taking an object and destroying it with fire. I looked around for something to pick up. There were some pieces of metal laying around. I was about to pick one up, when I suddenly saw Jim come running toward me. I knew I shouldn't have left him behind. But at least he found me. I told him I was trying to do a task and destroy something.

      I then said, "Watch this." I held out my hand and focused on it a bit. Suddenly I saw a small glowing white spark form at the end of my first finger. I concentrated a little harder and soon a shower of white sparks sprayed out from my finger. I showed off a bit by moving my finger all around in the air, like a little kid holding a sparkler on the 4th of July.

      Then I grinned at him and sprayed the sparks on his cheek. I asked, "What do you think?". He grinned back but said, "Oww". I said, "No, that couldn't hurt." Then I said, "Check this out."

      And I held out my hand so he could see it better. My whole hand was glowing a hot red, and around each fingernail there was a hot white glow. I felt a little heat, but nothing painful. At this point I concentrated and sparks flew out of each finger. I spun around spraying sparks everywhere.

      Then suddenly there was a transition and we were back inside his house. I wanted to ask him a few questions about his life. Part of me thought, "Don't be silly. This is a dream. His answers will be your answers." But at the same time another part of me thought, "Yeah this is a dream--I will have much better insight."

      So I sat down on the couch with him and asked what had happened with him and his wife. I knew they were no longer together, but I hadn't heard what happened. He told me that it had been really good at first, but that he had done something that he had regretted and lost her because of it. I then asked him what his plans for the future were. He then smiled at me and said, "First I'm going to do this. " And he leaned in and started kissing me. He then pulled back and asked it that was alright. I smiled and said, "No." But then I leaned in and kissed him back. Then I said, "Yes". And we continued kissing until I woke up.

    2. Quad WBTB: Flying and Dream Control, Asking 'Why', and Manei does weird stuff. (LD #184,185,186)

      by , 03-20-2015 at 01:38 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I found myself semi-lucid around my own house. I can remember flying around. I was fighting this fat DC who looked like Gluttony from Fullmetal Alchemist. I remember I was trying to mimic alchemy and convert the atoms in the ground into weapons, blades and rock pillars that would attack him.

      At one point, I made a giant cannonball and covered it in spikes. This seemed to kill him. I think he vanished, and I realized that I was fighting. Then my alchemy powers stopped working but I was still able to fly around. I thought about flying to space, I saw the moon in the daytime sky and thought about going there. I remember thinking about how there was an old shared dreaming group who had a building there. I thought that I was supposed to be meeting with her (Dawneye11) in the shared dream there.

      Just then the moon exploded. Bits of the moon flew outward, but the core of the moon remained, and became a black hole. Then, a gravity wave came out, first hitting the pieces of the moon and pulling them back in. It then hit the earth.

      It felt like a really strong wind was pulling me toward the moon black hole. Houses and trees were pulled up and sucked in. I thought that I should try to escape the black hole. If I can't NBD, it's a lucid dream, and I'll see where it takes me.

      I started flying away, but I wasn't going nearly fast enough and I was getting sucked in. I tried to go faster and managed to stop myself relative to the black hole. at one moment, however, I must have twitched my arm too fast because I woke up and moved my arm IWL.


      -WBTB-

      I was in my old high school with Manei. However, I was for some reason a ghost. (You know how for Halloween there is always that one person who goes as a bed-sheet ghost. Well, I was that ghost, but I wasn't a costume, I was just a bed-sheet.)

      I remember at one point (though not very clearly) I was able to phase through walls. Manei was very impressed.

      At some point, my ghostly bedhseet was replaced with a Victorian dress.


      At the end of the dream there was this big wall of questions. It was something that my high school was doing in the dream. I remember reading one of the questions that somebody else had posted.

      "Why do dentists write on our teeth with a dark blue crayon? Wouldn't dark green be on a better wavelength?

      While I'm at it, how many dark blue crayons do they take away from small children who need them, after all it has been scientifically proven that little kids like the dark blue crayons?"

      I looked through most of the other questions on the wall. Most of them were long and complex like that one, but I didn't bother to read all of them.

      Manei said that she wanted to put a question on the wall. There was a bin of cards. She used some kind of power on it and it began rapidly cycling through a large number of words and phrases until it landed on one single word.

      'why'

      She posted that up in the middle of the wall.

      "Why is a beautiful word because you can always ask 'why' something is the way it is. Sometimes you will arrive at an answer, and others you will not. But you can always keep asking questions. Why does this school exist? Why do I exist?"

      "Why does this dream carry on even though the core message has already been conveyed?"

      "Exactly."


      I went back into semi-lucidity and we sat down in the back of the class that was sitting in the gym. One of the teachers was giving a presentation, but I paid no mind to what he/she was saying. I decided that this would be an opportunity to try blobularwindmils dare of drawing something and making it come to life. But somehow I remembered the dare wrong and thought that I was to draw something that was already alive.

      I was looking at Manei trying to figure out how to start drawing her face. She looked over at me and gave me this big goofy smile. I told her to hold that pose for a moment. I lost the dream and woke up.


      -WBTB-

      Some weird nonlucid bits. I was a member of this tribe who live in a wasteland. I was looking out over our village that we were building. The dream was strangely very clear here.

      I remember we were living in a sand gully. There were these huge gray mushroom structures all around. They were miles tall and clouds wrapped around their bases. It was a strange, alien world. I was considering starting a farm/garden to grow food for our people and had found a nice area of land next to the village.

      Just then, like magic, the leader of our villiage approached me and asked me to do just that, start a farm and grow food for everyone. I told him I would get right on it.

      ...

      The dream somehow gave way to a dream about this Star Wars game where you would create a team of Jedi with different skills and weaknesses and they would battle one another or other opponents.

      In the game they were chasing this big cyborg guy through this space station.

      ...


      I found myself fully lucid once more in the living room at my aunt and uncle's house. Manei was there in one of the chairs. She said something to me that I couldn't make out, like she was mumbling or something. I kept moving closer and ask her to repeat herself.

      By the fourth or fifth time, I was practically leaning in her face. She had her headband on. Also, for some reason her hair was really shiny. Overall the experience of seeing her was vivd. (Much more than it had been in the last dream.) She just looked like a completely real person.

      "I want to hear you call me 'Kitten'"

      *tries not to laugh* "Okay, whatever you say, Kitten..."

      "And your nickname can be Jaylen!"

      "Why 'Jaylen'?"

      "I don't hear you coming up with a better one."

      "Why not 'Jade', like my Dreamviews profile name?"

      *giggles* "Okay."

      She then decided to give me a hug. I hugged her back and the dream blurred out and I woke up.


      -WBTB-

    3. My Bee Lariat in La Crosse (arm and hand mobility)

      by , 03-20-2015 at 09:20 AM
      1 minute 40 second read.

      Friday morning, 20 March 2015.

      My Bee Lariat in La Crosse (arm and hand mobility)

      Dream # 17,623-03.



      Introductory knowledge:

      Statue precursor: Augustus Ceaser. Statue precursors have occurred in all sleep cycles for over 50 years and correspond with my status of REM atonia (paralysis while sleeping throughout every dream each sleep cycle in healthy people). They do not typically remain in my dream’s narrative after they present but sometimes define the type of mobility that occurs. For example, the Augustus Ceaser statue’s position implies defining an invisible lariat as in my dream’s outcome. A person might also misperceive it as a man with a bedsheet wrapped around his waist, confirming an additional lucidness factor of being undressed while sleeping.

      The lucidness factors include vestibular-motor phasing with practicing hand and arm mobility and recognition of imagination while undressed in sleep. Spinning or attempting to spin something is a natural dynamic of vestibular-motor phasing. These attributes are neither “non-lucid” dreaming nor “lucid dreaming,” both misnomers.

      Dream narrative:

      I am in the Loomis Street house’s backyard, where Marilyn is also present at one point. The setting’s essence implies an hour before sunrise.

      The backyard is full of plants of minimal height. They are yellow carnations or marigolds. I am eventually aware of a swarm of bees attracted to them. At first, I consider they might sting Marilyn and me, but my concern becomes minimal.

      I believe I can control air currents. I raise my right arm and hold up my index finger (pointing upward), rotating it in a counterclockwise circular pattern as if defining an invisible lariat. The bees gather into a rotating torus above me, turning counterclockwise. Any bee still on a flower is forced into this pattern.

      I contemplate how bees that produce honey benefit people, so I allow some bees to navigate individual air currents to gather nectar. (This standpoint may not have been the case if the flowers had not been yellow.)

      Virtual amnesia results in my dream self not recalling that I have not lived in America since February 1994 or that Marilyn died in 2014.

      Failure to think and contrived convenience for vestibular-motor phasing: My dream self does not rationalize that we could go into the house to avoid the bees.

      Compartmentalized lucidness factors, virtual amnesia, and the failure to feasibly think are all caused by responding to dream state dynamics as a result of REM sleep, revealing there is no such thing as “dream interpretation” when correctly recognizing and understanding causality.

    4. Flying Around and Hearing Interesting Stuff in ‘The Void’ - Mar 4, 2015

      by , 03-20-2015 at 12:08 AM
      I became spontaneously lucid in this dream for no particular reason. My mom was standing in front of the backdoor at my childhood home. It was early morning, and the sun was just starting to come up. Dear mom was very nicely dressed, and I thought she was maybe getting ready to go to church. I told mom, “I’m lucid! Let’s fly!” She shook her head no. I said, “Watch me, I’ll show you how.” I then flew through the living room, around the staircase, and I returned to the backdoor, landing effortlessly in front of her. She wasn’t at all interested, and then she walked into the living room, sat down at the couch, and she started to read her Bible. I said, “Mom, how can you always be reading your Bible? You must know it inside and out by now?” She gave me a look of desperation, and then she laid down on the couch and went to sleep.

      Feeling determined to get my mom flying; I began to shake her shoulder. She came to, but she was now my sister. I said, “Sister, let’s fly!” My sister excitedly said, “Sure, okay!” I grabbed onto both of her hands to fly, with a plan to float upwards, but then the furniture moved towards us and it was now too crowded to fly. I said, “Let’s go over by the stairs and try there,” and my sister happily skipped along behind me (My sister is such a happy girl), but then the dream faded, and I was back in ‘the void’.

      I was consciously awake with my body asleep. I couldn’t see anything, but I could hear lots of activity going on around me. The voices echoed, and it sounded like I was standing in a crowded airport. There was a woman announcing messages over the speakers, but I couldn’t make out what she was saying (typical airport). It felt like I was floating around in my bed, and then a woman right beside me said, “Which of these people are going to meet with the three creators?” Then all noise instantly stopped, and I heard somebody walk out of my bedroom, slam the door, and stomp down the hallway. I immediately opened my eyes, and nobody was there. It was night time, and all was quiet. I was then lying in bed feeling really pumped and excited about this dream. Very cool stuff!

    5. Is it real or a dream?

      by , 03-19-2015 at 11:48 AM
      This is something that i really want to share. Something very personal and breath taking. Well at least for me....


      Today is exactly 4 years since my mother passed away. When i was 17 i have been through so many horrible things, as i was living only with my mother and she was the only person that i trusted.

      When she passed away i was seing dreams, they were really vivid lucid dreams that stayed in my subconscious mind till this moment. It was the only way i could still contact her. I was aware that im dreaming and i realised in my dreams that she is gone so i was trying to ask her all the questions like why? how do you feel? and she replied that she doesnt feel the pain nomore, I was also asking questions like is there any world that we don't know about? tell me if theres really something like god? she replied that there is a place, where you don't feel any pain, everything is calm and beautiful, but she didnt see any god or something... I was asking her if she can take me with her but she said that its not the time yet and that i need to live...

      I was dreaming her all following year almost every day and i was saying how much i love her, say things that i didn't said when she was alive try to hug her and feel her.

      Appreciate everything you have now, because you never know when will be the last time you see someone.
      Thanks for reading,

      R.I.P to my only love in the whole world.
    6. Cuban Vacation - Mar 5 to Mar 12, 2015

      by , 03-19-2015 at 03:13 AM
      I had several lucid dreams while on vacation in Cuba. Here’s what happened:

      Mar 5, In this dream I was at my parent’s house moving some chairs from the dining room to the kitchen in preparation for supper. When I picked up a chair I noticed that the left and right sides of the seat back did not match. The right side was squared off at the top, whereas the left side was rounded. I said to my wife, “Honey, I know that I’m dreaming because the seat backs are not symmetrical!” The dream started to fade, so in an effort to stabilize, I began to swirl, but no luck.

      Mar 5, In this dream I was in a dimly lit large machine shop. I became lucid for no reason whatsoever, just as a man ran past me. His skin was glowing white with a slight iridescence. He ran up to a locker and opened it, and a flood of light poured out illuminated him brightly. I ran around the lockers to the other side and I tried to levitate him, but he didn’t budge. Then I walked up to him and pushed on his shoulders with both my hands. I wanted to see how strong he was. He put his hands on my shoulders and pushed back, but I easily slid him across the floor. I said, “I’m stronger than you.”, and he replied, “Don’t push me.” He was less than impressed (I was misbehaving again).

      Mar 6, In this dream I was walking down the street in my home town. Suddenly, packages of butt wipes started to appear in people’s hands, and a package also appeared in my hand. I instantly became lucid - Dream Induced Lucid Dream (DILD). All of us walked into a community center with a stage at the back. I decided to have some fun with this lucid dream, so I walked up on stage and raised my package of butt wipes up into the air! Everybody stopped what they were doing and watched. I said, “Butt wipes! These things are amazing! When your butt needs a wipe, what do you reach for? Butt wipes! When you’re out on a date, and things are getting awkward, what do you use? Butt wipes!” People started to laugh, and then I stepped off the stage. My dream guide walked up to me and said, “Ohhh, that was good! Everything turned out okay.” I replied, “Yeah, you have to have fun sometimes when lucid.” We walked out the building together, and then I woke.

      Mar 7, In this dream I became lucid because the man beside me had glowing red eyes (DILD). I asked to him to help me find my daughter, and in return I would give him my truck. I reached into my pocket, pulled out the keys and gave them to him, and I said, “The truck’s outside, it’s yours!” He graciously took the keys and left. I then woke into a false awakening (still lucid). I was holding my daughter in my arms, as my wife was talking to her. I told my daughter I loved her, and then I woke.

      Mar 8, In this dream I was holding a wood carved jewellery box (Cuban made). We had actually been looking at these the day before in Havana. My dear mother in-law (passed Y2001) came up to me and said, “Ooh, what do you have there?” Boom, lucid again! She was very interested in the jewellery box, and she had a huge grin on her face. My wife was standing beside me, and I asked her, “Can you see your mom standing there?” My mother in-law instantly replied, “Of course she can see me!” I then woke.

      Mar 9, In this dream I was coaching soccer. The field was covered in water, so I told the boys to swim to the far end of the field and touch the white line. The assistant coach became upset with my drill because the boys were supposed to be playing soccer, not swimming. I thought about what he said, and then I became lucid (DILD). I remembered my dream intent to meet up with my daughter, so I started to call her name. The water vanished from the field, and then I slipped into another dream where I was driving a Suburban down the main street of my home town. I lost lucidity. I saw my daughter walking down the road towards me holding a fishing rod. There was at least 10 fish dangling from the pickerel rig. I pulled over and asked my daughter where she caught them, and she replied, “Down the street at her friend’s house. We should go there!” I then woke.

      Mar 10, Wake Back to Bed (WBTB) lucid dream. I entered this dream in a fully lucid state using tactile visualization during meditation. I was standing in a bungalow, and my son was sitting at the dining room table. He said, “Dad, have you seen the backyard yet?”, and I replied, “Not yet, but I’ll take a look!” I walked out backdoor and onto a concrete deck. The entire backyard was a gigantic fish pound, and it was surrounded by forest! Fish were jumping and sending small ripples across the mirrored, pond surface. I called for my daughter to come, and I instantly heard her giggling and talking to my son inside the bungalow. She then came out the backdoor and faced me with a huge smile and I said, “I’m lucid!”, and she replied, “Great dad, you finally got it!” My son then came outside and joined us. I gave my daughter a huge hug and told her I loved her. I then asked the kids how they were enjoying the Cuban vacation. My son looked totally confused and didn’t know what I was talking about, but my daughter knew. She said, “I’ve enjoyed it, but I’m getting really frustrated because nobody has given me a sip of their drink. I keep tapping people on the shoulder when they’re ordering drinks, but nobody feels it.” The dream quickly faded and I woke. The following day we ordered my daughter a Pina Colada for lunch (her favorite drink)! How could we forget?

    7. Lucid Dreaming School 4 - Basic Control

      by , 03-19-2015 at 02:54 AM
      Color Code: Nonlucid, Lucid, Partially lucid, Waking life notes

      Dream Lesson 3: Overcome sexual distraction

      March 18, 2015

      I wake up but don't move. I feel tingling and then vaguely feel like I have gotten up and started walking. I can't see anything. I say/think "I'm a ghost." I gain my vision and the dream becomes more solid, and I remember my ongoing goal.
      I approach a refrigerator and knock on the door saying "I would like my next lesson, please." I say something about it being for control.
      I pick up a bagel with both hands and let go, trying to make it float, but it drops to the floor. Rather than bother picking up the same object, I grab a jar of jam from the fridge. I place it on top of the fridge (which is either very short or I am floating) then make it float by keeping my hands a few inches out on either side of it.
      I believe I remember a post on DreamViews in which someone says that dream control needs to be based on things we are familiar with. I say to myself "I know what it's like to lift, but not what it's like to let go and not drop it." (Meaning, my dream can easily use my memory of lifting objects in waking life and apply it to making dream objects float, but has no obvious memory to prevent dream objects from falling when let go.) But, I say, "I know I can do it."

      I practice a few more times making the jar float, and having fun doing it. I am now able to drop it and make it stop falling after a second.
      I talk to the dream and the school I believe I am attending and ask what's next or if I should continue the lesson.
      Now I am in a giant version of the garage in my childhood home. Watermelons start flying at me. I hit and kick them and make them bounce off each other. I grab one and try to take a bite of it.
      I have a giant metal wrench and I'm hitting some metal things (?). I see a giant person and ask if he wants to fight, but he seems to ignore me. I hit a stack of red hot cogs, or metal discs and they go flying.

      I lose lucidity. Someone is talking about dictators and is going to cut my fingers off with a knife.

    8. The Railway House DA + OST + DILD

      by , 03-18-2015 at 09:25 PM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I was rushing through a couple of people to aboard a train. When I manage to get on my baggage broke loose. I started picking up my stuff as I hear the trains annoucement said "Go to your right side of the train if you wish to be transported to the warmest places in the area" "Choose the left side of the train if you desire the coldest area's " I didn't think this through I thought, I didn't knew train rides could get this complicated.

      Many people were choosing sides to go to, their proper clothing suggested that they were aware of this fact before arriving to the train station. I decided to choose the left side since I had a lot of clothes in the bag I was carrying. I continue to walk as my suspicion began to grow, noticing how orthodox the train really was. The light blue carpets and the stairs to the side that went up made me think this was a moving house.

      I saw one seat kind of was open but the woman had her purse place to the next seat. She gave me a glare that told me she didn't want me near her. I continue going up the train and open the door to the next section. I check if there was anymore seats available and soon notice a little girl sitting near the window. There was two seats that were empty, I decided to sit down in one of them. She ask me couldn't I have sat somewhere else? I told her this wont last too long.

      Around this point I became lucid and notice the sunset through the window. Around on the train house people became more active in talking, strangely at a similar time. The little girl said she must be dreaming since the scene outsode appear a bit abnormal. I said you and me both but I suddenly began to lose my train of thought. This makes me lose lucidity. Lucidity Time: 6 seconds.

      When i lucid dream, i see the same city all the time. Same place. I can do whatever i want there. After few years experiance of the same place now i know where are all the parks, markets, shops are and which bus i should take to go somewhere. Thats really weird,i see same people,same gangs, where the poor ones live, where to hide if someone is chasing me and where is unsafe to go. The roads, forests are the same. Now it's been a while since i lucid dream being there, that's kinda sad
    10. Strong Smell/Bakery/Death Game/Which Class?

      by , 03-18-2015 at 06:32 PM
      Strong Smell

      I was inside my bedroom covered in long white strips of paper with illustrations on them. I wanted to pretend i was in trouble so someone could come and save me. But than i thought about how this was a really stupid idea and got up. When i got up i tried to unplug something but blue electricity came out and i almost got electrocuted. I thought about how this was bad because i was a bit wet too. When i left the room i noticed there was a strip of paper stuck to my leg that had a bit of electricity popping out of it. I ripped it off in the hallway than took out a metal piece that was somehow stuck to my nail. I felt sort of lucky to be alive than walked to the room where my older brother sleeps. When i entered the room it was filled with fluffy white furniture,the wall was light pink and it smelled like a really strong smell of something sweet. But i couldn't tell what at the time.

      I asked my brother if he used a really strong perfume. He said no and I noticed how he was eating pink cotton candy in a white box.
      This made me realize it was a dream but i was pretty surprised by how concentrated and strong the smell was in a dream. I than left the room to look for Dawn but as i was walking through the hall a lady appeared flying in the scenery. She began to change things in the house according to the way she wanted it. It was suppose to be scary with a theater type of look. As she was doing this water began to rise in the house. I went to the stairs and walked up a bit. The wall quickly vanished. I turned to see the lady flying to a guy and spin hugging him in the water. She started to joke about how they could breathe underwater now. I found it a bit funny but turned to see a familiar looking DC staring at them too. It was a somewhat large,tan guy wearing a white mask/bandages on his face. I wanted to fly to him but woke up.

      Bakery

      It was sort of Dark outside and i was heading home from work. I wanted to surprise my family with doughnuts though so i went to a interesting looking bakery. The shop owner was a older woman who was also apparently selling barrels of ice cream. I was about to leave when i saw how plain and unappetizing the cupcakes looked. But than customers began to come in and start getting special candy that was now available at the shop. I decided to take another look around and saw small cakes with small items on them. I picked one up that looked like a lemon cake and was about to take it and eat it. But i noticed that the one i was holding, with the blonde girl in the light blue dress, had a strip of paper with the date September 25th on it. I thought these might be Birthday cake stuff that were assigned to people so i put it back quickly and moved to the candy section.The older woman asked me which size bag i would want for my candy. I chose the smallest which was number 1. She laughed saying how she thought i would choose a double size bag of number 1. Than i woke up.


      Death Game

      I was with my old best friend inside a room. Afraid i didn't have the right colored blue scrunchy i left the room to find it.But than somehow i ended up in a city where i felt was a virtual game world. I saw my dad and he told me not to worry because we will find a way out. I left him to explore my surroundings and saw a bunch of kids bullying another kid. I, along with other kids, were going to stop them. But than someone shouted that the boy was humping the other boy. I looked to see if it was true than tried to get the heck out of there. But one of the boys grabbed me and the boy who had his pants off started to aim his pee in my face.

      I tried to keep my mouth as shut as i could.But it was falling all over me and than the boy shouted if it tasted good. I was pretty mad. The boy let me go eventually and ran off. I ran the opposite way and entered a large hall of a large building. There were people with me saying to stay in the group if we wanted to survive.
      I became lucid and decided to take on the challenge for survival. I ran with a group to help them destroy the enemies. When they were near we were told to hide. I flew above and hid in a panel. A black bat with a white circle for a eye appeared and flew through the hall. A woman on our side with a sword and a leopard skin dress wanted to attack him and went after him. I let her go and went the opposite side.

      I wasn't really sure what side i was fighting for anyways. I reached a room filled with a group of people. A asian man tried to attack me. All i had in my disposal was a floppy sword. I attacked him while flying and he began to scream in pain. I didn't like to see him suffering so i dropped the sword and said it was over. I flew down and than a evil thing started to speak. It said that all losers had to give up something and what it wanted the most was the tongue of a Korean man. It typed into a cell phone and extracted the man's tongue with it. He fell to the ground than the thing started to say" How do i want to build my tongue? Make it a light pink. Sprinkle it with sugar." He sounded soooooo creepy when he said this and how he showed me he was building another similar looking tongue was really disgusting.. There was a mini baby doll near the tongue too.

      I flew away than ran into two Indian girls who were on the run and lost my lucidity.

      I mentioned how the mood was changing since there wasn't a lot of people around anymore.The two girls agreed than went into the kitchen to grab something to eat. But one of them noticed that what she ate was poisoned so she told me and the other girl to run. The other girl didn't want to leave her friend though. I tried to take her hand but than she just ran off by herself and i woke up.

      Which Class?

      I was in a sixth grade school building looking for which class i might be in. As i was walking through the halls i decided to go in one of the rooms. I sat there for a bit than one of the students asked how they would know which class was theirs. The teacher said it was on their schedule paper. At that time i realized i was too old and the only reason i was here was to find my hat. I looked around for a bit, found it, than left to the exit. There were parents exiting as well. As i was waiting for others to exit i overheard a old lady say something awful had happened to someone. I decided to get home as quick as i could after i heard that and exited the building. I was now in the part of the school where the kids played recess.But there was only a few kids and it was looking kind of late.

      As i was walking i noticed a kid arguing with other kids. One of them had a gun and was about to shoot them including me. I tried to get away and this led me to hovering a bit.
      I became lucid and started flying away. But when I turned around I saw a old HS friend flying behind me with a machine gun. I tried to get as far away as possible than landed on a street.Lost lucidity after that and ran to a red jeep. But before i got in I looked at myself and saw a red mark on my chest under my white t-shirt. I drove for a bit than left the jeep at the side of the sidewalk and tried to walk fast to the hospital.

      When i reached the parking lot i noticed officers around and others constructing something on the building. "This isn't the entrance!?" I asked. A officer responded saying "No. We aren't going to watch movies here like we use to. The entrance is on the other side. You have to go around". I was annoyed with this and tried to walk as fast as i could with the wound i had. When i reached the sidewalk I noticed the jeep's lights were still on. "Someones could have stole the car!". I thought than ran to the jeep. A tall blonde woman was about to get in.Her 3 little girls were already in the back seat. I told her to stop and jumped on the car. Than i went around and opened the door and tried to pull her out. She got out the car and i drove the car a bit until i ended up in a building apartment or house.

      When i got out I started to walk for a bit.But than the room lights suddenly started to flicker on and off. I thought it might be the little girls. They started to run around and i thought about how they might be mischievous spirits following me since they were somehow still here. So I grabbed two of them, put my hands on their heads and prayed for God to use his holy spirit to send them away from here. The girls screamed than fell on the floor and vanished. One of them was left so i looked around for a bit until she ran and i grabbed her. She was begging me not to do it to her than turned into a little girl i know.
      I realized it was a dream than and didn't want to do it anymore since she was just a dc. Than i woke up.

    11. Alien Queen of the Amethyst Planet

      by , 03-18-2015 at 05:55 PM
      I think I am going to have trouble remembering my dream last night. I will record what I remember later today.

      But, for now, another Lucid dream I had put down previously. This particular dream, I was thinking it was an OOB experience. So some of my wording is odd. I didnt know about lucid dreaming at the time. Also, another experience from college. I used to do some crazy dream stuff back then!

      ---

      I took a nap for whatever reason an art student takes a nap, so when I began dreaming, my conscious mind was still awake. I was back in CT (I was attending college in NYC at the time of the dream) and in my Parent's house. I was in my sister's room, walking, or floating out from her closet and towards the the outside hallway that connects her and my room with the rest of the house. I had the feeling of being led somewhere without my permission, but I figure it was my spirit floating through the house and my logical, conscious mind confused that it wasn't in control. I looked up and into the dining room (as before I was concentrating more on the floor. And no, I don't recollect my feet.) and commented on how the sunlight was shining so nicely into the room. I then took a left, through the open doors and into the living room, where I looked down onto one of my mom's throw blankets that was on the floor along with one of the many furniture catalogs my mom keeps and reads from time to time. I remember seeing some red cloth or reddish cloth blanket or bedspread. I also commented on how the blanket and magazine were even ON the floor, since in real life my mum is such a clean freak and only usually puts things on the floor for a minute.

      I figured, or knew she was somewhere in the kitchen. Next, in a flash, I had speedily made my way to the front door and was looking out the storm window. I then flew outside, spun around to look at a moving van that was parked infront of the house next door and on the sidewalk. I studied it for a while, then...

      I was suddenly somewhere completely different. I flew out of an emerald colored volcano that was hollowed out and without lava. (like a volcano shaped chute or something.) I began ZOOMING towards a sparkling city or palace that was very far away, but I reached it in only a few seconds. Between the green volcanoes and the sparkling citadel was what looked like shining purple chunks of rock, with deep cracks in between them. I couldn't exactly see what they were or if there was anything else under me as I flew, since I was going so incredibly fast. It was also very dark under me.

      The next thing I saw was the interior of the castle. I was standing in the huge threshold of what seemed at first like a sewer, only very clean and without poo-rivers. Or maybe it was closer to a dungeon-like water treatment plant. I stood in a square, grey bricked corridor, looking ahead and down at a river of purple sparkling water. It flowed below the corridor I was in and an adjacent, identical corridor, from the left to the right. It ran through a grate in the left and went off somewhere I couldn't see on the right. I think it also branched off to another river that flowed away from me, further down.

      Next I was at the threshold of the whole manor/castle, only a little in. I now saw before me a humongous, glowing purple orb, inside which was what looked like a star system, or a universe. The orb was on a black pedestal. I think things and mist swirled around the orb. At first this was all very fuzzy, like I didn't have my glasses on and therefore couldn't see well. But, my logic mind still active, I was able to make myself focus. I wanted to remember all of this. I focused too much and things became too detailed. Like if you put on a stronger prescription of glasses that you shouldn't be wearing and it strains your eyes.

      It was then that I noticed a guard to my right and a little infront of me. He hadn't seen me yet and was looking away, like a guard would. He wore a knights mail, a helmet...held a spear? Had faded red on. When I saw him I started to excitedly talk at him, so happy that I was able to meet another person while I was able to still use my logic mind. Of course I scared him, because I was behind him and he had no clue who I was or why I was there. I then realized this, and was afraid he would attack me, so I jumped really high 3 or 4 times to get out of his way. I landed in a room connected to the one I was just in, to the direct left of where I previously stood. There was what looked like gym mats ( both rolled up and unrolled and on the floor ) in this room, and I think it somewhat resembled a P.E gymnastics area.

      Next I remember looking in a mirror and looking at my reflection as I danced excitedly. I looked like me. The guard who I previously scared was still there. He told me, as I looked in this full length mirror, that I was "the reincarnation of our Queen". or Princess. Then I woke up.

      End!
      ---
      After this, I was convinced I was some mysterious Alien Queen in hiding. I didn't know what had happened. Whether I had a dream or I really experienced this adventure as a spirit. I was...confused. :[

      Looking back, I'm amazed I was able to focus and do other lucid-y things without even knowing that I was in a lucid dream. Ha.
    12. 2015-03-18 flashlights, LD #105

      by , 03-18-2015 at 10:36 AM
      A welcome return of more wild & wacky dreams, night of the flashlight: flashlights everywhere. Nice detailed recall of a number of different scenes. Super vivid/bright/stable but only seconds-long LD to finish off the night.

      2015-03-08

      00:06 pre-bedtime. family drama, take 2mg melatonin to aid in getting to sleep

      07:46 (maybe earlier wakings? Some recall from them? don't remember)

      + With members of religious group, the artifacts we want are down in the caverns. Going down into the caverns, we're actually on an expedition to the desert ruins. Two people step on an elevator pad about 2 meters long and barely 1 person thick wide, it starts descending into its well, I decide to hop on and hope I won't get stuck, I have to turn fully sideways in order to make it down (I think we'll come back up this way later?). Step off the pad and head down a hallway, encounter a sticky jello trap where some people are drowning in the jello, some are getting out, and I reach my hands forward and help pull people out. I say "I think this is here to trap the animals coming in from the outside."

      In a crowded hardware store aisle that turns a 90-degree corner to the right, at first I think we'll need water bottles for the desert and look at a few, they're quite small. Then I'm looking at flashlights and trying to choose one. I'm concerned about the batteries they take because those pesky "C-cell' batteries are so hard to find. The flashlight I'm interested in looks to be a C-cell size. I'm hoping to find a D-cell flashlight. The one I'm looking at has a place for an odd rectangular-shaped battery, someone tells me "that's a D-minor battery".

      + I'm standing at the edge of a swiftly running large/deep river. I can see into the water clearly. At first some very large clumps of vegetation float by, I see many blades of grass waving about from the clumps as they quickly float past me (the river flows from my right to my left). Then I see some *really* big scary-looking fish swim past, and I scream at the top of my voice to my friends who are already in the river "THERE ARE GIANT FISH COMING! GIANT FISH!". I'm waiting for a moment when nothings swimming past so I can enter the river and float down. I see from the waterfall to my right (which is flowing in reverse: from below up to the top) that a group of white seals are coming past. I see one in front of me then I jump in the river and hope to hang on to the (friendly?) seal as a raft, but it avoids me.

      I'm flowing down the river and I'm surrounded by these skittish/nervous really large white blobby "seals". As soon as I get right behind one or close to it it scoots away. We're heading towards a city? I see a very large gray hippo is now on my left, I pat it's "nose" and it nuzzles me with its huge head. I'm concerned that this thing could be TOO friendly and squash me. I scratch its face some more as we continue to float down the river.

      + I'm lying down in a some small long area like a camper at the top of a pile of (mattresses?) There are some small kids down below me (friendly or not, unsure). I have (or they hand me?) a large long, heavy, sniper rifle with two scopes: one near the handle (normal place), and one about 75% of the way down the barrel towards the tip. (There's someone outside the building I need to shoot?). The trigger/finger guard has lots of sharp little swoops on it. I'm trying to line up and use the sights. At first nothing, then I get the second line flipped up and I have a very close up view of someone on the other side of this room. I shoot him? Someone says "careful that thing can kill someone!"

      + Outside, some people are talking (man/woman?) that they need to turn on the ground water system. I'm in a 3-meter-on-a-side square earthen pit, and the pit starts filling quickly with water. Someone sinks under the surface and I grab his hands and pull him/her out. Then I pull out a flashlight and toss it out of the pit. I'm then looking for the flashlight I saved, and I find it's been opened and the batteries are missing. I'm trying to find out who did this and eventually someone admits (two different people?) that they each took one of the batteries.

      I'm heading out to the remote post with salad, I'm carrying a tall pile of deep mixing bowls [WL I like to eat salad from huge mixing bowls], people are laughing at me for taking all these bowls but I say it's really convenient, great for mixing salads.

      I'm outdoors it's dark/night scooting fast over ground on a powered office chair that moving me towards my remote outpost, the chair stops and I think it would be great if the chair could give me a ride all the way to where I'm going. I'm surveying the land in front of me, it's a large grassy valley dipping down in front of me then climbing up on the other side, there are (moonlight?) light patches and dark patches. I resolve to move in the dark patches to avoid discovery. Up ahead around a boulder I sense movement and think it's a threatening panther [day residue from DV thread on confronting scary DCs/animals] it moves really fast and I try to face it but it manages to flank me and get behind me, I keep turning and then notice that it's a man. I'm waving things between us to keep him at bay. I have a flashlight that's turned on and wave it at him like a lightsaber, he sort of smirks at me and pulls out a flashlight, I say s.l. "Oh so you have one, too." Then I'm with the guy in some store, he's a clerk selling some sort of women's make-up, the guys say I'll need it to get past the women further along the path, I realize the entire system is a scam to get you to buy things so you can travel without problems.

      + I'm sitting on a couch in a home, and TiZi as a small girl (face is quite accurate) comes up to me, I say "Hi, T!" and she says "Hi, <my name>!" and she comes and sits on my lap straddling me and we hold each other in a long, tight hug. I'm amazed she's this friendly. She says to me, "I love you!". I wonder what people will think if they come in with us in this position.

      I stand up and see PZ (something about the objects in their home?). Then I see ToZ, I'm a bit surprised to see him his hair is now entirely white, we shake hands and say something.

      later:
      + I'm in a utility room, my with face in front of the door of a front-loading clothes washing machine. There's a woman's blue blouse in there, and other clothing, I'm looking at the other items to make sure they won't color bleed in the wash, I say to the woman "it's OK, they're all pretty much blue".

      In a crowded back room there are a bunch of people, including a guy who's in my way. Back to the other room, someone is calling out, "who lost their laptop?", there are small netbook/laptops placed here and there on a high narrow shelf that runs around the border of the room, none of them are mine and I know I didn't lose/leave it anywhere, so I say they're not mind. A guy shows me a pair of glasses that were lost: the left frame and lens are about half the size of the right side: o_O, very odd looking glasses, they're not mine.

      + In my grandparent's house [recognized after waking up], look down and see I'm naked,
      Spoiler for 18+:
      my sister enters the room and I stop.

      + getting a stroller put together for a trip, "where's the surprise snack?", "pick anything you like"

      + (LD #105) I walk out on to my childhood home deck, the geometry is not quite right. The railing has been removed (they're repairing it?). It is bright daytime. The ground/backyard is far below. I strongly feel like flying[DS], I recognize this as a dream sign, but everything is so detailed and vivid and bright and colorful, I'm a bit concerned about falling, so I do a few hops into the air to check gravity, and on the 2nd or 3rd one I notice I fall back down a bit too slowly to be awake, so I stand still and prepare a solid nose pinch, concentrate [I don't want any ambiguous results], hold my nose firmly shut, and I can breath, now I'm fully lucid, I eagerly step to the edge of the deck to my right, I see below on the ground all sorts of bright detailed plants, large white flowers, trees, and step out and start gliding with my arms spread wide. I'm really happy I got lucid: it's vivid, bright, beautiful, and completely stable, "I'M LUCID DREAMING!" I shout in joy, and instantly wake up… O_o

    13. The Pill of Truth!

      by , 03-18-2015 at 10:20 AM
      I was at a party at my parents' house. Numerous friends from my past were there, but I was too awkward to talk with any of them. When I woke up from that dream, I was determined to work on my anxiety issues, so I stayed still and waited for another dream to start.

      I could see one of my old friends from middle school, Eric. I tried to talk with him but the dream hadn't fully formed yet. I waited a little longer and I noticed that I was in a pink bedroom - it reminded me of a bedroom that I once saw at a party in France. I looked around for Eric but I couldn't see him anywhere, so I decided to go find random people to talk with.

      I wandered out of the room and into what appeared to be an apartment complex. There were random people walking all over the place, it was QUITE busy, I guess there was a party going on somewhere. I started talking to random DCs, having conversations with them and working through the discomfort. The more I did it, the more comfortable I felt. One of the DCs that I talked with was this woman that was going to her apartment with her dog, she had vivid green eyes, dark skin, and light brown hair. I talked with her for a couple minutes and she invited me into her apartment where she was having a party. She introduced me to her girlfriend and I told them both how beautiful I thought they were, they thought I was gay.

      I walked around for a few minutes, exploring their apartment. It looked like a pretty expensive place, they even had a fully stocked bar with a bartender that was making drinks for everybody. I was getting a little tired of practicing so I decided it was time to do some tasks! I remembered the pill/potion task first, so I walked up to the first DC I saw and started talking with him. He was a bit chubby and he looked like he had down syndrome.
      I asked him if he had the pill that I was looking for and he immediately took it out of his pocket and handed it to me. The pill was light green and had a four leaf clover on it. I looked around for some water because I was super thirsty, and I found a water bottle that had the words "Red or Blue" written on it (incubated by ~Dreamer~'s matrix pill dream). I swallowed the pill and chased it with some water, then the world around me immediately vanished/fell apart. I felt like I was falling through a black void. I appeared in my body, back on some bed. I couldn't move, feel, or interact with the body, it felt like I was just watching, completely detached from the world, acting purely as an observer. I could only hear a loud humming, it was very relaxing.

      After a couple minutes of relaxing there, I remembered that I wanted to try another task. I made the body move like I was moving it with telekinesis, until I felt like I was actually in it. I left the room and there was absolute darkness. Rather than panicking, I remembered to try some tricks that I had heard about from CanisLucidus and a recent Thread on DV. First, I felt my face, I was looking for a cloth that was covering my eyes. I felt some goggles and pulled them off. I could see that I was in a hallway, but it was night time and very dark still. I felt around in my pocket for a flashlight and pulled one out. It wasn't that bright so I looked for a button on it that would make it even brighter. I pushed a button and it turned off, SHIT. I quickly pushed it again and it turned back on. I then began to wander around the halls. I remember the floor was hard and probably waxed, it reminded me of the kind of floor that I would see in a hospital. I searched these halls for what felt like 5 minutes before I found a room that had some sign of life in it. There was a security guard, reading a book while guarding a library. A few police in training immediately ran past me, pushing me out of the way. They were running up and down some stairs and doing laps inside of this building. I tried to freeze time, didn't work. I began slowly down time while imagining a clock that was ticking slower and slower. I started to hear the clock and everybody moved slower until they were all frozen in place. I moved a few of the guys into very sexual positions, it looked like they were having a full on man orgy by the time I was done. I made time go back to normal and they all collapsed into a pile where they awkwardly exchanged looks of horror with each other.
    14. Taking A Big Risk

      by , 03-18-2015 at 04:34 AM (One Up Seeker)
      1. I was upstairs in my house, and it was daytime. As I am walking down my hallway I suddenly become Lucid. At that same time, everything becomes sort of chaotic. Time seems to move faster, or at least everything seems incredibly sped up. I start walking down the stairs, but I only move one step down before I stop. I see my mom walk as though she was racing, into the foyer and then into the library room. A doubt comes into my mind, "What if I'm actually not dreaming?" I ask myself.
      It then occurred to me that I could test to see if I was dreaming or not by jumping over the top of the stairs and see if I landed safely or not. At the time this sounded like a great idea. I then climbed over the stair rail and jumped off of the top of the stairs. A rush of adrenaline hit me as I realized that if this wasn't a dream I would be screwed. Thankfully, it was a dream. As I jumped off the stairs I started floating down to the floor slowly. What a great feeling that was. My mom said something to me, but I didn't really care. I then walked into my living room and saw my dad sitting down in his recliner chair watching T.V. This was no surprise to me. I decide to walk around the rest of the house just to see if anything has changed.
      I walk into the dining room and here I find a girl about my age. She looks at me in a deeply sexual way and it arouses me. I go over to her and strip her down. She is completely fine with this. We then start banging. Somehow, both of us got teleported into my kitchen, and now we were just banging in the kitchen out in the open. I looked over to the living room and now my dad was gone. My focus now went back to the girl and we kept going at it. I looked down the hallway that connects my dining room and the kitchen and at the end of this hallway I see a mirror. In the mirror I see myself banging the girl, and it matches my every move. Suddenly, I start to see the girl's stomach inflate in the mirror. It kept inflating, but it stopped eventually. Now she looked like she was pregnant.
      I stopped for a moment, "Wow that's not good. And actually, I should really be working on dilating time and finding certain DC's. Ahh I'll do it in a bit" I thought to myself. I then continued banging the chick regardless of the fact that she looked pregnant (why did I do this? why??? D: ). Suddenly my mom walks into the kitchen and sees us banging. As she notices us, the entire house starts shaking like an earthquake. I stumble onto the floor, and I can tell that if I don't focus I will wake up. At one point the earthquake gets so bad that I fall again and
      now I can feel myself leaving the dream and waking up. I stop myself from waking up and enter the dream fully lucid once more.
      The earthquake still hasn't stopped and now my vision gets blurry and grainy
      and it causes me to wake up.

    15. The City of R'lyeh and the Stars are Aligned

      by , 03-18-2015 at 02:52 AM (The Dream Magic Experiment)
      I was in a strange city by the lake. It's like a newly found city. If anything, it felt like Lys (The City and the Stars, Arthur C. Clarke) in the aftermath of Alvin's actions. Everyone's helping build the place. There's also an area underwater that's reminiscent of Bioshock I & II.

      We were hauling some ships from underwater (lake) to discover what they have. There were some fish-men who rose either from the lake or from the ships. We had to hurry back and "close" the rock-doors around the lake/crater. We built the city near the lake and felt we had to abandon the place and look for another one.

      * Lucid

      I was seeing monsters all over the place. Everything was hazy but active. I was being transformed into a monster. I felt my body transforming/being moved. I was nervous. Then I became lucid. I knew it was a dream. I sat on a half-lotus position and focused on my breath like I was doing before sleeping. The movements slowed down, the transformation stopped, everything became still.

      * /Lucid

      I was in school, or felt something like school. I was also at home in our hometown. I was playing a fighting game in an arcade. Or a fighting-adventure game. I lost to a bunch of goons and had second thoughts of continuing the game (during the countdown-game over phase). I decided to continue at the very last moment. I was fighting bosses now. I used a flying kick on one and he caught it. My character was just floating with one leg held by the boss. I "pushed" him back so that he rotated vertically (on one leg!) but it was nothing to him.

      ---

      Notes:

      - Slept at around 10:30 p.m.
      - Woke up around 8 a.m.
      - The two dreams were separated by waking moments
      - Slept with audio: 26-minute Sam Harris meditation audio
