    Lucid Dreams

    1. Outside School DA + DILD

      by , 11-25-2014 at 09:15 PM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I found myself near a school and was on the campus. I was looking at this rock that seem to have written my birthday on it. I got up closer to it because it seem odd and then I notice that the number 6 change in to an 8. That is when I notice that below the rock was the person name in honor. I turn my head and could see a few students coming this way. I decided to begin walking on the side walk passing by them and continue to follow the other departing students. That's when I heard one student call my name from behind me. I turn my head around to see it was a girl in a black hoodie sitting on a bench. I wave my hand and continue to walk on the side walk. On the other side to me I could see other participants taking a test outside. I then had to make a turn to continue walking and then went down another road in till I enter the back entrance of the school. I was still with the other group students that I thought were also leaving. That's when I notice one teacher blocking the next path way to the door. I lean against the door and observe the other students to see what they'll say. Randomly one student decided to go berserk and bash his way through and began panicking. I ask him what was the problem that got him work up? He seem like he was almost going to pass out due to hyperventilating. I can't remember what he exactly said but he did try to assure me that he was alright. We began walking through the hall ways as he stated he never felt more alive right now. He began spinning and doing flips to express his joy. Eventually the dream began to fade and I had a false awakening. I woke up and check my fingers but it was a bit blurry. Since I felt dizzy I figure it must be a dream. That's when I could see around the corners of the room that the dream was breaking down. I turn around and could faintly hear my father voice. A blue spark with yellow lines quickly pass over my eyes and that's when I lost lucidity. Lucidity Time: 5 seconds
    2. Meditating while Lucid – First Time Ever(for me)!

      by , 11-25-2014 at 07:31 PM
      This was very cool! I’m excited! I often meditate (waking world), but I decided to give it a try last night during a lucid dream. It was very cool, and I can’t wait to try it again. Here’s what happened.

      I entered a dream lucid using WILD (Wake Induced Lucid Dream). It was one of many attempts last night that just ended up being a dark and poor clarity LD (Lucid Dream). I decided to do something different in order to improve clarity, and that was meditation. As I mentioned, this is the first time I’ve tried this during a dream. I was in a dimly lit kitchen, near the inside corner of a countertop. I slide down the cupboards with my back to the corner, and then I sat on the ground in the classic ‘praying lotus position.’ When I meditate, I usually do this lying down, and I have no idea why I went into the praying lotus position.

      Here’s where things started to go indescribable. I quickly went from tensed to relaxed state, calming my mind, literally within seconds (unusually takes me 10 to 15 mins), then I went into the hypnogogic state, again seconds later, where I was seeing flashings of brilliant green light patterns, electricity/lightening, and flashes. Then I could feel myself falling, and slowly spiralling counter clockwise. Suddenly, my entire tarsal started to vibrate violently radiating out to my limbs. I was thinking, this is very similar to what happens at night between dreams, except I’m falling and spiralling at the same time, all while in the praying lotus position! It was all I could do to stay calm. The vibrations stopped, and I found myself back in my bed, lying on my left side, exactly where I had gone to sleep. One problem, my legs and arms were still in praying lotus position. I know this wasn’t possible while lying on my side. My dream arms and legs weren’t in my body! Paramedics! I stayed in praying lotus position for about 5 minutes while trying to convince myself to stand up into an OBE. No luck. I then decided to wiggle my hands and feet and see what would happen. My arms and legs then moved automatically back in alignment with my body in lying position. I opened my eyes and did a reality check to see if I was still dreaming. Nope, I was now awake. I’m going to try this again very soon.
    3. Climbing in trees and men on fire.

      by , 11-25-2014 at 03:51 PM
      SO I remember it starting I was in the water like lake Michigan. It was a really long sandbar and I was swimming/walking in the water. I look around on the ground looking for fish and I see these objects near the bottom I go under water for a moment and I see a shark just resting on the bottom of the lake like 10 ft from me. I’m like oh that’s odd sharks are this close to the beach? So I start going back to shore I see a few more but they are all just chilling. I get out of the water and like am jumping onto trees trying to use vines and branches to swing myself higher going from tree to tree.
      I did this for a while and then asked this other guy/bet him he couldn’t get on top of this certain tree. SO he takes the challenge and is like let me parkour first to get into the rhythm I was like oh okay that’s fine. SO he runs and jumps over this metal thing but there was a cop there and didn’t like that so the cop comes after him the dude turns around and throws some gas on them and then uses this like torch thing and sets the cop on fire and starts running. Another cop comes and almost gets burnt to (first guy didn’t get burned his feet did but he stepped into a puddle). Third cop comes up and gets torched and we can smell the burning flesh it was horrible. The guy is like now imploding and we can hear this super loud noise ringing around. Everything is like in slow motion at this point as I’m like slow jumping through the air trying to get out of the range of this blast.

      I come back to and I am in a mall that looked familiar from an earlier dream I walk past this lady and their mom and say what is so and so doing here I haven’t seen them in forever….Hmmm I think I’m dreaming… Hmm I think I’m dreaming…(pinch nose and breath in) Yup I’m dreaming. I walk through a door and it’s like an giant open green house like Fredrick Meijer gardens. This Asian lady walks up to me and smiles I she asks do you know me? I say yes, yes I do you are part of me. She smiles and starts walking away. I walk up to table that I see two guys sitting at. I begin to try to talk to them but one of the guy speaks broken English and is speaking in an Asian dialect. He is talking to this other man who is translating for him.
      I look at the man and ask him if he can help me learn a different language because I really want to learn Japanese/Korean/ mandarin. (I now am not fully lucid as I started slipping into the dream) I sit at a table with several other people that I know from school when I was younger. One of the people I still see often was not himself. He was younger looking, It was as if he was back in 5th grade, but I know it was him because somebody else even said his name and he responded. I chuckled in my head at how silly this was that I was seeing him at such a young age. There is a guy next to me that has a mustache and looks kind of like jack black. As person is talking to somebody else I go NACHOOOOOOOO… And the person stops talking and looks and says dang it now I’m going to think of nacho libre every time I see that guy.

      I wake up and think wow that was cool I had a Lucid dream first on in a while. I sit up and grab my dream journal and began to write down the dreams. I lay back down and sit there just thinking. I feel my awareness come back to me and I open my eyes and then close them again I sit there thinking about my dreams and I realize that last blip I just had didn’t happen I never woke up and I never wrote anything in my journal…..Sadly now my phone is going off and I have to leave for work.


      Dream fragments
      I am in a camper with several people and we are talking about leaving or going some place.

      Im in a kitchen with my mom and grandma and I am eating some chicken noodle soup. The soup is super salt for some reason and while im eating it I notice there is huge chunks of butter in the soup that stil have the wraper on them. ( around 2 sticks of butter after i pulled them out)
    4. The Killer who resisted death

      by , 11-25-2014 at 02:13 PM
      There was this bad guy in my dream attacking people with a knife. He was going along the hallway in a building while he was doing this. As he approached me, I heard him say that he had a gun too, but wasn't using it yet. I didn't let him. Although I was unarmed, I reached behind me imagining that I would find a sword there. It was there as I felt my right hand grasp the hilt. In one motion, I drew it from behind, swinging it forward and thrusting. It went in deep into this guy. He wouldn't shut up though, he kept talking about how he couldn't die and all the things he was going to do yet.

      Its hard to describe but it got messy as he kept moving around and the sword I had in him kept cutting. But I held my fortitude even as it got gross looking. He did die after all, this dude was just tough and prolonged the inevitable. It seemed to take several minutes for him to go, and he talked about stuff he would do as if were in denial about being cut apart with a sword.

      Its nice to know I can always "form" a dream weapon at will to deal with threats in my dreams.

    5. Escaping One Void DILD

      by , 11-25-2014 at 04:22 AM (Inner World حلم Gamma Waves)
      I can't remember exactly when or what cause me to get lucid. I walk in to a base ball game stadium, the crowd was extremely large. I began searching for a seat, I found an open spot but it appear the two people seating a side from me, did not approve of my well being here. They told me did I really have to sit here with my poor looking shoes? I look at my shoes and ask were they really that bad? Then a kid seating in a seat above me started defending by saying I could seat anywhere I chose to sit at. Also adding in addition to that having bad shoes does not mean I have to leave. I told the kid not to worry about it and decided to leave my previous seat and chose to sat next him. The kid still look irritated by what just happened but I assured him that not everyone has a flawed perspective. It seem like the baseball game was about to end. But quickly everything turn extremely dark, the sky began to dissipate a long with everyone and everything on the other side. In till the pressure hit us as well, that's when I finally realize once I began starting to have a difficult time to maintain lucidity that one of the voids were nearby. I told the boy it was time for me to leave. I got up and said thanks to him and started running, but then I stop. I ask the boy what was his name? He said Akubro. I yelled as I could see the whole place turning black that I would remember his name and to meet again. I then fled the use to be baseball stadium and was now in a altered movie theater. No one was still around anywhere, the place look great since it was really dark and quiet with techno looking lights. That's when I was surprise to hear Akubro voice yelling to me about waiting up. I told him to hurry and follow me, for some reason this place seem very familiar to me. I knew a way out of here before the void could consume this area. We rain in till we made it completely outside by passing through the last double doors. I turn around and said now that we're out of it, I can finally see what you look like. He was mainly wearing pink clothes and had light post as an antenna. He look around the age of 4-6. We then cross the street and he pointed to this woman wearing a hoodie over her face. Akubro approach her and ask why did she appear timid and shy? I kept walking on the side walk and began hearing music coming from a radio hanging on a building. That's when I felt like waking up so I tried but lost lucidity and entered a false awakening. Lucidity Time: 6 minutes

    6. I'm No Lucy

      by , 11-25-2014 at 02:54 AM (Xanous' Dream Journal)
      #383 - DILD - 12:45AM

      A large dose of Yohimbe Bark late in the morning, some melatonin to fight the lasting insomnia, and watching Lucy movie may have helped this LD along. It was a little after 11pm when I last looked at the clock and I had multiple awakenings all night. Most of my non lucids where boring and I found myself contemplating the movie in dream several times.

      I was previously lucid from something about the movie. I ended up losing lucidity for awhile and I forgot all of the first part. I have been chasing after someone or something and I eventually stop becoming introspective once again.

      I remember that I was lucid and come back to it once more. I look at my hands and the environment around me. My hands look pretty normal with a hint of dream quality. I realize I am on a hillside at night. I search my mind for a few of my goals. First I recall wanting to have an XCOM dream. I summon a rifle and hear distant marching as I move forward. I search for aliens to shoot but when I look down I see I have no rifle. Ugh. Try something else.

      I recall wanting to try some of the things Lucy did in the movie but I am distracted by a super huge moon at the top of the hill. I run forward but have difficulty finding my footing. I look down and back up and see the moon is gone but there is a large dark sphere at the top of the hill now. I see a silhouette of a man in a cockpit at one part of the sphere. I remember to try CL's pinch zoom to get a better look but it doesn't work. I feel silly making motions in the air and give that one up too.

      The I remember once again Lucy. I try to slap away the sphere and make time past to day time. Doesn't work. Then I try I teleport like she did an surge forward. The dream goes dark.


      I wake up and look at the clock. The time is clear and says 11:30pm. I am really surprised at this and guess I must have fallen straight into a dream. The room lights up and I see all the sheets are gone. I look over and see the woman version of The Master wearing her stupid hat and in some kinky red lingerie. She's droning on something but all I can say is, "Wow the sheets are gone!" I wake up.

      My she's ugly.
    7. First Lucid Dream - Sunset World

      by , 11-24-2014 at 10:41 PM
      Edit: There will be many edits as more of the dream comes back to me. I will just add them in.

      I have had partial lucids before, but none were really very good. They all either lasted like 1 second or I wasn't lucid enough to even know it was a dream. This one could have been better, but I would say it was pretty good.

      The entire dream, and I think all of my dreams during the night, were at sunset. Everything seemed to glow a beautiful orange, from the rocks to the trees.

      Throughout the night I had several times where I became semi-lucid. At one point, I was on treacherous ground of some sort. I made a false step and started sliding extremely quickly. I couldn't stop myself and before I knew it I flew off a cliff, and it was quite a fall (this is one of my dream/nightmare trends). In my dreams my logic is usually very impaired but my feelings towards danger are entirely real, and I experience them just as I do in real life. So you can imagine I was very scared.

      As I started to fall I realized "THIS IS A DREAM. I CAN DO WHATEVER I WANT.". I hit the ground and was fine. I was really excited and the dream started to destabilize. Everything got blurry, and I got super dizzy. I felt like it was collapsing. I tried observing the scene around me but it didn't work. I remembered a trick that I read about in a dream journal - pulling a coin from my pocket. I reached and at first I only felt lint, but then my finger brushed a coin. I stared at it and focused on all its features. The dream formed around me again.

      I know I wasn't fully 100% lucid, just enough to know I was dreaming and stuff. So the rest is a bit blurry because I think I lost lucidity for awhile and was just wandering around.

      At one point it was daytime again, but there was a huge storm blowing in. I just wanted it to be a beautiful summer day. I turned away from the storm front, and said out loud "when I turn around those clouds will be gone". They were, but more thunderheads had appeared in different places. I tried for awhile, and eventually it mostly worked. I remembered those beautiful summer days I had when I was younger and I felt really sad for awhile. I decided to go to my house.

      I realized I was hungry and wanted to ask my mom for food. I was really excited because I knew I could have anything for dinner because it was a dream. I told my mom I wanted a huge steak and soda and milkshakes and burritos and spaghetti and sushi and a ton of other dishes. I knew I wasn't confined by the limits of a real stomach. Unfortunately she told me she wasn't making that stuff and made some weird stew instead. It was really good, and as I was eating it I was trying to think of a way to get more food. Summoning things hadn't worked super well for me so far.

      I think my alarm woke me up after this.

    8. Morning Snuggle

      by , 11-24-2014 at 07:30 PM
      Last night’s dreams were perfect! I was just hanging out with family and friends at some of my favorite spots, and having a good ole time. None of these dreams were lucid except the false awakening just before my alarm went off. I’ll describe this memorable LD (DILD – Dream Induced Lucid Dream).

      I was lying in bed asleep when my wife came and woke me up (in the dream - false awakening). She sat on the bed beside me, to the right. It was morning, because I could see the sunlight around the curtains, and through the bedroom door. There was another woman standing at the foot of my bed doing something by the TV stand. I thought maybe she was one of my wife’s friends. I told her I must look like a weirdo with my CPAP on. She said, “Oh, I didn’t even notice, my husband wears one too.” It was little embarrassing. The woman then walked out of the room, and then my two kids appeared on the bed. My beautiful daughter was lying to the left of me, and my son was sitting beside my feet. I looked at my daughter and said, “Daughter is that you?” She replied, “Hi dad, yeah it’s me!” I became instantly Lucid. I told her I loved her, and she told me she loves me too. I then snuggle her right in close with my right arm (lying on left side). She then said, “You make me feel so loved and _?_?_?” I said, “Daughter you’re whispering, I can’t hear you. What do you say?” I continued to snuggle her, then she said the same thing, but I still couldn’t hear what she said at the end of her sentence because she was whispering. Her whisper became quieter as she got further down the sentence. Her voice was very sincere and loving. I then woke from the dream because my alarm went off. What a perfect way to start the day!
    9. Venomous Cat Encounter on Loomis Street

      by , 11-24-2014 at 05:24 PM
      Morning of November 24, 2014. Monday.



      I am back at my older sister Marilyn’s house in La Crosse and trying to get her to appear by calling out to her to show herself (having the understanding that she had died yet also still potentially present in certain supraconscious dream realms, perhaps). I am semi-lucid in an atypical way; not in a more coherent sense. In one sense, it is vaguely like some sort of soliloquy-like seance. Over time, my sister does not walk from the other room as I expect her to even though I vaguely sense her presence on the other side of the darkened doorway. I am trying not to project my frustration as there is a growing realization she does not exist anymore, yet at the same time I sense her unwillingness to come out. However, there is no stronger focus on mortality by that point. (I have had very similar dream scenes in the past but usually tulpa-based, not related to real people either living or deceased.)

      Eventually, three cats enter the house somehow (possibly through the open front door). One of the cats seems to be one which my family presently has (though had supposedly died in my dream’s back story weeks before). It is Franco, a black and white male cat. The other two cats are more like miniature leopards in one way but still with domestic cat attributes including the body proportions. From here, my dream goes into some distorted scenes where my perception is badly skewed.

      I falsely “remember” that these were my sister’s two cats. Somehow (also an in-dream false memory) they died around the same time she did, which is supposedly related to something unexplainable (relative to “mutual deaths” which stems from real-life ideas of the past where a sister’s neighbor died and then their otherwise healthy spouse died shortly thereafter, supposedly out of grief). However, at the same time, there is a highly ambiguous idea that they are still alive (but Franco had been partly made sick by them as well) and had caused sickness in other people (in turn causing their death) by biting or scratching them (again, a false memory as the other people reflected upon other than my sister are still alive). Again, this is directly related to the two “leopard cats” (possible association with leprosy as well as the pet hybrid bobcat attack I experienced in my youth). They are not very aggressive (they seem to be mostly just playful though do attempt to “hunt” based on my body’s movement), but I want to completely avoid contact with them as they are seemingly venomous. I am aware of mild pressure on my body at times but I do not seem to actually be bitten at any point. (This seems partially related to a “struggle” with the bed sheet and an attempt to get my real physical body into a more comfortable position.)

      I go to the couch, slowly going back into a semi-lucid state, and am on my knees on the floor at that point, my head near the seat of the couch. However, there is not that much coherence even though my general awareness is slowly sharpening. I then go into an odd state that is quite rare, where I attempt to “spit out” my dream while still in it before I fully wake. It takes about three attempts in making sure my dream’s environment does not “enter” my waking essence (the opposite of healing dreams where I intentionally carry facets of my dream’s energy into waking life). I do not seem to recall reading about this sort of dream experience, other than some supposed healers in real life spitting out the essence of what they supposedly take out of their patients. On another note, this dream setting near the couch is the exact spot of one of the only times in my life I have been ill in this manner in real life (from one of the only times in my life that I drank alcohol).

    10. One big test?! (LD #141)

      by , 11-24-2014 at 01:33 PM (Lucid Time!)
      I was laying in bed and I eventually let my mind go. For some reason the first thing that I thought of was my college bathroom. I am in my college dorm bathroom but everything is backwards, along the wrong wall. A nose pinch just to confirm it. Oh, yeah, I just dropped. I've only done this twice before. It's basically like a WILD but it happens right when you go to bed.
      I thought for a moment about my lucidity. Feels nice and strong.
      I can't recall exactly what happened, but I was messing around with my dream appearance. For some reason my eyes were changing colors and drifting into comedic positions on my face; like my cheeks and the top of my forehead. I eventually used a voice command to stop my eyes from doing this. I spent a long time staring at my reflection in the mirror.
      I was thinking about how I look so odd in dreams. I was thinking about how I wound up looking like this in my dreams, with eyes that don't match. For some reason my orange eye was hazel.
      I was able to play around a little bit with the length of my hair too. I made it really short and really long. My hair was also black, rather than brown like it is IWL.
      I played around with my face a little more. I for some reason managed to change into an Asian boy who looked a little like me, and then an Asian girl with a ponytail. For some reason I thought it would be funny to run around the dream-world like this.
      I recall at least twice I almost lost the dream, and tired to save it by throwing on the faucet and drinking cold water.
      I went to the door to leave, and told me that it would take me somewhere that I wanted to go. I opened it and found myself in a park in a beautiful tropical destination. It was surrounded by stucco condos on all sides, save for some gaps. There were a couple of yellow concrete high-rises in the distance, and a huge ringed planet in the sky.
      "Man, I am on a roll tonight!"
      I explored the area for a little bit, and didn't really find anything all that interesting. There were some flowers in the park area and some exotic plantlike, but nothing too memorable. I wanted to see if I could find Manei or Marcus anywhere. I just couldn't. My mom and dad appeared and asked me if I wanted to watch the rocket launch.
      I tried to fly at one point, but I couldn't get the flying to catch. I felt too heavy. I decided it wasn't worth my energy and gave up rather quickly.
      Just then I saw a bunch of men pulling on ropes and they raised a long, thin, white rocket with a single man sitting in a chair on top. The rocket narrowed slightly as it went up and had at least a dozen stages. I questioned how a rocket like that would function. I decided not to focus too much on the thought and laid down some stabilization, reminding myself that I was lucid dreaming.
      I decided to focus on what I had come here to do, get answers with Manei, help her if possible. I saw a beautiful beach-side manor with a glass wall showing the front room and decided that would be Manei's house. I went up and knocked on the door.
      A middle aged man and two identical women came to the door. I asked for Manei. He said that she was in the back, sleeping. One of the women reminded him that if I came, it was okay to wake her up. They led me into her bedroom in the back. It was a total dump.
      I jumped up onto the end of her bed and perched on like a ninja on one of the posts.
      "Well this is just a little ironic"
      "Zzzzz! Huh? What? *sees me* Oh, I know why you're here! What happen last night. (That was two nights ago, but I know what you're talking about.) That was not mistake! I not sick or sad or anything. I test you right, but you fail. You take many test, pass all but that one!"
      "Wait, you only formally told me that you tested me one time..."
      "Yes, that was lucid test, that was first test. I test you many times between then and now, just not tell because it part of test, all pass, looks very good, yeah."
      (You're not going to be passing an English test anytime soon. That or maybe she was speaking this way to get to the point faster. In that case you are a genius, Manei. )
      "What was that test on, anyway? Emotions? Judgement? Compassion?"
      "No, but it was in that category."
      "What is the purpose of all these tests anyway?"
      -A long ramble that I didn't bother to remember, the dream faded despite me banging my hand on the base of her bed trying to stay in the dream. I was more focused on hanging on to the dream than listening to what she was saying. Something to do with 'higher ups' and these dream tests that we have been participating in.
      "...These tests very hard, most people no pass first time. The reason they hard is dream guide and dreamer must work together. Some time problem with dream guide; some dream guide mean. No appear for dreamer, no want to work hard for them, or think dreamer too stupid, not worth their time. They dream guide; if dreamer stupid, their job to make them wise. Job as teacher look easy, not easy if done correctly. Have to work as hard as student, sometimes harder.
      Sometimes dreamer, too violent, always want fights, or, sometimes sex, sex, sex, all they want. Even if dream guide try and teach, no pay attention; dreamer have thick head. Most of the time; problem with both dreamer and guide. In order for us to pass through together we have to trust each other completely and give all our effort"
      I was in a black void by the time she finished that last sentence. I paused for a moment and could see a rectangular white light in the upper right hand corner of my vision.
      "I want to wake up right now!"


      I false awoke into my college dorm. I did a nose pinch, but it didn't work for some reason. I started shuffling around in the dark looking for my laptop to log onto DV. Somebody had left the door open. Around the time I was booting up my computer I woke up for real.

      Well... wow. There are really two ways of looking at this. One obviously just being my subc trying to explain the weird stuff that Manei has been doing in recent weeks or the other that I really am being tested by some 'higher ups'.
      Both the spiritual and scientific interpretation of this are equally terrifying.

      My biggest question is 'What happens now?' This storyline is obviously gonna play through one way or another. am I going to take the same test again? Or another one? Or have to start over? Or maybe I'll just pass anyway because I'm that awesome.

      Another question is, the lucid barrier. That was put there to train/test me, but I managed to damage it. Is that cheating? Well if it is; too bad, so sad. I'm f*cked. I should probably admit that I did that.

      I managed to get back to sleep after this. The dreams it yielded were not lucid, though. I recall reading something that was chiseled into boulders that were thrown into the lake behind my house. There were hundreds of them, filling the lake
      I was then talking with some girl on a bike about song lyrics by Infected Mushroom.

      There was also something to do with my Taekwondo studio.

    11. School, Fight, and Wandering Around

      by , 11-24-2014 at 01:09 AM (One Up Seeker)
      1. I was inside of some sort of school, and it definitely was not my school. The floor was covered in white marble tiles and the walls where also a very clean, bright, white color. I walked into the class I was supposed to go to and right as I walked inside I noticed a guy that I had despised for years, and currently still do. His name is Adrian, he's really tall(over 6 feet), has short thick black hair, and super thick eyebrows. His eyebrows are literally like huge black bushes. Anyways, once I noticed him in class I walked past him and kept cool and decided not to say anything until he did.
      Right as I passed him though I also decided to start fresh, "Hey whats up man." I said to him. "Shut up faggot." he replied. This immediately got me heated. "Dude, I don't know what the fuck your problem is, but I'll settle it right here, right now." I told him. "Alright, well lets do it." That being said I took of my jacket and excess loose clothing and waited for Adrian to do so, I was feeling more confident than ever. After Adrian got ready he came over and stood in front of me. Right as we were about to start fighting I realized that I still had my glasses on, and I didn't shattered glass going into my eye if I did get take a face shot, so I told Adrian, "Whoa, hold up real quick. I forgot to take my glasses off." Turns out he had glasses on too, so we both took our glasses off and set them with our clothes. After that we came back to the middle of the classroom.
      For some reason the classroom lights were now off, but I could still see pretty good considering it was daytime outside. The whole class was rather quiet now, and everyone's eyes were one Adrian and I. "Aright, finally ready, lets go." I said. However right as I said this, the assistant principle walked in. Somehow right as she walked into our room, the room got even darker than before, so it saved Adrian and I from getting caught for fighting, even though we didn't even start. Everyone returned to their seats, even me and the jerk I was about to fight. Once everyone sat down, the assistant principle started talking, "Aright where are you?!?!". Immediately I thought that someone had reported us for almost fighting, but then my friend Trey stood up, "Look ma'am, it was me, but please, can we not do this right now?" I then remembered that Trey actually got in a fight a few days ago, and the APs(Assistant principles) were still after him to get him punished for it.
      A little conversation started between the AP and Trey, but not too long into it the AP cut it off and whatever problem there was was now resolved. After the conversation between the two ended, I got up out of my seat, told Adrian we could settle this another time, and then walked out of the classroom. Immediately I became lucid out of no where. I walked down the hall to my left and after a few seconds of doing so I found myself over a bridge inside of the school, it was built over the cafeteria to prevent walkway traffic from building up(I assumed so because that's why it was built in my school). As I came over this bridge, I stopped halfway over it, just examining the cafeteria. Everything seemed rather quiet, and compared to my real school there were probably around 1/4 or even 1/5 students in this school than in mine.
      The cafeteria had plenty of room to spare, and it was lunchtime too, so I was pretty stunned. I noticed directly in front of me on the bridge walls there was a clear glass gong attached to it. Since I knew I was inside of an LD, I hit the gong expecting to shatter it, however it didn't work. I even pictured it working, but it still didn't work. I came to the conclusion that it didn't work because I initially didn't really care if it did or not. After playing around with the gong for a minute or so, I walked to the downstairs part of the school and walked outside of the school completely. Once I got outside i noticed that the ground was covered in snow and it was a little bit cold, but it certainly didn't feel cold enough for snow. I still enjoyed it all though.
      I looked around my entire environment, and in front of me I saw a few vehicles. One was a snowmobile, another was a dirt bike, and there were a few other unusual vehicles that I didn't see everyday since I live in Houston, Texas. Since I had never ridden a snowmobile in real life before, I decided to try it out. Just then I noticed that there were some soldiers behind me running towards me, and they had guns. Not far to my right there was another soldier, but he was different, he looked like a super soldier. He had high-tech armor on. It was all black and I hadn't seen anything quite like it before, so I can't really describe it. I felt a threatening vibe coming off of these guys, especially since they were all running right at me.
      In response, I sprinted to the snowmobile and started it up. For some reason, the soldiers didn't shoot me. I went on full throttle and took off. The way the snowmobile felt while you rode it felt amazing. It was smooth, but at the same time you could feel the snow in a weird way. I rode around the entire school at full speed. A few minutes in I started thinking to myself, "This feels so real, and I can do whatever I want!". Although I already knew that, it just amazed me when I realized it again. "And I can stay in as long as I want too!". There was alot of other cool things I realized, but those were the two main ones that I remember.
      I continued riding around the school, and once I got back to where I started I got off of the snowmobile. Suddenly I noticed some soldiers far off in the distance, and they were running towards me. I still had no idea what I did, or why they were even after me, but I decided to hide. Not sure why I decided to hide, since i could do anything I wanted, like kill them, go invisible, all that other stuff, but I did. I went behind a pillar next to the schools doors and hid. A minute or so after I hid the soldiers came up to the school and started looking for me. In the bottom left corner of my field of vision, I had a map displayed like some kind of HUD in a video game. I could see the soldiers getting closer to me.
      At one point, the regular soldiers couldn't find me, so a special squad of soldiers were released from armored vans to look for me. These special soldiers had white armor with red and blue flashing lights on them. They could've easily passed as armored police officers. They quickly found me, and after this I don't remember what happened.

    12. 11/23/14 Trains, FA Becomes Possible Odd Transition DILD

      by , 11-23-2014 at 11:02 PM
      11/23/14 Earlier dreams including playing some great music on a nice sound system and navigating a train platform with actual local trains being announced. After a late WBTB I have an FA in my actual sleeping location and soon find myself coming off of a train platform again and I realize I am dreaming. I think it may have been the odd transition from sleeping location FA to train platform after a brief moment of confusion. I am looking down a long street toward a largish group of people sitting on some benches along the road at the cross street of a T-intersection. I initially have some more adult ideas and I am flying that way not too high and not too fast and drop back down and walk up the people for the last 10-20 yards. I see it is mostly families and I drop the adult ideas. (What is up with this more tame me?) I walk up to one of the ladies and convince her to let me hold her 1 year old girl after some dialogue back and forth and had to use some Jedi mind trick type dialogue to close the deal. The baby is cute but is squirming around too much and give her back and I move to the lady with the 3 year old and have to do some convincing again to be able to hold her. I am surprised how much heavier she feels in the dream. The dream seemed to replicate the difference between the two girls quite well. I make baby faces at the girl playing with her for a bit and then hand her back over and start to look around and think about what I want to do next and lose the dream. Kind of short. I should have had some goals in mind but have kind of let goals slip into the back seat lately. Like yesterday I am able to float back to sleep with some interesting HH's including one of a gorgeous woman turning to look at me and her hair flowing. 237

      Night 4 of "meditating" on my dreams and continuation of day practices adding silliness to up attention to my RC and RRC's. During WBTB I keep a little more sleepy/dreamy and don't stay up long but stay awake a while in bed keeping the focus simply on my previous dreams with the occasional MILD-like affirmation...usually one or two thoughts only which seems to allow me to float into HH's with some light awareness. Once again immediate waking life showing up in my dreams though I guess FA's more commonly do that.
    13. Zombies, goblins and teenagers.

      by , 11-23-2014 at 09:56 PM
      The dream starts off non-lucid with me sitting in front of a TV screen watching something (a surfing video?) while chatting to a blonde, middle-aged woman who I am aware is a spirit entity rather than a physical human. We start by talking about haunted houses and the paranormal, before going into more personal matters. Then we lose contact and it's just me and the TV.

      I wake up, write it all down for about five minutes before going back to sleep.

      In my next dream, I find myself in the world of The Walking Dead. The group of survivors I'm with are American teenagers - possibly "Spring Breakers" (I'm not American, and I'm only familiar with this from US films and TV shows.)

      In this world, some of the zombies manage to communicate that they are still at least partially human and that they mean no harm. At one point, I remember chatting to a zombie woman about some fairly mundane stuff.

      Then I am in a local cemetery, where I find the entrance to a dungeon-like place underground, like something out of D&D. The place is filled with goblins, armed and guarding something on the other side of a river of lava.

      This is where I become lucid. While figuring out how to get to the other side, I realize that I need to take a piss, and I decide that this is more important than fighting goblins.

      Even though they have noticed me on the other side, and start moving into position to attack me, I decide that I can't be bothered with this fight and just need to find somewhere to relieve myself.

      There is a bridge across the lava, and it was here that I actually find a goblin toilet, in a stone outhouse on the bridge. It is basically a domed lid on the floor. I pick it up to find it is just a hole in the ground. I didn't think this was of a good enough standard, so I went to the other side of the bridge and just pissed into the lava.
      No one attacked me, but half-way through, I noticed the spring breakers above moving into the lava. I narrowly avoid pissing on them. Then I woke up.

      Thankfully, I'm not one of those people who dream of going to the toilet before waking to find that they've wet the bed. That would have been a real pain in the ass to deal with.

    14. Attempting to Address the Dream Itself

      by , 11-23-2014 at 07:20 PM
      Good morning, I just woke up, got my Timmies, and now listening to Krokus, preparing to dream journal. Yeah, I’m a Krokus fan, I’ve got all 13 of their best albums off iTunes! Yup, I even got my leopard skin spandex on (Joking!) Anyway, I’ve often heard about people talking to the dream itself. This was my attempt last night to communicate with the consciousness, if there is such a thing, behind the dream. It’s all part of my quest for no violence or bad behavior while lucid.

      I was involved in another ½ hour long lucid dream where I was on a huge space station, probably because I’m all 'wrapped up' in the ‘The 100’ series on Netflix. I did drop out of the lucid dream momentarily about 3 or 4 times, but I just stayed still and calm, and focussed on the dream, and then I immediately went right back in where I left off.

      Okay, back to what I’m trying to describe. There are these 3 dream figures standing there in a room, and they all know I’m lucid, because they were just watching me practice forward, and backward summersault flying tricks. I talked to them momentarily about the fact that I was Lucid, and I was probing them for information about what this lucid dream world is really about. Actually, I’m pretty sure I already know, but it’s my own theory based off my observations and experiences. They were very interested in me querying them, but they were unable to give me any details, but it was obvious they knew. I then turned, and put my back to them, and stared at the space station wall and said, “Consciousness behind the dream, please tell me why there’s violence and bad behavior in my dreams.” I waited, a second, and there was no reply. I could hear the 3 guys behind me giggling. I turned around to face them, and they spun their backs to me, and they started to giggle even louder. I said to them, “Hey, wait a minute, there is a consciousness behind the dream, and I’ve heard its voice before.” They looked a little more serious, and then faced me again. I think they did this because they were a little scared of me, and it was not so much an understanding. I put my backs to them and addressed the dream itself again, “Consciousness behind the dream, why is there violence and bad behavior in my dreams? I do not want that.” Well the three dream figures behind me started to laugh again. I turned and faced them. I told them, “You guys have me at a bit of disadvantage here, please do tell?” They looked at each other and one fellow said, “Let’s send a space probe down to Earth, and examine this guy a little further.” I then retorted, “What, you’re going to give me anal space probe?” He didn’t like that comment too much, and said, “We’re going shut off you lucid dreaming abilities.” I blasted back at him, “I’m too smart for that to work, and you’ve tried before, and it didn’t work!” He got angry at that point, and his facial features faded to almost nothing (no nose or lips), and his eyes turned black. He looked at the other guys, and said, “Give him a pill.” I then created a jar of strawberry hard candies in my hand, held it up to him, and then I popped a couple in my mouth, and said, “Ohhhh, I love pills!” They were not at all impressed. They then turned and walked away, and stupid me, I followed! They led to a room with three wrinkly, dark skinned, 7 foot tall, alien type beings. I haven’t seen anything like it before, but I was not scared, just fascinated. All of sudden, the lights go out, and one of these giant aliens grab me, and stuffs what feels like a baby octopus in my mouth. It was latched onto my tongue, and trying to go down my throat. I grabbed onto the little bastard with my right hand and pulled for all I was worth. I thought my tongue was going to rip out of my mouth. The creature finally let go, and I threw it on the ground and immediately woke myself up. Thinking back on the dream, I seem to be the problem, not the dream figures. The dream answered my question about bad behavior. I have some personal problems that I need to work through in order to improve my lucid experience.

      Here are a couple of highlights from the same lucid dream:

      1) I was in the space station storage area for pets. There were all these beautiful dogs, and one cat (my dream sign). I was kneeling on the ground petting them all. There had to be at least 25 dogs. I was buried up to my neck in jumping, licking dogs. Tails all wagging. It was real fun.
      2) I called for my daughter to join me. She went running past me full speed, down a space station corridor with two friends, and I chased after them, but they were too fast for me to catch. That was odd, because I have unlimited speed when lucid.
      3) I found an empty space station utility room, and went inside and closed the door, to get away from the crowd, so I could maybe meet with my daughter in peace. The door opened and my boss from work walked in. He was smiling, and I grabbed him by his arms and lifted him up onto a counter. He looked shocked that I would do such a thing. I felt I was being somehow tricked; perhaps I was a bit paranoid. I apologized and said, “Let’s have a beer!” He said, “Sure!” and he pulled two beers out of his suit jacket. The beer tasted so damn good! We got half way through the beers, while having a good chat, and then the door opened and a stranger walked in. My boss went invisible, but his beer didn’t, and his beer was moving around the room. It looked like it was floating. I said, “I can still see your beer.” Then his beer vanished. Well, invisible dream figures? That’s new.
      4) There was a small, control office building at the space craft docking bay. I was practicing jumping from the ground onto the roof, and then forward summersaulting back to the ground. During the first few tries I was face planting, or landing on my butt, but I finally got it right!
      5) As I mentioned earlier, I did momentarily wake a few times during this ½ hour long, lucid dream, and during one momentary waking, I heard my daughter scream at me for some reason. It was like she wanted me back in the dream, or she was giving me crap for my bad behavior, so I quickly went back into the space station, lucid dream, and tried again!

    15. Two Opportunities Untaken...

      by , 11-23-2014 at 04:51 PM
      While I'm very busy irl, I've not been giving much thought to LDing at all, but yesterday something spectacular happened - just for two seconds, unfortunately.

      I got lucid when the relatively vague normal "dream-scape" suddenly exploded at me into a real place.
      Full sensory immersion, like my very first adult lucid, such tangibility and mental clarity as well.
      But I got over-excited, that didn't happen for a long while actually, but usually I have to "work" on getting the dream truly realistic, and I almost never fully succeed - so this overwhelmed me.
      Nothing special in terms of scenery - me on a summer meadow.

      Then this night again, I noticed an inconsistency, but couldn't vocalize to a DC, I wanted to tell it to.
      Optics were rather vague and I made a stupid mistake - I tried to open my dream-eyes a bit wider - bam - seeing my room, wide awake.

      Maybe now with journalling I'm a bit more prepared for if it comes again tonight.
