lucid

+ I've learned how to control the super tank weapon: I can shoot it without the tank recoiling hundreds of yards, this will lead to massive advantage in battle. The secret is that you must drive the tank forwards while firing the weapon, then you will maintain your position. I see a field of tanks in the distance firing the weapon (sort of orangeish beams of energy) and all the tanks suffer huge recoil, zipping backwards far distances.

+ Cars are going off the road and through the curtain, I'm waving them back on to the road

+ I see industrial buildings in the distance: half-constructed, or abandoned

+ The bricked yard is dirty (later realize this is IWL parent's house front yard), I see dirt along the edge of the ground/house, and in the corner, I think I should at first vacuum it but who uses a vaccum cleaner in the yard? I think a leaf blower is another good option, you can gently pulse it (otherwise the dirt will just fly all over the place), making neat piles of dirt that you can then sweep up easily, the ground will be really clean.

I move to the brick porch and brush some dirt away from the bricks with my hands. I notice that there is a HOLE in the brick patio, like several layers of bricks have fallen out, there is sort of a construction skeleton showing where the bricks used to be, below the patio there is only air going far below.

I'm looking up above me now at the ceiling, thinking how to fill in the bricks that have fallen out. There is a rectangular section needing to be filled in, it looks like 1 1/2 bricks are needed in a repeating pattern, , I'll need to form 1/2 bricks somehow, then use mortar and fill them all in. I'm pushing bricks and chunks of dried mortar in to place but they're not holding, a single brick falls down, I watch it fall far into the air below me, where it strikes a massive brick castle/building, which starts then to collapse. I mean, come on, just one brick? The building slowly, entirely collapses in on itself into rubble, Uh Oh! Well, that couldn't have been a very safe building to begin with, if just hitting it with a single brick can destroy it, the same thing could happen just by walking around inside it, it was a very unsafe building! Also, the building was only recently excavated/discovered, and the sponsor of the excavation can't be mad because it was only just discovered.

+ I'm writing a message on paper, my lines are not horizontal, I see that they are sloping down and to the right. I move to the next line and try to aim to be horizontal but it's still slanting to the right. I write the letter "a" in script, look at it, think it doesn't look much like an "a" and try again. I then think I should continue writing down and to the right so that the rest of the line can be level at least, I think about drawing an arrow from the spot where I stopped to the where I'm going to start to show the flow of reading.

+ I'm sitting in a booth across from a beautiful blonde wearing blue jeans, I think we're parting, I want her contact information because she will probably become a very famous musician, I love her music and want to stay in touch with her. Is she a hooker? I don't want her to think me asking her information means I want to call her like a hooker. I think I'd better just go, I feel very poignant at this parting, she's sitting besides me now, I reach over with my right hand and gently touch her knee/leg (on her blue jeans), say "goodbye", stand up and go, I go forwards, turn around the end of a low barrier and walk back the other way, looking at her one last time, wondering if she'll be looking at me, and I see she is, but she's wearing really big Elton-John style sunglasses.

I now think I'm on an airplane, I'm walking by aisles of people sitting down. Look at some of the women, hey that's not just cleavage, that's a fully exposed boob! See several of these, move on, I need to get off the airplane, I can feel it moving, starting to taxi to takeoff. I need to get off, I'm not going to fly to the destination. How can I contact the captain? I speak to a flight attendant, can I get off? I think so and I anticipate going to my favorite Thai restaurant (I think I'm in Seattle) and getting pad thai, that will be awesome.

There is a line of people arranged in two rows standing facing each other, there is some sort of force field protecting the aisle between them (this is the way off?) children will go first. I see someone touch the field and see a big electrical flash and hear a ZZZZZZap!

+ I'm on a huge voice controlled elevator, like a massive freight elevator but in a really big fancy mansion in the contemporary/modern style. My son has directed the elevator to go to the showers. He asks me how I know it's moving, I can feel the gravity effects changing and say that's how you know. I catch a glimpse of outside (elevator has clear/glass walls?), like a canyon. I turn towards the door of the elevator and say "<Son>'s room", then exit into a large hallway with modern/tall/glass doors. I expect to see an indicator of some sort and indeed to the left down the hallway there is a large square indicator blinking. I walk there and enter the room.

The room is huge decorated in modern/contemporary style, low lighting but not too dark, I see very many things spread out through the open space, walk through, see a huge captain's chair raised up off the floor and think this must be the media/movie chair the screen must be in the wall across from it, turn around a corner into another huge area, my son points out the "spikey ball pit" which I see in the distance barely, I think we're going to see his bed, I get lucid and am still here in this same room, I wonder at the solidity, the clarity, it's completely stable, but I feel compelled to retrace my steps, I leave the room and walk past the elevator (not noticing it) into a large outdoor open area where there are people moving around doing things, kicking a soccer ball, I want the to go away so I can (summon a girl?), I wave my hand across the scene willing them to vanish, and when I put my hand down I feel satisfied, the scene is empty of DCs now. I continue walking forwards, and reach behind me and summon the musician/hooker/blue-jeans/blonde and vaguely note that she's holding my hand as I continue walking forwards. I reach a corner and sit down on a sort of bench, all decoaration is gone, walls/floors are white and featureless. I start taking a dump, things are a bit loose. A woman approaches and picks up a laptop case located right next to me and walks away, hey is that my laptop? I'm not sure. If it is, what will I do, I'm here for a job and I'll need my laptop to get work done. I notice two CGs seated right in front of me, I start to appreciate their features and think I should get down to business but then the dream ends.

Zombies and aliens:

I was in an underground bunker for a long time with a few other people, trying to stay as quiet as possible. There were zombies around, but they would only attack if you made a lot of noise. we formed a sort of colony for awhile and eventually established contact with the surface. it turned out the zombies were a sort of shock troop for an alien invasion, and the people on the surface were doing far worse than we were. I traveled to the surface and hijacked a boat from some goblin-like creatures, intending to travel to a city that was under attack. I made it there in time to realize I wouldn't be any help. The aliens were attacking from the air in giant spaceships, pandemonium was breaking out in the city. I just stood there and looked at the sky and the ships, realizing the futility of it all. though I didn't have an official oh shit moment until I saw one particular spaceship that had a gold colored hull, I somehow knew that it had it had a weapon equivalent to a nuke onboard. I decided that the best thing I could do at this point was to detonate the weapon before the rest of the aliens got out of the blast radius. With a heavy heart, I sat down on a street corner, closed my eyes, and focused on the ship. I felt my body desintigrate with the rest of the city as the silent explosion washed it into nothingness.

Lucid, trying to make another so:

I was wandering around a park when I did a random reality check. I became lucid, suprising myself as I was genuinely not expecting to be dreaming. I ran up to a picnic table that had a few other people sitting at it and exclaimed that they were dreaming, they didn't seem to believe me. I plugged one girl's nose for her, and she became lucid, but also very sickly. I wasn't sure what happened. I hung out with her for awhile, eventually getting her phone number, It seemed to make sense at the time, but when I wore up it didn't match up with how phone numbers work, (it was my area code-111-111)

This early morning I remembered some dreams but didn't bother writing them down as they were quiet dull, I kept one just to keep the DR busy. However I did have one micro-lucid which only lasted 2 seconds unfortunatly.

1. First day

I'm at school walking around the yard and I notice all the buildings are wide open and there's some sort of party going on, a party for the first day of school I think. (IRL we don't have any party's) I talk to a lot of people and notice how many new people there are in my class. (IRL we currently have a system which makes classes very static and they don't change in the last years) Anyway, some sort of show is about to start and next to the canteen I see chairs in a row with umbrellas over them cause it's Sunny. I take a seat and wait, around the yard students gather for what's about to take place.

2. Micro lucid° (SEMI)

I'm walking down a corridor, it's pitch black and I feel as if my eyes are closed. I'm already aware, trying to stabilize and also build up the dream but it quickly fades away.

Well, I guess after some thinking I might try FILD out again, this morning I was in the perfect condition for it but I didn't thought of using it.

Blue: Dream
Bold: Lucid
Black: Awake

In this dream I only remember the lucid part and a little bit before the latter. I had it in the middle of the night and woke up. I assumed I'd remember the preceding details and returned to sleep, but I forgot them. Luckily, I've got a second dream I can post that I recall still, though it wasn't lucid.

I dream I'm walking around outside at midday. I see a lovely palm tree sitting nearby, and I suddenly feel like I have to pee. So I walk over past the tree and unzip my shorts and pee. As I'm peeing, a couple girls and one guy I know are coming from behind. One of them says something, however I don't recall what. It's at this time I become lucid mid-piss. I zip up my pants, knowing I don't actually have to piss. I turn to my friends and inform them that we should fly around. They seem completely alright with what I just suggested. Most DCs would be a little weirded out by that. So obliging my idea, we all jump up in the air and begin flying around. I take the lead, and I am flying at lightning fast speeds. It was pretty damn fun. Eventually we stop and land on the road. There is a car nearby and my friends get in the car. As they're doing so, I recall the Task of the Month. We're all so interested in flying, so I know which one to do immediately.
"Hey guys, we should fly to another planet!" I suggest.
"No, let's go do something else. Come on, get in!" my friend replies.
We argue about it for a minute, and I get frustrated. So I decide to do a different task, the nudity task. So I pull all of my clothes off and began dancing around. My friends are quite disgusted, and they're freaking out now. I then proceed to jump in the car and dance around, and they're all very disgusted. This goes on until I awake unintentionally.

... So I already wrote this dream down but I lost it, so I'll just write it again quickly.
It's another low lucidity LD with great plot (I'm loving these kind of dreams).

Lucidity: 5.5/10
Control: 6/10
Vivacity: 7/10

I was made prisoner by "Nazis" and put in a Castle, but we escaped with a few others.
We eventually realized that a girl surrendered and told the Nazis where we were.
After Tracing through gardens and scaling walls trying to escape my enemies, I became lucid near a cliff in the "Jungle". I'm just standing there a little dazed, I don't know what I should do.
The Nazis sent a jaguar against me and I didn't really know what to do, so I front flip over him and just stayed standing there. I'm confused and my control is pretty bad, so I let a woman (the one from my last LD !?) and her allies grab me as I try to get my thought together.
Eventually I remember sage mode.
I shoot back; I don't have enough time to meditate so I enter sage mode from a standing position. I feel the orange markings appear around my eyes. I swing my hands in front of me, and act like I am opening an "invisible sliding double door", using telekinesis to make the guys who were grabbing me shoot to the side, clearing my way. I walk up to a boat, testing my dream control by crushing parts of it by telekinesis, and making pieces of it levitate. I am interrupted by some guys running at me, and I use telekinesis on some of them to throw them away but I wake up before I can do anything else.

(First Dream)I don't remember.

(Second Dream)
I was at my house and my sister wanted to give me cookies in my dream. I don't recall much of what happened though. I did a lot of stuff after that and I think it involved proving I was a capable person for a position. Anyways somehow I ended up in a bathroom with silver colored stalls. I had to pee badly but there was a guy mopping the floors and people kept coming in and out so I left. I walked to the halls and someone with the same outfit from another dream who had medium length hair spotted me and said Hi. He said he saw me before. I thought he was dressed as a hippy or priest but I'm not so sure. I didn't know where to sit and the students were about to debate about a important topic. The guy who said he knew me or another guy took a student and used them as a tool to create another seat space. I sat down and noticed the star of victorious debating near me with the rest about better lemonade for the school. I tried a lemon I saw sliced on the table and suddenly a loud noise occurred. The school was being destroyed by a suspicious character. The detectives showed me a footage of how badly a part of the building was destroyed. Than people started paving in the walls near the lunch room and every where else quickly. I heard them talking about how soon the epic dream sharing battle would begin. Suddenly everything got dark and I saw lots of beds. I was on one and peeked quietly to see a girl fighting a boy on a online game. There was someone saying how the boy would fail cause he's afraid of heights and the girl would just defeat him with her super sound of screaming. Which she did in the game.Woke up after that.

Non-lucid
Lucid


First dream I had during the night was a dream of me scrolling the DV forums (wish I did a RC then) and after that I woke up

Second dream, I went roller skating and saw a guy I know from school in it, one thing I noticed was that I was EXTREMELY short as well. Somewhere in the dream I went off with some random guy with long sandy blond hair, talking about something whilst walking amongst beams and ropes. During our walk, he managed to slip and fall and broke an arm.

Next, I appeared in a massive house, I had a pet tiger who didn't look like a regular tiger, he was fat and round and had a head was the size of a boulder and he often growled like a dog. Somewhere during that part of the dream, I got upset over something (can't recall what) and I started seeing copies of the same person and I thought they were stalking me.

Later in the dream, someone gave me a tour of a room where they head heaps of pets (from cats, dogs, a pelican (who was super aggressive). Next I was in my front room of my house with heaps of birds and somehow ended up in my room. I went to turn on a light and it lit up some kind of billboard hanging on my wall and I thought, that's not what the light is suppose to do, tried to do finger through hand, didn't go through, but as soon as I plugged my nose and breathed out

"I'm dreaming!" I think. I stop myself, since I became a little excited and my dream started fading. I shouted "stabilize!" but the dream faded out

Woke up in my bed, with my laptop sitting there (false awakening), thought that can't be right, did the nose plug again-

- I became lucid again. But as soon as I plugged my nose and became lucid, I started falling into nowhere. I saw text flying past me, then it went grey and I just kept falling and falling, I tried to concentrate on teleporting somewhere by imagining a door to the Great Hall in Hogwarts, I even tried demanding vocally "take me to Hogwarts!", which didn't work so I thought what else can I do in a lucid, jokingly thought sex, then a sound of a voice message being activated intruded my dream with someone starting to talk about sex and I thought "I don't want this" and I felt myself losing lucidity as well so I forced myself awake.

Woke up, and saw the remains of my dream being sucked away right before my eyes at the speed of light. It was a failed attempt at controlling, I'm still unsure if I dreamt of being lucid at one point, but I definitely became aware at some stage. The only good thing is that I managed to get a RC into my dream, which is something I'm quite proud of. It means I'm getting there . Will try again tonight.

#336 - DILD - 1:30AM

In this LD my recall is really bad and my lucidity was in and out. I really struggled to remember what I could. Plus about an hour before this 3 times from dreaming about some dreaming study and having a since of duel existence. I woke up nose plugging and slightly panicked.


I am at my cousin Jared's wedding. I am a groom's man and we are getting dressed. I have a tux on but I can't find my shoes. It turns out that no one ordered them for me. Jared is super pissed off that I'm not ready and I'm pissed off I don't have shoes. I rush around trying to find some that will work. I am about to run to the store but Bill Cosby talks me out of it and we decide on some shoes I find laying around. Once I begin to feel better, I realize my cousin is already married. I have a lucid moment but the dream goes nuts and I am fooled by FA

I am on the docks near some type of small wooden ferry. There's this African American couple there. The man is telling the woman about how he quit his job, sold everything, and gave up religion to be with her. The couple shares a joint but after each hit their lips look odd like they are pulling apart briefly. They kiss and start doing some tribal dance. The woman takes off her shirt and I watch her spin her nipple tassels around. I feel awkward about this and have a lucid moment again but the dream shifts and I lose it.

I am sitting in some room with Kid Cudi and Spencer from work. We are passing around odd looking vaporizers filled with weed. I hear the song "Just What I Am" by Cudi playing. Some of these look like parts from work and I gain lucidity for longer than a few seconds. I think that I had some goal in mind but I can't recall it. Not know what else to do, I decide dream weed might really be interesting. I ask Spencer for a really big hit but both men seem hesitant. I also have to pry the strange vaporizer from Spencer's hand. I take a long deep hit and let it out. I am surprised how little vapor I see exhale. Almost immediately I have a deep psychedelic experience as the scene fades and swirls away. I say some mantra to remember to maintain lucidity as I let the dream change. It doesn't help.



I am standing in a kitchen with Bill Cosby and kids help cook a meal. There is talk about about meeting Claire Huxtable. The overall premise is that Clair is to be the new step mom. At some point this re-ignites lucidity and I am excited to summon Clair but the name I use is Chloe. I turn around and rush outside. It seems I was cooking in a small diner not the Cosby's kitchen. As I make my way outside the large glass pane windows, the dream starts to fade a bit but I fully expect to see Claire. I turn and see her standing there smiling at me. I take her hand and rub it for stability but it's not working. Darkness seeps in and her arm stretches into something inhuman and vanishes. There is brief void but I don't wake. Again, I am fooled by FA.



I am in the living room talking to my wife. I say to her, "I met Chloe Huxtable. And you know what? She's really nice."
My wife replies with a playful but sarcastic, "Uh yeaah." I wake up.

I felt this LD was weak and unfocused so I went ahead and did a caffeine WBTB. I don't recall anymore lucidity but I did have an eventful NLD.

Long story short... I was fighting a demon like I was John Constantine. I had a magical old woman with me and she was able to turn weak ordinary play weapons into something that would work against the demon. I found a cheap toy bow and around and with a "blessing" she turned it into a magical gold weapon. I find a piece of bamboo and it changes accordingly. I only injure the demon but now I see that its just a possessed old woman. The magical holy woman tells me that Jesus cares for all and want to bless this woman. I hold the possessed woman tightly and say things to cast out the demon. Part of me wonders if the demon is trying to trick me so I stay on guard as I speak the name of Jesus.

Today I slept throughout many shorter and longer phases, until this morning I actually became lucid in a dream, pretty much right at the start, used the nose pinch reality check.
I was in a long corridor, and as typical for my dreams the building style was rather unique, while I remember the feeling and the looks, I'm not really sure how to describe that. What can say though is that it was rather dark and there were green colors around, with light primarily coming through the ceiling from the outside at one end of the corridor. I also remember my girlfriend being behind one of the doors, but there was no real interaction. I stopped for a moment, and closely thought about what I should do now, and I came to all the right conclusions I long since had in real life, YES, FINALLY!
Well, I went through the corridor, I think away from the bright spot, into some kind of staircase room, there was a small window at the sloped ceiling which I wanted to open so I could fly outside where I would do my stuff.

Just that right here my friggin alarm rings, because of my apprenticeship, and it rips me out of the first all around promising lucid I had in 2 years. I can hardly express my anger in words, and I shall not try for the sake of keeping the cursing in bay.

(First dream) I don't remember.

(Second dream)
I was outside in the city about to cross the street. I was waiting for the right time and I think a girl passed by me so I crossed. Somehow I met a man who wanted me to try eating different things I think. Maybe it was a competition...I'm not really sure. After that I was at my house living room and my brother and cousin was there. I was laying on the couch seeing images of sword art online characters and the word wataoumote Episode 1 The kiss showed up in front of me. I think I heard Japanese music playing until I noticed there were people outside the window near the house. I tried to hide but I was too slow. A man came up to the window and took a picture of us and showed us the picture inside the camera. I saw us but we were mini people on motorcycles. My brother said maybe they could get us on TV. But i said maybe not cause they like perfect faces on TV, xD

(Third Dream)
I recall being on a small platform high in the sky that was high in the sky. Disney XD characters were there and the star from kickin it fell off it. I tried pulling him up but I gave up on him and let him fall. Anyways... the platform went down and I slid down the slide. I was now in a park where half people sized colorful teddy bears were fighting people. I ran up to one and tore off its arm. Than I used it to hit the other teddy's head off. It was fun and funny to see what was happening. I told others to do what I did but as I was walking I left the scene. I was now in my kitchen with my cousins and younger brother. There was a boy sitting on the counter staring at my cousin cause he wanted to have it with her. I got mad but when I noticed my brother I hugged him and was happy again. I left the kitchen after that cause my sister came and she brought cookies. I ate 3 and than my cousin said she was leaving. I was surprised she was leaving and in the dark too cause she lives with us now. But I said OK and suddenly the scene changed. I was now in a house that was bright but was somewhat similar to my house. There were doctors and military police officers sitting on the table trying to get info out my dad. I was shocked. One of the men told my dad to pull out a camera laptop that was hidden under the couch. I left the place to let them take care of their buisiness only to find my parakeets missing from their cage. I screamed at my dad and everyone to tell me what happened. Especially since I saw the windows were open. However when I went to the bathroom they were there in a dirty cage. I took out their dirty water cup to wash it but stopped cause my cousin shouted that my dad was having a heart attack. My other cousin was mad cause she said I shouldn't have been told that. I was praying my dad would be OK as I walked to the crowd of doctors and military police officers and saw my dad sit up. The crowd of experts said he would be OK. I was really happy and thought that there was really someone looking out for me. But I also was confused cause in the dream my dad looked way older like in the 60s maybe. After that I left the living room to wash the cup but noticed I was naked with poorfy hair. DX I told my cousins to stop following and staring at me but they said they were girls too so It shouldn't be a problem. I went into a room and lost them but another girl came in naked so I screamed and told her to get out. She apologized for freaking me out than left. I started thinking about anime to change the scenery and appeared in a room with my mom and other ladys who were customizing Japanese game characters. I pointed to the screen to show my mom how I could read the hiragana but not the kanji. One word was maiagarou. She said why would you- to me after I said that and I woke up. I think the dream cut her sentence off.

(Fourth dream)
I was trying to stop a boy from killing his sister. I tried flooding the house but I don't think it worked. Later in the dream I had a false awakening where my sister woke me up and offered me cookies. I checked the calendar after that than noticed some messages on it than woke up.

Dream - Lucid

My grandpa was still alive, but he knew he didn't have much time left. I was with him, my mom, and my aunt Marge, though I feel as if there were more people there too. They were all very sad about him dying, but he was at peace with it, and was trying to make the most of his last moments.

I was then somewhere else, though the situation had not changed. I opened a door, and saw my grandpa sitting in a chair at the head of a table. His hair appeared different than it ever was IWL, with streaks of red, some blonde and maybe brown as well, though the red is what I really remember. I then caught a quick glimpse of my mom and aunt, who were sad and not wanting him to go. I feel like they were asking him, pleading with him not to die. He looked at peace.

My aunt Marge closed to door. I wasn't supposed to be there for some reason.

~

I was at my old job, which was a department store. It was nighttime. I was in the building with a few other associates.

I was over by the women's fitting rooms, when I saw some lava leaking from a crack that it had caused in the wall. I remember going back to it a little later, and more was coming out. I started trying to cover it with clothing, but, of course, the clothing just caught fire and burned up. I felt as if we were trapped.

I then had another idea. I went to another fitting room with another associate, and we started looking for fire retardant clothing. We looked through lots of packaged pajama sets that normally the store receives around Christmas. I went through lots of red ones. Then, a supervisor, Charles, came up to us.
"Those aren't going to work," he said.
I imagined the fitting rooms slowly filling with lava.

Someone went back in the fitting rooms a little later to get something, and I was surprised when they came back out, because some time had passed, and I figured it was filled with lava by now.

Then, I was close to the front of the store by the doors, when Ashley, another associate and my IWL friend, came back in. I asked her if there was a way out, and she said no, there wasn't. I imagined it outside, us surrounded by lava or erupting volcanoes. I knew we were doomed to die in the building. We all knew.

I then approached Jaime, a manager, and asked her if she had anything strong we could take. If we were gonna die slowly, may as well not be able to feel anything. She took a silver package of these big pills out of her purse. They were Percoset, a strong pain killer (never taken them IWL). She gave one to me, one to Ashley, and took one for herself. The pill was wrapped in another piece of plastic besides the silver packaging, but it was supposed to dissolve when you took it. I put it in my mouth to swallow it. It immediately tasted very bitter. I tried to swallow it, but it was such a big pill, it was proving to be difficult. I really wanted the bitter taste out of my mouth. Before I swallowed it, I already started to feel the effects of the pill. I figured it was a fast-acting pill for those who were in major pain. I remember Jaime chewing her pill. I didn't understand how she could stand the bitter taste.

I woke up for a little bit, then went back to sleep, entering the same dream.

The pill was in full effect now, and I went to the bathroom to pee. I looked down at the tiled floor, and the designs on the white floor tiles appeared to be oscillating. Yeah, definitely feeling the pill. I stood up, and then, even though I did not feel the need to pee, I kept peeing. I peed a lot.

~

I was at the department store I used to work at again, setting up some display on the endcap of a register. It was almost Christmastime. I thought to myself that it seemed so soon for Christmas; it felt as if we had just had it. I remembered the year prior with my husband, who was then my fiance. It seemed like just yesterday.

Then, Ashley walked by. She was wearing a black maxi skirt that was slightly sheer, but only at the legs, and a black top. She said
"It's been a year, and I'm going to be possessive of you, _____, and _____." I can't remember what else she said besides me.
Apparently, Ashley was my wife. She had some issues about Christmas; something about the holiday made her feel insecure. I understood this, and was not upset by it. I just wanted her to be happy. I "remembered" kissing her, and thought about how I never thought I would marry a woman, and how my family never saw it coming either. But I loved Ashley; she was my wife.

I then "remembered" driving to see her the prior year on Christmas, and taking pictures of the road on my way and sending them to her. I remember one in particular of the interstate in front of me. I was in the far left lane, and there was a metal chain-link fence on the divider. I think a semi-truck was also in the picture.

~

I was walking through a city in the daytime. It was sunny out. It reminded me of a video game. I was with my husband, Dallas. The objective of the real-life game was to kill the governor. I had a shotgun on me.

Dallas and I split up at some point. I was walking the streets alone, searching for the governor. I feel like I encountered some people and talked to them, but I can't quite recall. I noticed my husband's absence, and wondered where he was.

I then approached a building and entered it. It was a library. I was standing in the huge foyer. There was a service desk in front of me, and behind it, glass windows looking into a room with computers and books. The floors were dark wood, and the lighting was sort of a "mood" lighting, not too dim but just right. Immediately, I recognized this library as one from a dream I had years ago, and knew I was dreaming. The dream quality instantly started to suffer, so I concentrated on my hands so as not to lose lucidity. My hands were changing as I looked at them, turning into baby hands and sprouting extra fingers. I walked as I kept focus on them, and the dream seemed to stabalize.

I approached a young, tall, skinny girl standing at a podium. She looked to be in her early teens, and had dark hair pulled back into a ponytail.
"What's your name?" I inquired.
"Jaime," she responded.
"Jaime, are you a real person, or are you part of my mind?"
"Part of your mind," she responded with a smile. As she said this, she stepped out from behind the podium.

I then went somewhere else, up some stairs I believe, and into a very crowded hallway with a balcony overlooking the foyer. It was circular and stretched around the edges of the room. I approached a blonde boy, probably about the same age as Jaime, and found out his name was Josh. He didn't really seem happy. He reminded me of someone I met IWL at my old job. He had the same name as well. He looked similar too, though much younger. I was having trouble getting him to look at me in the eye. I took his shoulders in my hands and said something to him, though I can't remember what. I was trying to get him to see something.

I then was not sure what else to do with my lucidity. I didn't feel like I had much more time. I could not remember any goals I had prior to falling asleep. So I decided to do something I actually haven't done in a long time in my dreams: Fly. I took a running start, and people started to look, telling their friends to look because I was going to fly. I ran up and down the hallway a few times before I decided a running start wasn't the best way for me to do this. I leaned over the balcony. I saw all the people across from me on the other side of the hallway, and everyone below me in the foyer. I wasn't sure about this, since I had not done it in so long, but I let myself fall from the balcony. I then flew. Everyone was cheering me on. I was going very fast, however, and felt out of control of my speed, though I could rise and fall when I pleased; when I thought about going higher, I would, and when I thought about going lower, I would. I was just going so fast...

The cheers then started to slow way down, like when a record is slowed down. I had an FA in my bed. I kept my eyes closed for awhile, but finally decided to get up out of bed, because I was hearing what sounded like someone peeing, or water trickling into water. When I went to get up, however, I noticed that my feet were already touching the floor, as if I was half standing, and half laying down in my sleep. I got all the way up and walked down the hallway. I noticed my husband standing in the guest bathroom doorway. The lights were off in there. That's odd, I thought he went to work. I got closer and noticed his shorts were pulled down, and he was peeing. Is he sleep peeing?

Upon getting closer, I noticed he was peeing in my cat's water dish! My cat, Belle, was just standing there too, watching. I started getting really pissed at him (no pun intended), and yelled at him for doing that. I know that he and my cat don't really get along, but seriously?? I started yelling at him to stop, and asking him how he would feel if someone peed in his water. He said something smart-assy back to me. As I was raging, he started to walk away into the kitchen, which was much, much bigger than our IWL kitchen, which actually brought me to lucidity for a second, but I was so angry that I lost the lucidity in my rage. I noticed that the kitchen had chopped up potatoes all over it; the counters and every surface were covered. I knew he had done this just to spite me. I asked him if he was going to clean it up, and he shook his head no. I was so fucking angry. I went into the guest room, which also looked much different, and tried to slam the door, but the coat rack on the top prevented me from doing so (this does happen IWL). Ugh, I was so angry!

Then I woke up for real.

Ugh, I can't believe I couldn't remember what I wanted to do with my lucidity. Maybe another night. I'll just keep incubating my ideas, and hope that they come through into my dreams. Glad for the lucidity though! Woot woot!!

I've been getting a lot of low lucidity LDs lately, but this one had such awesome dream characters !

Lucidity: 6/10
Control: 5/10
Vivacity: 6/10

After going to a "party" in a big house in the campaign, I find myself standing near a small river, lucid. The house looks a lot like the one I've been sleeping in the last few days, but with more trees and with ivy on the walls.
There's a woman in front of me, she was the one who held the party. She also looks a looks a lot like the enemy's chief in my lucid dream "Fighting, Again".
I do a little bit of telekinesis on a guy sleeping on the floor.

"I took away your powers," the woman says.

"You didn't. You can't," I answer with a teasing voice, "this is a dream, I can control everything in it. Plus, I just used my powers just a few seconds ago."

I try to use telekinesis on her, but she can barely even feel it.

"I took your powers away," she says again.

I take a few steps forward, but she grows long claws and digs them into my neck.



Surprisingly, the pain isn't unbearable. She pulls the claws out and plants them back in, augmenting the pain a bit. I grab her arms but she grows claws on her toes as well, and she jumps to stab me in both shoulders.
F*ck !
One of her associate grows the same claws on his fingers and stabs me repetitively in the side and in my stomach, ripping my flesh apart.
I'm completely overwhelmed.
I'm trying to regain dream control, but it just doesn't work.
As my two enemies rip me apart, I see a man leaning out the house's window; he looks at me and shouts "You can do it! This is a dream, she didn't take your powers away, you still have them !"
When he says that I feel a huge boost of energy hit me, like he just freed me of a very strong hold.
I swing my hands to my sides, using a "burst of telekinesis" to violently throw the woman's ally and another guy (who just appeared there) away. I can feel the ground shake as I use telekinesis.
Then, I join both of my fists together and throw them in front of me; the woman shoots back, creating winds around her.
I look up at the window, the guys' smiling at me like "See ?"

(...)

I lost my lucidity, the woman and the two guys who were fighting me are in the sewers, fighting a rock Golem. One of the guys uses water bending to try and choke the Golem but he can't transform the water into ice, the woman says it's because the water is too dirty.

I have a long, meandering dream which ends with me being shot. As everything fades to black, I think with some frustration, "I hope my next dream is better." I become lucid.

I'm in a supermarket. I shout out "I'm lucid!" and start running down the aisle. I slap a 12-year-old kid in the back of the head for no reason, then slow down. I know if I get too excited, I'll lose lucidity. I look behind me and maybe apologize, but the kid doesn't bother me.

I try the "hand examination" method of dream stabilization and look at my hands. They're a mess. Three fingers on one hand, the other has fingers blinking in and out of existence. I keep focusing, trying to will them to become normal, but it doesn't happen. Soon, the dream fades to black. (Unsure if this was part of the same dream or an exit, or if it matters).

I find myself in the void and attempt to spin out of it. I spin slowly at first but nothing happens, so I decide to spin faster. I find myself in the kitchen of my childhood home, where the original long dream started. In the dream, I label this as a false awakening and think, "this makes sense because I tried to WILD from here."

I look at my hands again to stabilize. They're still a wreck but may look a little better. However, they're not returning to normal and I fear the dream will end soon.

Out of the corner of my eye I see a fish statue I recognize from my house, except here it's painted bright red. I decide to throw it through the family room window. I first do a nose-pinch RC to ensure I'm dreaming, and I am. I head towards the fish and wake up.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

From Wednesday, 7/9/14.

I'm in the air force and our CO takes us to another base. The CO there is insane. He orders ours to leave and forces us onto some kind of thrill-ride-like trainer, where he says we'll "do backspins until we pass out."

While on the ride, I'm reading notes on some folded paper. I finish just before the ride ends and note that it's actually pretty fun. I regret not being more aware for it. As we walk off, I'm headed towards the attendant and wonder if she'll let me ride again. "Of course she will," I think. "I'm dreaming."

I run up to her and announce "I'm having a lucid dream."

"I know," she says, sounding gleeful to be in on the secret.

I start rubbing my hands to stabilize, saying, "I'm rubbing my hands to stabilize the dream."

Then I decide to go exploring. I walk down a hallway with a black and white checked tile floor when my vision starts blurring, like my contacts are falling out. I stop and try to rub my hands again, but the blurring continues. I consider spinning, but decide against it, and soon the dream ends.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

I accidentaly left George Lopez on TV. The episode was a rerun from the previous night. I woke up, remembering that the TV was on, but then instead of getting out of bed, I thought "I'll know I'm dreaming know" so I went back to sleep. I forgot for a moment, then I realized it again. I went beast mode. I was walking through the town, then I thought to myself "These are NPCs, right? Therefore, it won't matter if they die." So I saw my perspective slowly lift into the air as mechanical sounds were made. All of a sudden, my body was enveloped into a metal chassis. Flamethrowers were hitched to my arms, and my tongue turned into a machine gun. I started torching the town, the pathetic NPCs cried for help and safety. I thought that it would be cool to take on extra terrestrial beings, so I summoned aliens. Ate the flashy ships. Then I thought after the town was crushed "let's take on a deity" So I cycled through a list of deities, Aries, mars, venus, Aphrodite, Cupid, Zeus, then it hit me. God. He caused the death of my trusted guinea pig, Max. I summoned him into the world in his true form; a spectral representation of a human being much bigger. I shot rockets at him, and he threw bolts of lightning at me. I dodged it in a bullet-time like matrix. I punched him as I valiantly cried out "This is for max!" Then proceeded to wake up. I had some "lumber" I had to "cut down" when I woke up in the morning, and here I am. Like a boss. yay
