lucid

I think I'm getting a "new" dream sign: gators and swamps. Last night I had a dream about getting lots of mosquito bites while getting chased by a smart gator (and making "jokes" about malaria). And the night before that I was rescuing baby elephants and hippos from another huge gator...
I had that "dream theme" a while back, it just comes in and out of my dreams.



Anyways... I had a fun (and sort of frustrating) dream last night:

I'm laying down on the floor in my father's apartment, I want to try and "WILD". My sister comes in and "wakes me up" and I get a little upset.
Eventually I start to enter the "second layer" dream, which is very unstable. I am still on the apartment's floor , dragging myself across the living room. I try to stabilize by doing telekinesis on a box (stupid me). I throw a clumsily-visualized fireball at the box, and use an equally clumsily-visualized "rasengan" on it.
I "wake up" again, but this time I'm in my (supposed) grandparent's living room. I got my feet and legs on a desk, my head resting on the floor (lol). I try to WILD again but my cousin comes in, and tells me that "we have to go." So, I walk out of the house and enter a car, to go somewhere in the Jungle.

Not once did I reality check

Had this lucid dream last night. The lucid dream itself was a little boring but the dream that proceed it was really fun. I was some kind of Jedi Night rescuing a landing party and I was flying around on a little personal saucer disk sitting on top of it. I think I became lucid while flying and then the dream changed, or the dream changed and then I become lucid. Anyway I'm now in a machine shop at a school. I know I'm dreaming and I start touching some of the machinery to stabilize the dream, but I didn't feel like I needed to as my lucidity felt so stable already. I left there and walked outside. Outside was like a courtyard to a big mall. Lots of people milling around. Oh ya, as I'm walking outside I realize I'm only wearing underwear, I think I've got to make some clothes appear. I'm thinking about how I've read people making things appear in their dreams on the forum. (It didn't occur to me to make the close appear on me, only to find them in the dream). I walk across the courtyard and I see my daughter pull up in a convertible. As I walk up she is handing a bundle of clothes to a guy that just walked up. I walk up grab the bundle of clothes and say "these are for me". I then see two pairs of pants and one is a corduroy and I say "but not these" and hand them to the guy. Then I recognize the guy from an earlier dream in which he was being an ass and so I punch him in the face. (??! Don't know where that came from). I pay no more attention to him or my daughter and walk off to go put my clothes on. I'm wondering what I should do in my lucid dream. I'm walking over to a bench and there's a big mall sign above. A women ask me if I know what time it is. I see a big digital clock on the sign but I'm thinking digital clocks are notoriously hard to read in a LD and so chuckling to myself I tell her "no I can't tell you what time it is". At this point I seem to have a lower level of lucidity for the rest of the dream as it changes a couple of times without my being conscious of it. Now I'm riding in the back of a car putting on my clothes. Others are in the back with me and we're talking. Once dressed I decide to freak them out and I jump out through the back doors (going through the closed doors), we were traveling fast, I'm standing up and skidding to a stop, but as I still don't have my shoes on I have to make myself float just above the pavement.

The dream changes again, now I'm on a train going up a mountain landscape. I'm bored trying to think of what to do. I start putting on my boots, lacing up the boots. I think maybe I'll fly into some caves in the mountain Then think I don't want to be in a dark place. Then I have the idea to go to my home town and do something there. I wonder how should I get there. I know flying would take to long. Then I think to do what I've read people do on the forum. I will make a door appear and step through the door to my home town. I'm wondering how I'm going to do that, still struggling with putting on these heavy lace up boots and thinking why did I conger up these stupid lace up boots! Just then I feel myself slipping into waking.

My Comments: The dream was a little boring because I couldn't think of anything to do. Oh, I actually did think of finding a women and having sex but decided against it. I can see I need to set some waking intentions to do something next time I'm lucid. Also wear some clothes!

So normally I wouldn't post such a short lucid but this one is mentionable.

I was in the kitchen in the morning, nothing like my own really and I was making breakfast. I was going to make muffins but was putting them in individual muffin tin things and placing each one on a burner, I want to say the burner was coming from the top but I cant be sure. I was concerned in the dream that the muffins would burn or catch fire. I kept adjusting the flames to make sure this didn't happen. I looked at them all when I finally got them all on and some were really disfigured and flat while others looked decent. After they were done (I assume) I was scraping stuff off a tray and was amazed that there was nothing left. It all just disappeared and there was only a few burnt pieces of stuff left, looked like small burnt onions. I showed my mother in law who was in the kitchen with me and said how weird it was nothing was left. I then started to peel a banana to eat and then went to an area in the kitchen where my grandmother in law was working at making something else. I picked up something she was using like a bag of sugar and it dumped everywhere, all over the floor and counter. I was told I didn't need to help pick it up but helped anyways. Someone said something about me being late to work and I needed to eat and then my mother in law said I needed to make sure I was awake or wake up better. This prompted me to do a RC and I did the finger check, as always I was amazed this was a dream and did it several times, I had some wobbly fingers and more than 5. Lucid: I went to a door and imagined a city street like the one I had been on in my previous dream, as i opened the door the dream was beginning to fade and as I began to wake a saw some sort of field.

This afternoon I took a nap with my daughter and actually had a dream I remembered, this doesn't usually happen when I have a nap so it was really different. I was with a couple others in a room and we were going to fight some others. I was telling a guy next to me, who was a kid, maybe my son that he had to protect others from someone who couldn't control their powers. It seemed like last airbenderish if you will. I was going to show him that I could throw fire balls and I wound up but nothing came out. I woke up shortly after.

7/7/14 Monday

Day off, so went for a WILD morning nap.

Last night bed 10 pm after marathon of Walking Dead ended. Woke up at 7:47am. WBTB till 9am. Breakfast, but no coffee.

WILDing from 9am - 9:55, when i got up to potty, as I normally do. By then I was already completely relaxed and on the verge of a lucid. I felt my head falling forward and I knew that's a signal of incoming lucid. I also felt top back part of head getting a bit cold, which is also a sign of a transition.

So when I went back on sofa after potty, I was super relaxed and got lucid almost immediatelly. I was falling asleep thinking of TOTM - eating junk food, taking an elevator and doing something fun with another member.

1.

Well ofc, I wanted to LD with OpheliaBlue so badly, so I was thinking of her. Very first place I end up in is a room with a counter and 2 girls standing behind it. I focus on the one on the left, because I know it's Ophelia. Same haircut, same face. I have no doubts. Suddenly I don't know what to do. I figure a handshake will confirm that she is really there, so I lean over and we shake hands. I'm happy, can't believe it's really happening. Dream fades away here.

Till I wake up 2 hrs later, I'm going in and out of lucids. Before, when I was WILDing like this, I had clear transitions, so I was able to count all the DEILDs and was aware of every transition.

But this is about 3. time, when it's just one long event. Sometimes I remember some transitions, but they are not vell defined.

This time I remember thinking "well, I'm not gonna wait for another dream, what if I just stand up now, before dream comes." And I stood up and was in a dream. I also counted fingers. I'm having this "let's not wait, I'm in a dream already" feeling more often lately, and I like it.


2.

Now I'm walking through a street fair. Place between the stalls is very narrow, barely wide enough for 2 people to pass. It's either underground, or there is a roof, and no windows. It's a common occurence for me. Having buildings without windows, or feel of being underground.

I remember the TOTM to eat something. I grab a corn chip from one of the stalls. They are just laying there in a wide and shallow basket, to be sampled. Taste is ok, but it's not crunchy anymore. I don't even finish that one chip. Next stall has some ham. Looks kinda like jerky, but not that dried. It's wraped, like banknotes are in the bank. I take one piece of ham from the one that's still wrapped. It tastes just like ham should. Nice and salty. This makes ham my most eaten food in a lucid. Dunno why, it's not my most favorite food.

I feel the urgency of other things to do so I wonder off. Dream fades.

I'm walking through yet another building. Normally i would be jumping out of first window, or clawing through the walls to get out of the building. But last time I think I got over this problem and consiously decided, that buildings and doors are ok and fun, and I should explore, instead of being scared.

So I'm opening doors, all optimistic, with smile on my face, decided that whatever is behind it, will by ok and fun and cool. Open the door into a smallish room, but the far end corners are in dark. it's all gloomy and I decide that this is not the best room to get over my fear of rooms. Thank god I have enough of whatever to back out.

Next place, I'm walking to another room from a hallway and I see something like airport or subway gates. Those things, where you wait in line to get through the security check, or where you put in the token and small gates swing open and let you in.

Someone is there right now and the machine dispenses a hoverboard. The person hops on it and they take off. I think that's something I could do. I know I'm in the future and I don't know how to operate this thing, but I'm eager to try it, no matter what. I walk up and I get a howerboard in shape of a smaller surfboard. I sit on it with my feet dangling and it takes off. It's white, with a red and green buttons, and something yellow, also some text.

So we take off slowly with a low hum of an electric engine. We turn left, and at the end of the lit tunnel is some kind of a gate. It's opened, and I think it's more of a marker, than a gate. Like "you can go fast from here". I wonder how to go faster, so I push the green button. The hoverboard starts to inflate more and I realize that's how yo control the speed.

Behind the end of the tunnel, I'm higher up over some more rooms.

I'm standing in the room. It has lots of high cabinets, color is gray, metal. There are some huge glass containers, with some human experiments in them. i'm not liking it, but not scared either.


Lots of walking through buildings.

#334 - DEILD - 4:31AM

I have to say this dream is really memorable for me. Inspired by Dreamer, I decide before hand that I would devote an entire lucid dream to learning pyrokinesis. Not only did I begin to see a breakthrough in something I have been struggling to learn but did something completely insane. The amount of pain that I felt tops any dream pain I have ever experienced. It wasn't intolerable but it was definitely uncomfortable. To compare it to waking like I'd have to say it was close to the feel of a slight oven burn a few seconds after the fact. I know it sounds slightly masochistic but I really enjoyed the sensations. It was fascinating how pain can be so realistic in the dream state. It makes me wonder what the limits are.

I have a strange work dream where they got a new wire cut machine. It's in the old facility and everything is arranged all wrong.

I wake, move around, stretch, cough and get comfortable. I feel pretty awake so this time I focus on breathing meditation and body relaxation. After a while I am back at work but too focused on breathing to be lucid. I am standing at a computer terminal and a DC tells me that I am breathing too fast. I see a window on the screen with the value '100'. I am able to edit, so I change it to '70'. My breathing slows way down and I become self aware again.

Now, I am in bed still focused on breathing. I have a little trouble with it like usual but I try to maintain while I relax my body. I realize I was waiting for vibrations but understand it's not going to happen this time. I do notice my body feels oddly flat, so I try to move and get out of bed easily.
I am in my childhood home in Texas. I'm getting pretty used to this location so I just treat it like normal and make my way outside while still focusing on breathing. When I reach the front door and decide I am too excited and let it go allowing my breath to speed up.

Outside, I decide to walk the streets while practicing my ultimate dream control wish; shoot fireballs from my hands. I thought about this some in waking life and had decided to use some energy practices from AP before hand. It doesn't seem to be doing anything, so I go with something I am more familiar with like throwing rocks. I blind summon softball sized stones and throw. I don't see them leaving my hand but I see them hitting the road and rolling away. It's a start, I suppose.

Now I try to move on to fire. I think of how easily Dreamer uses fire in her dream and how she says it's all about belief. I think of a cigarette lighters as I try starting a flame by snapping my fingers, but I am only getting sparks. Still, this is really encouraging and I continue for about a minute. Eventually, my fingers get twisted up and I can no longer snap. Rather than getting too caught up in the finger issue I try to think of another way to go about this.

I have been walking quite a bit and notice I have been walking my usual path to my old high school and have arrived without even really trying. We used to live really close so this never took very long even in waking life. As I take steps closer, the building morphs into the inside of the school cafeteria. I see a rack with small bags of Lay's Plain Potato Chips and something in the center with a flame like a pilot light. I get an excited idea to start my fireball by first setting my hand on fire "externally". When I touch the flame I feel a sharp, intense, constant pain. I loudly whisper, "SHIT! THAT HURTS!" Stubbornly, I keep my hand in a little longer. When I feel that the tips of my fingers are holding the flame I move it out and lift my hand up like a torch. The pain is still there but has lessened a little. I see cafeteria workers milling about in white uniforms in my peripheral vision. They don't seem to care that I am lighting my hand on fire and I mostly ignore them. After a moment, the flames seem to be dieing away and I look for the pilot light again. I find a pot boiling cut up potatoes but instead of steam rolling from the top I see fire. This time I put my entire right hand in. The pain is way more intense this time. It's probably the worst dream pain I've ever experienced. I just keep my hand in muttering, "Shit that hurt's."

After a satisfactory amount of time I withdraw my hand seeing it fully engulfed in flame. The pain is still really bad but I do my best to ignore it. I stare at my hand enjoying the beauty of the flame and doing my best to take in all the little details; I want a strong visual for when I actually summon fire later on. I enjoy the realness of the vivid colors; yellow and orange/red ending in blue. But most importantly, my flesh is unharmed in spite of how bad it hurts. It almost looks like really good, but really bad CG. I begin to think about trying to shoot flames or fireballs but before I can try it the dream fades and I return my physical body awareness.

(First dream) I forgot the first part so I'll just say the part I remember. I was in a large mall, hall or school and there were lots of teens around. I remember drawing for a college thing and a guy told me I should have went to the art school and shown them how good I draw. I was thinking about how I should have and than my cousins came up to me. We were going to leave together but I asked my cousin to bring back a book to the library for me. She said okay than I continued walking until I noticed I was bleeding under my feet. I also saw a old highschool friend who had a clone in the dream. I heard her ask where the whip cream was and thought about it in a negative way I ran out the room to a big place where a man was taunting people cause he had a lot of quarters in his bucket. It was getting really random so I left and almost bumped into a old neighbor who said he would destroy me if I didn't get out of his way. I left and saw a boy screaming at his brother who kept slamming the door outside. I asked the boy why he would think slamming the door is Ok and his brother asked me why I was asking that. I said so he can see the reason behind his pointless action. Than the guy said something about how toothpaste is toxic if you eat too much of it and the dream stopped. Made a broken beep sound before it ended too. XD

(Second dream)
Me and my family went to a place and got doughnuts. Looked like a 12 dozen box from Dunkin doughnuts or that other doughnut shop. I was saving my doughnut and hanging out with my younger bro after we got back. After a while they dissapeared and out of no where as i was walking to another room a girl crashed into the dream and started hitting me.I kept telling her wait wait wait on the bed as she was hitting me. She stopped than looked at my hands after saying wait a minute like she was surprised to see something. To my surprise there was a huge gold ring on my middle finger and a huge silver one on my second finger on my right hand. I was like woah and tried to move but I couldn't. So I asked the girl if I could ride on her back to the living room and she said OK. When we got there she was observing the room and I noticed the doughnuts on the table. I was mad cause I thought someone ate my doughnut but I found it on the kitchen counter and was happy and ate a piece. After that the dream changed and I was next to kids who were Christians and getting a video of them taken. Someone told me to move in and I did but woke up.

(Third Dream)
I had a dream it was night and I was sleeping. My mom came to tuck me in and told me my bro had two headaches and one wouldn't go away. I said OK thinking it was cause he broke a light bulb with his head two days ago. Even though he didn't get cut and it broke on the floor. I ended up reappearing on the bed after that than tried to go to sleep. I ended up getting a telepathic thought of a guy who was telling me something deep. He said it like this. "I have a daughter and a wife but my wife allways laughs when I tell her i die or bleed in my dreams. I always end up feeling left out and sad and he said some other things I don't recall. The last thing he said was when he watches movies he feels nothing from them. Something like that.

(Fourth Dream)
I appeared in my house, downstairs lucid and felt like I was in a spirit form. I got scared a angel was in front of me but I couldn't see them so I kept moving back than went to the other room. I told it not to touch me cause it freaked me out. As I left into the hall it came behind me and held both my arms up to the side(looked like It was going to make me hug someone xD)and started to move with me.I got scared I was going to be shown a future vision. It showed me through the hall into the space near the boiler room and where my dog sleeps. There were metal boxes there with things in them. I saw my dad pass by telling my dog to go into the yard. That's when the spirit pulled out a white chapter book with the name HEINZ on it. We communicated through mind and whisper talking. When I saw the word Heinz I got the message the book thief from it. Than I thought phineas and ferb. It opened to a page where it showed me a picture/drawing. I thought it was a child laying on the floor but I couldn't really tell. It was blurry to me. After that I thought Germany natzi. Cause Heinz is a German name and the book thief is about Germany. I even thought of Elie wisel. The person closed the book after that and I appeared in my bed unable to move. The person was holding me with my arms open behind me on my bed and whispered things to me. The only thing I recall it saying was you are a valuable person. Than I woke up after that. I was thinking of the rings, my dream guide and different emotions that were conveyed in my dream before the fourth dream. Thought about Heinz ketchup, Heinz disease for dogs or a Heinz natzi from germany when I looked it up. I don't know what to gather from that experience. :/

Well, it's a good start.

As The Venom Flows Through (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Cheyenne is holding an incredibly beautiful snake, which has coiled itself around her body and is reaching out to regard me at eye level. I've never seen a snake quite like this, but I can tell from its eyes that it is venomous. "Be careful not to let it bite you," I tell Cheyenne. For now, it seems more focused on biting me. I am just within the line of danger, but I manage to dodge its strikes. I decide its best to step back.

When I do, the snake loses its one distraction and notices the warm, living body that it is coiled around. It turns around slowly and deliberately to glare at Cheyenne, before latching on to her neck.

Now I'm practically dragging her through the woods, screaming for help as the venom takes hold of my poor friend. First, she simply begins to act a little loopy. But soon her veins are bulging black from her skin while her lips turn a deathly shade of blue. A green liquid leaks from her temples, running down her face.

I barely get her to help in time to rescue her.

This is hugely symbolic of a situation that occured IRL.

Onward To Hell (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

College is in session once more, and I'm entering into the cafeteria for the first time since summer break. When I get to the place where I'm supposed to scan my card, I struggle to remove it from my new wallet. I apologize to the cashier for the delay. He hands me some kind of scholarship form from a different college and says I must fill it out before I can eat.

This form is impossible! The directions the man gives me make absolutely no sense, and the sections I'm supposed to fill out keep disappearing and changing order. Plus, some of the answers I've already written are nonsensical when I go back over them. It slowly dawns on me that I have to be dreaming.

"Screw this!" I yell, slamming my pen down before the now bewildered man. I storm off, phasing effortlessly through the glass door and entering a neighborhood similar to my grandmother's.

I suddenly recall my task of going to Hell to find out what the Devil wants with my high school ring.

It is a rather cloudy day; the sky is dark with a reddish, rusty tint. I smile to myself. "What a perfect day to visit Hell," I chuckle.

I remember that first I must summon Dreamer, so I call for her a few times. When that doesn't work, I make the decision that she's going to be in one of the nearby houses. I walk towards one, clapping and rubbing my hands together as I walk because the dream has taken on a surreal, old movie quality and I keep nearly losing my vision altogether.

When I ascend the steps, I lose the dream completely and am pulled into the black void of sleep paralysis.

"No biggy," I think, "I'll just turn this into a DEILD."

I succeed in the dream part, but lose the 'ILD' in the belief that I've actually woken up. I check the time. 8:44. That's well after my alarm should have gone off! I'm going to be late to work!

I run off to get ready, only to wake up for real when my alarm goes off at its normal time.

Interestingly, after I've actually gotten going and mostly ready, I check the time at exactly 8:44. For real this time.

I literally just woke up from this dream, so there's no better time to journal it than now! This was another dream of mine where a Shootout occurs, which is a common thing for some reason, and I become lucid and fail to complete the task.

I dream I am in the inner city. There is a massive battle taking place, gunfire being exchanged all over the place. I am a part of the battle, dressed from head to toe in gear. I have a SCAR-H in my hands, and a Desert Eagle in a holster as backup. My team is deployed right into the heat, and shots are fired as soon as we hit ground. I return fire alongside my teammates, taking down several insurgents right away. We couldn't have been dropped in a worse spot than we were. The fight rages on, and my team is struggling to get anywhere. We are stuck in the spot we've been deployed, pinned down by excessive enemy fire. My teammates are starting to go down all around me, and I decide it's time to get aggressive. I run out from my cover now and sprint towards another thing of cover. I shoot someone along the way. I continue doing this, running out and risking my life to take out as many enemies as possible. Soon my SCAR-H runs out of ammo, and I pull out my Desert Eagle. I look around and realize I've run too far ahead of my team, and I'm mixed in with the enemies now. Enemies are all around me, and they're converging on my position. Some of them unknowingly run past me, unaware of my presence. So I shoot them down and move along to try and stay hidden. This intense game of cat and mouse continues until I realize I've only got three more bullets left in my Deagle. There seems to be a distinct lack of gunfire now, so I think it's safe to move. I walk out of my cover and begin scouting around the area for ammo that I can use in my guns. I come across a crater near where my team deployed, and there's a white van sitting halfway in the crater. Two more soldiers are passing by, and I kill them. I look around more, and I see that I'm the only one left standing. All of my teammates are dead now. I scan the area some more, and I run across an ammo box. I load up both of my guns and prepare to head out again. I start jogging towards an alleyway in the decimated city and see a couple more insurgents coming. I aim and shoot them quickly before they can return fire. I continue to walk cautiously, and I take a detour through a destroyed building. I look at the contents on a table in the building, a few useless items and a video game(I think it was Bioshock if my memory serves me right). I set the disc down after observing it and I start walking up the stairs nearby. As I'm walking up the stairs I begun to question everything that's going on, and I plug my nose shut. I try to breathe, and air is flowing in and out of my nostrils. I become lucid, and immediately drop everything. I know I need to do the task of the month now. I go back downstairs and stand at the door. I decide to get naked(this is a part of a task, trust me). It'll be easy to get this part out of the way so I can mix it into the other tasks. I pull off all of my gear and then pull down my pants and boxers. After I do so, I do the hand check, being absolutely sure this isn't a dream before I do something like this. I look at my hands, and I think it was my right hand, not sure, but there was a very small and thin nub in between a couple of my fingers. I'm freaked out by this and shake my hand in a disgusted way. I then proceed to pull my shirt over my head, and because I closed my eyes I awoke. God damn it. I can't close or cover my eyes in lucids or I'll wake up.

Game plan next time: Rip the shirt off.

I finally broke my dry spell a few nights ago, sadly I barely any of my dream. The only part I recall is doing a reality check by looking at my hands. My left hand was very disfigured, and I became lucid. I sadly don't remember anything else after that...but hey, I broke a near two month long dry spell!

(First Dream) It was soooo hard to sleep with the fire works so I don't recall a lot of the dreams. But I recall appearing in a supermarket and going shopping but I was in the form of a spirit. I got scared someone would spot me so I tried to appear somewhere else. Instead I got in sleep paralysis and randomly I thought about a boy on the news who died at a park. I saw a image of a park and candles and got scared he would appear in my dream so I tried moving. Eventually I relaxed myself and saw myself in front of a door. I opened it and appeared in a house with white walls. I walked up the stairs into a room that looked like a office where you could see it was night turning into day. I could see stores, people at a bus stop and a few tombstones on a grass near the building.A spirit of a girl with a black hoodie,grey skirt and orange or blondish brown hair came behind me and breathed on me. I grabbed her and pushed her onto the floor. I saw a black cat outside on the window sill and tried to go through the window. But the girl pulled me back inside. She seemed slow but I woke up after a few seconds passed.

(Second dream)
I was in the city running around about to take the bus. A boy spotted me and I flew into the sky. He asked his friends where I went but I just kept flying. As I flew i appeared in a really vivid world that was anime style. I saw i was in the middle of a ocean on a ship but I was really small. Like doll size. I was holding onto a metal thing above the ship and i saw a anime girl. But her head was huge and she looked almost like a chibi. I called out to her and I said hi. I ran a bit and saw that in the ocean there were waterfalls. Small ones that looked like it led somewhere below. Maybe into a whirl pool. I jumped off the ship and called to one of the 5 anime characters who were on mini motor boats on the water. I fell in the water and cried for help. One of them came and saved me. The waves were pretty tough. The person told me to hold on tight. I tried but the wind was so harsh I was blown into the sky. I saw them going far and I cried for help as I floated in the sky. Someone came back for me and as I was viewing the rest of the beautiful scenery and their cool large heads I woke up.

Today's Dream

I recall having a lame dream at first. The last dream I had I was lucid so it was better. I don't even remember my first dream so I'll just write down the last one. I appeared in my house and walked to the living room to see a small boy from TV sitting on the couch. I asked him where Dawn was and if he was a bad guy. The boy told me he wasn't, he was planning to make me his future wife. I was like what!? I doubt it, he's probably just using that as a lie. Than out of no where a DC ran really fast into the living room. I thought it was Dawn in another form but maybe not. He was cute though. I told him I probably won't remember how he looks like when I wake up. I walked out the first door and he opened it for me. Too my surprise my porch was gone and all I saw was the sand and the large ocean in front of me. There were ducks and people jumping and sinking into the water.That's when I notice the water was rising. I tried jumping and climbing the wall than just jumped into the house.I asked the DC what was his name and he told me something like forest stash. I couldn't really hear him, he told me it will make sense if I type it on a search engine. I was confused but than he took me to my bro's room.On the computer was maple story and he asked me what color hair would I like. It was pretty random and I wanted to ask him another question. I asked what his e mail was and he told me than started telling me things in Japanese. I wrote it on paper but noticed it was dissapearing and I forgot everything he said.I kept asking for his email again but he kept telling me it was too long for me to remember. After that I appeared in the room alone. I went to the bathroom and saw a machine that changed the color of the lights. I decided after that I wanted to wake up. Which I did after going into a room and laying on a bed.

I remember the end of my first dream now. I was trying to get home with my dad and family in a car. My dad drove around the block three times till he stopped in front of the house. There I saw a boy cousin who I don't talk much to inviting me and my bro to have dinner at a restaurant. I said no but he kept insisting so we went. There I ordered turkey and the other thing on the menu was labrythyn. Which was crab or fish sperm according to the waitress. I woke up after eating some turkey.

So like how my many LDs start, I'm in my house walking, and then I do a nose RC, become lucid and I start walking to my fav spot in the LDs I have, my livingroom, I start showing my uncle me jumping and touching the top of the ceiling, my auntie was looking too, my uncle said I can reach it, I was like whatever haha, on my way to the kitchen, I was thinking of everything I can, I wanted to do the hand RC again so I did it, my hand was kinda blue, it worked, so I started jumping like always and I thought of spawning someone so I did, I can't remember anymore so I'll list some of the stuff I remember
-rubbing my hands to make me stay in longer
-breaking a black plastic bag
-not talking for awhile and being bored, continued jumping
Good thing I stayed up all night, I wouldn't of gotten this lucid,

I also tried thinking of ToTM and all that, but couldn't, I think I was most lucid in that one that the others.

#333 - DEILD - 4:11AM

The LDs have been slowing down lately so I was really happy to have such an interesting journey even if it was a little short.

I have a dream where I am pooping in a bed with a toilet and trying to wipe without making a mess.

I wake and stay relaxed. I try focusing on a space in the room but its not doing much for me. I switch to focusing a few feet off my crown. After a few seconds I feel mild vibrations. I maintain my focus while contemplating if its go time or not. Suddenly, without any effort I am sucked through the wall at the head of the bed and float up several feet almost in a swinging motion. I have part of the sheets in my right hand and it seems to still be attached to the bed on one end. I let go and decide to practice my flying and hope to make it to another planet.

I notice it's daytime and the sky seems overcast and rainy. (Interestingly, It rained all morning here and I had no idea.)I rise up and look down at the houses but then my vision goes haywire. It's as if I am tossed around and spinning in flight. I see a mixture of ground, sky, and deep space overlaid with strange alchemist symbols. I don't get too caught up in making things look right but only focus on moving up faster and faster while I make swimming motions. My right hand brushes over something solid. It feels like maybe someone is there. I am mildly curious but I ignore it not wanting to get off track.

After a moment, things stabilize. I am in deep space with very few stars. I turn around and get a crystal clear view of a blue planet with three moons. I physically feel my eyes open wide and focus. The planet seems to be mostly water with just a few small continents or really large islands scattered about.

I focus on moving toward it and am drawn to it at ultra high speed. I see something like pixelated, 8-bit bubbles against the blue of the oceans as my vision briefly fades out. No worries.



I focus to see believing that I am now on the surface. In a split second, I see what looks like a beach but everything seems to be like an oil painting and very low resolution. The water and the sands seems to undulate and swirl but not mix like oil and water. I shout, "Does anyone live here?" I take in a 360 view of the area but its all the same. The scene fades out.

I am only partially awake as I recall the thing my hand touched while flying and decide to find it now. I mentally feel around me with both hands. My wife is on my left and I pinch her. She feels too soft and very...boneless. I stop and probe out to my right. It just feels like my bed extends way farther than it should. I start to wonder if I am really moving my arms and if I am actually awake or dreaming. I fall non lucid as I contemplate this.

I walk around a corner and catch Kristen Bell just before she enters a small room. I say, "Veronica!" I grab her at the waist and kiss her. The feel of her body against mine was vivid. My wife comes around the corner asking me what I am doing. I quickly let go of her and say, "nothing" as I walk away, leaving a very stunned and speechless celebrity standing alone.

The Stowaways (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am in my childhood home, heading toward the back of the house. I see a small person-like figure dart through my brother's old room and hide behind the dresser. I intend to check this out, but something catches my attention and I forget all about it until I witness the same thing later.

I call to my mom for backup as I slowly approach the dresser. What could be back there? Suddenly, a wild toddler springs out. He's screaming madly and trying to bite me. I yell in fright before attempting to restrain the crazy child, hauling him into my mom's room. Suddenly, I "remember" that this is my little brother. Apparently we all forgot that he exists, so he took to hiding in the walls like a rat.

But then--- plot twist! Another little boy shows up. Both boys are naked except for diapers, and I wonder how they've been using the bathroom all this time. This new boy is *actually* my forgotten little brother. The other one had simply found his way into the house somehow. My "actual" brother growls at the imposter and territorily chases him out of the house.

Lucid Distractions (DILD)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I suddenly have a terrible problem where saliva is pouring out from underneath my tongue like a fountain. As I run to the sink, I remember that this only ever happens in dreams. Still, the problem is so uncomfortable that I must find a way to make it stop before I carry on with the dream. I mistakenly believe that I once ended this by playing tennis, so I pretend that I'm playing tennis with my reflection to distract myself.

The distraction is too good. I forget I'm dreaming and lose the scene.

Suicide Mission (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

I am in a group of kids aged 9-14. We are our own little army, equip with all manner of firearms. My particular unit is about to go on a suicide mission to end a rogue band of drug dealers that have been threatening us for far too long. If we don't take them out, the younger ones will suffer for it. We each have a little packet of cyanide in case we get captured.

Our leader walks up to the door and counts to three. I assume that we're firing at whoever comes out the door, so I position myself beside the door and take aim. I assumed wrong.

When our leader knocks on the door, I realize she's setting up a fake drug deal to lure our victims into a false sense of security so that we can infiltrate their base and take them all out. Upon realizing this, I hastily try to put my gun away before I'm noticed. Too late. The drug dealer realizes he's being set up, and all hell breaks loose.

My leader yells at me amidst the fighting for screwing everything up. "I'm sorry!" I yell back. "You didn't explain the operation to me! How was I supposed to know!"

Demonology (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

After attempting to ride my bike back to campus and getting lost, I somehow end up being forced to help a demon regain power. I learn that new technology will burn the demon out of her host, so I attempt to burn her out with my cell phone. Her croney catches me before I can succeed. When I try the same tactic again later, she merely laughs at me. She had regained her full power by this point, and technology could no longer hurt her.

Pre-Bed
3mg Mel, 5 Htp
Bed at 1215 and sleep by 1245
WBTB at 430 for about 20 minutes
Activities: Read previous dream journals, do multiple RCs

I tossed and turned for a little bit when I went back to bed, I tried to WILD but was not successful. I had a couple other dreams on top of the lucids but wont log them here.

1. I just slightly remember this one which wasn't lucid but was noteworthy. I was talking to a couple other people who were sitting and we were discussing lucid dreaming. The idea of sexual relations in dreams came up and I said that is always too hard for me to do, I always wake up right away. Just thought it was pretty funny.

2. This dream is the blurriest of them all. I don't think I was with my daughter but I was at like a kids science center or kids museum or something for kids that was indoors. I ended up doing an RC and had multiple fingers. Lucid: I didn't feel stable at all and kept thinking about waking life. I did another RC and felt the floor and felt how the carpet felt then I felt the wall and it was rather rough. I never got incredibly stable. I decided to do the naked task but all of the DCs disappeared, I ended up getting my pants off I think and as I was doing this I was thinking of DCs being there and I was spinning in circles. Finally I saw an older guy and then a younger girl, before I could get to my shirt the dream faded and I woke.

3. I was at my house and I believe my wife was home. It began to rain outside and I remembered I had left some of my tools outside. I went outside where it was dark and then I slid my table saw under the overhangs of my house. I got a couple things picked up and then had to go to another area on the other side of the house to pick tools up. The water was starting to gather and I saw a bunch more tools on the ground. I want to saw a lawn mower, another saw and something else. I wanted to put these inside and at this point I think I had a moment of clarity and I did a RC, hands. Lucid: The rain had stopped and it was dark still. I wanted to look for a building for an elevator, i tried to imagine a city or building close to my house and tried to fly up. My first attempt was successful. I concentrated a little more on the flying and was able to take to the sky. As I elevated I started to think of my waking body and began to wake just as soon as I started seeing city lights behind my house.

4. This was my last, longest and most vivid. I was walking through a building, as I was passing I saw people looking inside and there was some smoke coming out from some of the rooms. This was an indoor area, maybe some small apartment type places but it was a narrow mall inside. Multiple people were standing out in the aisle, I could see wisps of smoke coming out. I had a feeling/knew that a fire had just been put out and they were trying to make sure nothing else was on fire. I got outside and I was on a city block, I did an RC for some reason (fingers). Lucid: I saw a tall building with blackened out windows across the street and knew there would be an elevator inside. As I headed across the street I decided to do the naked task at the same time since there was bound to be people in the building. I got my pants off as soon as I walked in the front door. I saw a bunch of DCs and they just looked at me. I really wante3d a reaction out of them but got nothing, just stared. There were several of them waiting in a central lobby and a receptionist when i went in. I really honed in on their faces but they just stared blankly. I was taking my shirt off at this point and also imagining an elevator as I turned the corner. I turned left a couple of times and there it was, a single elevator door which was silver and of course it was closed. The elevator was next to an area where they were cooking food, I had my shirt off but was still struggling to get it off my wrists, like there was some buttons that I needed to get off. But for all intensive purposes I was in the buff. I had managed to push the elevator button to call it down but it was on floor 27, so I thought I would be waiting for awhile. For some reason I woke as I was waiting for the elevator, I may have thought of waking life.

Next time I will be sure to picture an open elevator as I am rounding the corner.

Color legend: Non-dream Dream Lucid

Lucid #219: The Conga Convention

I’ve arrived for work at some kind of computer lab where we build or test hardware. Dreamer works here, too, and when I walk into the back room I find her interviewing a candidate, a young woman in her early to mid-20s. Dreamer’s in the middle of having the candidate assemble the scattered parts of a computer, so I decide not to bother them.

I return to the front room to find the door blocked with tables and computer parts. I figure that Dreamer moved all this stuff to make room for the interview but I’m confused as to how it all got here. The idea of lucid dreaming crosses my mind, so I try the nose pinch and I’m lucid. My breathing is clumsy and difficult, though, and I lose stability, falling into the void.

I rub my hands together and talk out loud to myself about lucid dreaming until a new scene forms where I’m walking through a large, nearly empty room with a few tables against the wall. I think this may be the office again and that Dreamer will be here, but there’s only one unfamiliar, dark-haired woman in her early 30s sitting at the table writing on a clipboard.

I walk through a door into a large, brightly lit convention hall, filled with DCs seated at round tables, most of them sitting in front of plates of nondescript convention food. I remember that I need to summon Dreamer for the challenge so I say, “That’s Dreamer right over there,” and turn my gaze to the right while doing this sweeping gesture with my hand. When I turn I see a tiny child (about a foot tall!) with purple hair standing between two of the tables. This mini-Dreamer giggles, hops up in the air, and scampers away. When she’s run about 20 feet, she disappears in a purple flash. Several of the DCs look at me in confusion.

This was not what I had in mind, so I circle the room for a while, rubbing my hands together and thinking about how I want to do this. Okay, new plan. I do a vague, sweeping gesture at several tables and say, “Ah, Dreamer, you’re sitting over here.” A very tall woman is hunched over at one of the nearby tables and I see that purple hair cascades all around her head, hiding her face. She’s covered in layers and layers of shawls, rags, and wraps to the point where she just looks like a big pile of rags and hair.

The enormous woman begins to stir, slowly unfolding herself to full height. When she finally draws herself up to full height, it’s Dreamer, but a seven-foot-tall (2.1336 meters ) version of herself draped in colorful, purple-hued cloth. She smiles and then walks past me before I can say anything else, vanishing behind me.

I’m getting agitated about these summons, so I decide to go for Task of the Month instead. All I can remember is the “get naked” task, so off comes the shirt. Next I whip my pants down, but they get stuck around my shins like I’ve gotten sweaty or something. I get a little annoyed by this and simply will myself to be de-pantsed. Should have thought of that first!

The problem is that none of the DCs are taking notice that I’m in my birthday suit! I throw in a few booty-shaking dance moves, hoping for more of a reaction, and now the DCs start picking up on it. They start getting up from their tables, strip off their clothes (only down to underwear, interestingly) and start dancing as well. A big conga line starts forming to my left and after a moment the whole underwear-clad room is conga-ing around the entire place.

While all of this is going on, I just watch for a while. As I'm doing this, I experiment with looking away from dream characters and looking back to see how they change. They seem to mostly stay the same except some of the DCs seem to undergo slight changes in make-up or facial appearance. As I’m toying with this persistence trick, an attractive blonde woman in her late 20s drapes her arms around my neck and kisses me.

Spoiler for Awkwardness:

She tells me that she wants sex, and what do you know? Apparently I do too. But when she removes her undies, her entire body is made of some kind of smooth, rubberized plastic like a life-sized Barbie doll. She positions herself seductively, but the doll effect is so unbelievably off-putting that I decide to just wander to some other part of the room and pretend all of this never happened.

The conga line dies down and I seem to be dressed again. The DCs are all dressed and seem to be heading for the exit of the convention hall, and after a bit of wandering I decide to give the Dreamer summon another good shot. As I’m heading toward a double door, I pick one of the women at random and say, “Okay, there’s Dreamer…” One quick morph later and now I’ve finally got a proper, purple-haired, normal-heighted Dreamer walking toward me.

I give Dreamer a hug and start walking with her toward the exit, explaining out loud my plans for the dream. She nods and “uh-huh”s along but before we get to any of this, the dream fades out into a false awakening in an outdoor courtyard with a garden. There’s a woman in her late 40s with curly hair standing nearby and I tell her about the dream that I just had.

“I just had a lucid dream myself,” she responds. “I’m glad that one ended. It was getting strange. I think that REM cycle was all played out, so I’m up for the morning.”

“I’m going for more,” I tell her. “If you just wait long enough, there’s always another REM cycle.” She nods, pondering this. I wander the garden for a bit until the dream fades for good.
