lucid

A lucid dream from 2 nights ago.
In my opinion I had the perfect amount of control over the dream: not god-like, but enough to do some awesome stuff.
Also before you read the dream, I just want to let you know that I'm not a murderous d*ckead IRL. I'm actually really loving and peaceful

Lucidity: 7.5/10
Control: 7/10
Vivacity: 8/10

I'll skip the first part of the dream: it was just a normal day at school.
I'm walking back home from school in the streets of my hometown, back in France. I take a right on a narrow street when I realize that I forgot my bike. I find it on the corner of a street, attached to a pole. As I take my keys out and unlock my bike, I notice that the sun is especially big today; it's got these solar storm kinda things on it. There are also a bunch of shooting stars spelling my last name in the sky (lol).



I check reality without really but it doesn't work. My mom is waiting for me at a door just at my left. I enter the small apartment in which my whole family is eating dinner on a small table. I look through the window, curious about what is going on in the sky. My mom looks worried about it and I understand that she thinks the sun' radiations might overwhelm the Earth's magnetic field and kill us all. As I think about this, a star explodes in a supernova way too close to the Earth.
I know that the explosion will eventually hit the Earth and I start getting seriously worried, until I Check reality a Second time.
HOT DAMN THAT SCARED ME.
I take a few seconds to look at my hand a little more closely. Even though I only have four fingers, my hand still looks normal... weird.
I step outside rubbing my hands together and take a look at the sky again: I don't get many of these.
I look around for something to do, and fly up to a flat roof. I want to summon a beast.
I do the naruto hand signs, without really knowing who I want to summon. I slap my hand on the floor, and even though I can see the ink writings appear on the ground, no one appears.



Assuming it's because I didn't know what I wanted, I take a few seconds to stabilize the dream even more. There's a forest at my left and the sun is back to normal; it's shining in front of me. I take a few steps on the roof and turn around. This time, I got a good Idea of who I want to summon: the Nine Tails from Naruto (... I've been reading a lot of manga with the current Florida weather).



I quickly do the hand signs and punch my right hand to the ground... The ink writings progress from under my hand to form a cool symbol on the ground. I start to doubt myself after two seconds, but then I get propelled upwards by a crazy force. When I get my balance back I find myself standing on the giant beast, my feet digging into its dark orange fur. I run a few meters on its back, and front flip off of it. As I find my self upside down, time slows down to let me admire the beast's humongous face. He's growling, his red eyes looking straight at me. I finish my flip with a 180 right before I hit the floor.
Ok, now what?
I'm just standing here looking at this beast, I don't really know what to do with him. I decide to set him free and I jump off the roof onto the empty, narrow road. The place reminds me of where the cinema was at in my hometown.
I walk around a little bit, until I notice a video game inside a store's "display window".
A girl walks up to me and explains that she is the one who created the game.
The game's goals is to escape killer penguins by jumping into portals. I visualize the game, and when I snap out of it, I'm in a workshop, surrounded by these killer penguins. The ceiling is really high, and lots of penguins are standing on small cornices made out of the minecraft element "Iron".
The penguins rush at me from all sides.
I push my hands to my sides, using telekinesis to hold them back. I quickly release the tension in my arms and push again even harder, sending the first layer of penguins flying back. I notice that the ceiling is slowly moving down. It's a trap that the penguins set for me.
F*cking hell.
I try to use telekinesis on the ceiling as well, but I have to retain it with my right fist (I hurt my wrist IRL and I can't bend it).
It's not enough. I have to use both of my arms to hold it, and even then the ceiling is still advancing down.
I have an idea.
I push up with all my strength, sending the ceiling up a few centimeters. As the ceiling falls back down, I quickly do the hand signs from earlier, and slap my hand down on the ground, summoning the Titan form of Eren from Shingeki no Kyojin.



Somehow Eren gets rid of the ceiling (?), and I'm able to fly up in the air somewhat quickly. As I fly up, I raise my hands at the same height as my hips, my palms facing out. I use telekinesis to take down all the penguins on the cornices.

I land on on of the cornices. I look around and notice that there are some "coins" around me, forming different paths. I jump back down, collecting all the coins in the air like in a video game. When I land on the ground, all the penguins have disappeared, along with Eren.
There's a girl from one of my classes from school. I walk up to her and ask for any item. She pulls a piece of cake out of her bra (lol). I thank her and grab her boob, then walk away. The cake's got a brown crust but's its yellowish inside. I take my first bite. It's the first time I ever eat something in a dream... to be honest I was expecting a little more. I mean it tastes good but it could be much better.

I walk into another room, where there are lots of cutting machines and all that. It also appears to be a store. There are a few people walking around. I use telekinesis to push a few products onto the ground, triggering a guy's anger. I look at him for a second.
My fight from earlier made me feel real powerful.
For my defense, I was very lucid and knew nothing was real.
There's a guy in a weird plastic suit testing a machine. I hold my left hand to my side, palm up. I look at the guy in the suit and close my hand. His suit starts to condense rapidly, crushing the guy in it, who stops moving.
There's a cutting machine with a big blade attached to it (~1 meter in diameter). I use telekinesis to make the blade spin really fast, and then detach it from the machine.
The blade it levitating, I have small control over it. I clumsily move it toward a guy who's cutting wood, and the blade cuts straight through his arm. I can see that he's pretty horrified, and I decide to let him live. I move the blade to the left, but it's slowly hovering towards me. I bend backwards but the blade keeps moving and cuts deep inside my chest. I jerk my arms forwards and the blade shoots into a glass door and falls to the ground.
Surprisingly, I'm not feeling any pain. I am waking up though, and I am too slow to stabilize the dream.
I wake up.

non-dream dream semi-lucid lucid false awakening

I am looking through my bedroom window and notice that all the trees on the street are burnt. Then I see a thunderstorm moving away, but a lightning could not have burnt all those trees. I search the landscape for some clue and I see that instead of the regular houses that exist in my village, the hills are covered in green grass and lovely country houses, almost like the hobbit's shire. So I get lucid. Then thinking of what to do: fly outside the window, stay indoors? Then realizing: what outside? What indoors? So instead I turn “inwards” and all the images disappear. Instead I float in this blackness, splattered by an occasional shine like of distant stars. I just focus on the moment, the sensations, the absence of everything. Until I regain some sense of my body, by starting to feel a warmth n my second chakra. It grows and spreads out, energizing my entire body. It is in fact so much, that I feel the need to shoot out some through the palms of my hands. I get back to my home and I see my 3 cats approaching me curious. I shoot this energy towards them, wishing them many blessings. But they jump and run away as if they receive an electrical shock. Oh well, maybe it was too much for their little bodies

…
I am with a couple of friends and we go meet my teacher. He opens up a vintage drawer and shows us some items, like old photos and postcards, decorative objects, some older, some newer. He says they belonged to the great teacher J.K.W.R., but I feel that he is hiding part of the story. I look at each and every object and I know that some of them actually belonged to his consort, like a small wooden engraved box and an incredible sculpture of a baby in blue stone with his arms around a silver lion. I wonder if this is some kind of test. Try to memorize all the details of the objects.

It all started with a false awakening. My bedroom looked weird and I became suspicious at once. I had a look at the corridor and I knew something wasn't right, that had to be a dream. I went back to my bedroom and closed the door behind me. I did a nose-pinch RC, but I couldn't breathe through my nose. "This can't be possible, I'll try something else". The room was quite dark, so I put my left hand up towards the only source of light (the window) and I counted my fingers. Six in total. Okay, I'm dreaming. As I was heading for the door to leave the room, a fat man with a yellow T-shirt opened the door and jumped on me. My bed is quite close to the door, so he easily pinned me down to the bed, holding my wrists by my head. I quickly reacted and said "you are just a dream". My voice sounded very weird and it didn't make any effect on him, so I shouted "clarity now" twice (this seems to be the magic sentence for me to bring vividness and awareness to my dreams). I then closed my eyes to calm myself and decide how to deal with the situation. I am reading one of LaBerge's books and the chapter I'm in right now is about how to treat violent DCs. Since his advice is to approach them friendly knowing they can't hurt you instead of trying to flee from them or make them disappear, I did just that. I opened my eyes and told him: "this is a dream, so you can't hurt me". He looked surprised and let go of my wrists. Ideally, I would've tried to engage in some kind of conversation, but the dream transitioned into another one.

I then found myself walking into a very nice living room or dining room, sort of. Many things in it were made of wood, including a table at which three people were sitting in silence. It looked like a fairytale house, and the whole setting was brigther than the first dream. Still lucid, I went near one of the round windows and looked outside, to see other fairytale-looking houses surrounded with flowers, trees and grass. The colours were extremely vivid. I then went to the table and sat down with those people. I was curious as to what level of lucidity I might be experiencing, so I asked the DCs to see how they reacted: "I'm very curious, were you guys already here before I entered the dream or did we all appear at the same time?". A girl answered me: "since this is your dream, you created it all at the same time, the fact that we were already sitting here is because you appeared outside the room and then came in". Nice, high level of awareness, I thought. I then sensed the dream was about to change again, despite there weren't any vibrations or anything. I wanted to keep lucid, so I focused on this.

The transition was neat. I was at a street walking with my boyfriend. I wanted to know if I was still in a high level of awareness (for some reason, I seemed obsessed with this, maybe because I had never experienced transitions like these before). I thought of how to approach him properly and I finally said "hey, do you know this is a dream?". He looked around surprised and said "I didn't know... but it could be, I guess". Before I could word anything else, he proceeded: "and you, have you ever thought that in waking life you could be part of a big dream and unaware of it?". "Yes, I have", I told him. In fact, I've been toying with the idea of the so-called 'collective consciousness' for a while, so he basically voiced my thoughts. I wish this conversation would've gone on for a bit longer, but I transitioned into another dream and finally lost lucidity.

It was a pretty interesting experience. Specially because these last two weeks my dream recall has fluctuated quite a lot and I haven't once come close to lucidity. Yesterday night, I did a WBTB along with SSILD without results. Today, I involuntarily woke up at the same time the alarm had gone off the day before (very like me). It was the early hours of the morning and I had a hard time falling back asleep, so I just watched my breating to have something to focus on (this helps me with my insomnia sometimes). So, Breating Induced Lucid Dream, maybe? (Does that even exist?)

Well, regardless, I'm very happy to have been able to have such an experience. Looking forward to the next.

I have been really out of this whole thing for a while, but I recently had a few lucids that I am going to jot down very briefly. I have forgotten most of these, but they were all really long, so I was happy with all of them.

#71

I was trying to strip a girl. At this point in the dream she was like a manikin from the waist down. She had no torso.

I was trying to get her pants off, but she had layer after layer of jeans on. I really can't remember what ended up happening.

#72

I ate a girl out well. I had a nice mouthful of her vagina until I started getting hair in my mouth. Eventually I started eating her ass.

#73

I flew up. I didn't want to get heavy, so I focused above me and just flew. I made it to the top of the tree line. It was night time.

I ended up seeing a man. I started to fly. I asked him if he knew how I did it. He didn't answer. I asked him if he knew something about the logical part of your mind being off when...?

He responded, A tornado! (how I was flying)
Another DC told him, "You would know if there was a tornado!"

I finally said, "I'm dre-eaming! I'm lucid dreaming!"

The End


Each of these dreams were much longer than the salient points I can remember. I enjoyed all of them quite a bit, and I'm really happy to have some success again.

I did a WBTB after 4 hours of sleep at about 2:30 in the morning. I woke up after this dream at about 5:15 or so and didn't remember a dream before it, so I'm going to try WBTB again a little later. This was my most vivid lucid dream I've had so far.


I'm at my house and it was early in the morning. My stepmom was going to the store so I went with here. While she was filling up the car with gas, I went in to a coffee shop to get some food. I ordered a crossoint? with cream cheese. It took a really long time because the workers kept asking me questions about it. There were a ton of people in line, but the cashier kept bothering me about getting a rewards card. Eventually, I just said no and left. My stepmom was still doing stuff so I guess I walked home and went to my room. It was pretty dark. I played on my computer for a bit, then decided to go downstairs because it was too dark. As I was going down the stars, my pants belt loop got stuck on the railing and I couldn't move. I started freaking out because it was dark and I got scared, but I was able to get my pants off and run downstairs.

As I was running to the garage, I realized this couldn't be happening. My pants wouldn't have gotten stuck and I wouldn't have freaked out that much normally, so I did a RC to confirm I was dreaming. I went over to my sliding glass door out-of-breath, and I told myself there wasn't actually anything to worry about because it was just a dream. I actually started laughing about it. I decided to try and summon something, so I said something (don't remember what) was behind me and I turned around and it was there. Then, I went outside and tried to summon a guitar for some reason, but it didn't work.

There were no DCs around, and I wanted to do some ToTM challenges. I decided I would fly over to the nearest city to find some people. At first, I just tried jumping with the intent of flying, but I just floated up a little bit and then came back down. I tried to jump and yell fly, and I went higher, but I still came back down. Frustrated, I had an idea. I said out loud, "Well, these rocks here have powers and if I eat them I will be able to fly." I reached down and grabbed some small rocks and put them in my mouth. At first I was a bit skeptical, but then when I bit down the rocks came apart easily and dissolved in my mouth. They didn't taste like anything. I tried to fly again, and this time I went above the trees, but then I got stuck floating there. I saw a bird flying around and making noises and for some reason I thought that would work for the ToTM, so I repeated its tweets back to it. After, I woke up

Ha!
It rained meteors last night! With damage!!



After I first got lucid, in a building, I had to go up stairs to get out. So I flew up them, maybe 30 cm above the floor - and the quality was soo great - super-realistic.
I touched and tasted things - the carpet on these stairs, the metal-rods, which were proper cool and I even licked them. All great - until a guy comes flying down the stairs in the opposite direction. I knew, I should better not look at him - but I did - and so forth.
So I needed a DEILD, but this worked great - I just looked at the back of my eyelids and waited, till a dream came back optically.
I had even moved about a bit - worked anyway. Then I imagined swimming motions - and flupp - I was back in.

Being outside already - I took aim at a high lamp-post, and wrapped myself around it, not to be on the ground for the following action.
It was night - I looked at the sky and commanded meteors - goddess-style - METEORS ARE COMING DOWN NOW !!
First I thought nothing happens, but after a couple of seconds - I saw the first one.
Then came more. All fiery balls speeding down without a sound and with the impact sites out of my sight.
Next to my pole was a swimming-pool, and I wanted one in there - this somehow didn't happen.
There was a telephone on the mast I clung to - and on a whim I took up the receiver and sung into it.
Yepp - I found it sounded great - and the apparatus seemed to work as superb amplifier - that went on for a bit - I really liked my voice...
But then I remembered, that I need to inspect the impact sites.
So I flew to where I had seen earth being spat up in the sky from afar.
What I found was a longish hole in a garden, maybe some eight by two meters, and about three meters deep.
Now I regret not having climbed down to retrieve the meteor and marvel at it. Na well.
But the owner of the place came out of his house, lamenting about how he had just put out seeds for new flowers...

I woke up around half four with a vague memory that I had dreamed, so I paused to think about it and remembered that I had become lucid and was walking through a sunny scene. I remembered that I wanted to try out as many RCs as I could remember. I tried to push my fingers through the palm of me left hand and it felt like walking life. I pushed harder and tried a twisting action. Eventually I managed to get half a finger through by wiggling.

That's it, about four seconds!

After that I decided to try WILDing but got memorable NLDs.

1. Playing tennis mixed doubles, our opponents make a tactical error by coming to our side of the net as I deliver a return. I congratulate my partner with a bottom spank. I note that that's not really appropriate but think that it would be OK if I was a girl, so I was. Then the idea of playing not-tennis excites me awake, boo! :-(

2. At a drama / history workshop, roleplaying with fake beards and moustaches, reliving some historic famine situation. I climb up a step valley side to the top of a cliff where I spot a mirage effect on one of the rocks. I shout down to some people at the bottom of the cliff and then reenact a daring rescue attempt of a girl stuck on the cliff face. Then I go back down to help tidy up the props.

Date: 06 June

Didn't plan to wbtb but woke up super alert and couldn't fall asleep for quite a while. Had to rush so left only key words and wrote the entry much later. Apart from that I can say that this was probably one of the longest lds I've had.

Ld: I appear on the street in a car, some guy nearby. For some reason I decide to think of my physical body and panic as not to wake myself [have been reading about this on the forum and got some sort of schema infection]. I try to ignore it and concentrate on the dream, get out of the car. On the street, I run into a chick with a black dress, try to kiss her for totm but wake up.

I wait for another dream.

LD: In an apartment with my mom (this dream lasts super long, I don't try to memorize the details though). Mostly spend it in the apartment, walking around and talking to mom, trying not to control or influence her. Very stable. Mom is talking like a normal person. I kiss her on the cheek for totm.

I examine the living room, the objects - wooden Mayan statues like the face of Pacal. Kids collectible toys on nearby shelves - I start to recognize them, false memories, they are mine. This place, I have been here before. I face mom and start questioning her about all this. She explains something about this being in the future and our new place.

What's interesting is that I feel super alert. I scan my awareness and I feel this wakefulness - very alert and just as if in real life. I think it's impossible to be dreaming this alert and yet I'm here. There's an Asian DC in place of mom now and a second DC next to her. I intensely question the first about the dream and place but she only smiles shyly. A moment later something happens super fast - there is some sort of an open box and the Asian woman disappears into it - like genie into a lamp sort of but vanishes to leave the empty open box. The other DC turns into some weird objects - it's hard to tell what they are, they turn to little plastic soldiers then transform into other plastic colorful objects.

I remember the meteor task and go to the window, stare at the sky to see a meteor form out of the nothingness. It then moves from the distance following a twisted trajectory, decelerates to fall in front of the window and into a shallow water that covers the street where it disintegrates. I'm a bit disappointed that there is no showy splash or damage, so repeat the process with two smaller meteorites that fall and dissolve in the same way.

The dream continues and I turn back to the apartment where I hang out more. I begin to feel possible lack of ability to stay here, so I go into the kitchen to drink a glass of refreshing cold water. This helps me feel better and focus. A moment later I decide to fully immense in living in this other place and have breakfast. My mom serves me some eggs, they weren't as delicious as I had hoped for but ok.

At some point my bf arrives, where we discuss the place and future but I lose lucidity.

The next part I recall is that we are strolling on the beach and I'm lucid again, reshaping the beach and calming down the waves.

My recall is completely fragmented at the end but after some more on and off lucidity I end up in a church watching DC wearing weird clothes.

(This may be a more boring entry, but maybe it gives some newbies an idea of some of the things you can run into)

6/12/14* wake up after about 5.5 hours of sleep needing to go to the bathroom and afterwards I do my SSILD cycles and I start to get HI's but fall asleep. Later I am having a dream where I am on the field after one of my games and the game after ours looks like a forfeit, perhaps not enough players. It seems like I'm very tired and I believe what happened is that I lay down on the field and went into an in-dream WILDing-like session where I immediately start getting strong HI's and vibrations which I start to play with including a woman on the field whose clothes I pull off with telekinesis and some motion based dream entry. I find myself in my bed (possible false awakening) but I can feel that I'm still fully in the dream world. I decide I should take off all my clothes and get into some mischievous activity. It feels like I am struggling with taking off my clothes and I start to worry a little bit about using my real waking life hands and possibly waking up or exposing myself
while sleeping. But I do get it together and take off my clothes and I'm hanging around the bed when I hear my wife coming up the stairs again and it reminds me of the false awakening last time and I remind myself "okay FA FA FA" (in other words don't get fooled by the false awakening-like scenario). My wife comes into the room and she's holding my laptop and it's on my email account and I get sidetracked from my lucidity for a moment concerned of what she might have read...perhaps some of my updates from dreamviews related to some of the crazy dream adventures I have which she may not like...But then I hear a song playing very clearly (later when I actually woke up I could hear music coming from my son's room but it wasn't where I could hear lyrics or anything whereas in the dream I was definitely hearing lyrics and a song that I seemed to recognize, all much more clearly than what I heard when I woke up). Anyway, I closed my laptop and looked out my window for the source of the sound and I could see some of my teammates outside getting ready for a game and my first thought was why am I not there, why are they playing without me but then I realize the scenario is highly unlikely, especially a game right outside my house...oh yeah this is still a dream this was a false awakening like scenario. I specifically remember "J" & "K" being out there and a little scene played where someone was asking J if he had ever been an ex-WAIF (unsure what this means) and a scene of J sitting at his current job with a desk full of papers. I think that I'm forgetting some details throughout this lengthy dream because I specifically remember thinking that this lucid dream is going fairly long. I find myself back in bed and I wonder if this is another false awakening but then I can feel my wife being amorous and I start to wake up for real. My lucidity level was obviously low throughout or I wouldn't have had such a hard time retaining it or remembering so much of it. Because of this I put the dream through Sageous' FLD test of proving lucidity to yourself and came up with the verdict that I was definitely lucid in spots. I tried to go back to sleep and got some HI's or dreamlets of Cameron Diaz leaning over showing off her cleavage (saw her in a movie last night). 160

My dream started with me appearing in my room. I was on my bed and it was dark but there was still some light there so i could see. A tall, skinny looking alien with a elephant like nose walked in the room. It was speaking in its own language and tried to saw me open when its nose changed into a chain saw.I grabbed its head and started screaming really loud.To try to break the dream scape. I woke up with the TV on and it was daytime already. On the TV it was giving the Fairly odd Parents. But I noticed something wrong with a face and knew i was dreaming. I got up and went to the living room.
I saw my bro, Eye, Dawn and other people there. I said Hi happily knowing i was in a dream and turned to see people talking to a girl and a little boy on the computer. I said to the girl she was in my dream and to come out the computer.So I pointed to her and tried to bring her out. At first we got excited but than she said her world was spinning around like there was a earthquake. Than the computer crashed...I heard a girl/s voice say she didn't like the outcome. Eye got annoyed and was like who is she to say she didn't like it. Just cause it didn't work. I apologized than went to look outside the window.
I saw a man near his car who looked like he was waiting for someone or something. I opened the door to go outside and Eye came outside with me. He took out a really small grenade and showed me it. I was like you better not throw that thing and took it from him. But by mistake it flew from my hand and landed in the guy's car. He wasn't there though. We joked about how funny it was cause it only made a small fire and we knew it was a dream. We went back inside and looked outside the window and saw the guy trying to put out the fire. A guy came by and asked us something. Than Eye snapped his finger and the dream changed a bit. The fire was no longer in the car and the guy was going to drive away.
I turned and saw Dawn and went up to him saying i have something to tell him. He said okay and walked with me as i held his hand. But when i looked back I saw Eye staring at a knife on the floor. I got scared he would hurt himself or someone so i said never mind and grabbed the knife. Eye got mad at Dawn and said something to him. Than Eye picked me up and put me in a corner away from everyone's view. He tried to make Dawn jealous but he was really struggling in a way to make it work. So he ended up falling flat on his face. I told him it was going to be okay and to stop getting emotional about it.
I walked to the kitchen and saw a plate of pizza.i was like oo~ I wonder how it will taste. I grabbed the pizza and bit it. It tasted like bad pizza so i spit it out and saw that the dream froze. Everything was starting to fade so i said i have to stabilize the dream before everything fades. I started touching a person who was still apparent in the dream and everything began to reappear. It took like 3 seconds for everything to come back and to start working. I was like yay! the dream is back. Than i ran to Dawn and said I was going to tell him now. He was on my bed eating chicken nuggets. I sat near him trying not to crush his legs and took a nugget. He asked me what i wanted to tell him. I than noticed eye was now in the room and told Dawn to call Kiro.Dawn laughed a bit and said alright.
He dialed a number than was talking to someone on the phone. I saw his expression on his face change to a sigh, disappointed face. He said he had to go. I was like awww. He left and I was shocked to see something on the paper change. I was shocked cause i thought it might be a secret code and maybe Dawn had to be sent on a dangerous mission or something. Eye said it was nothing to worry about though. That's when the scenery changed and i was in my house alone...The rooms were smaller though. I heard a zombie like moaning and suddenly pillow/blanket monsters started coming up to me and tried to suffocate me. I started running around screaming for Eye, Dawn and Kiro. My voice was suddenly lost though and i decided that it was time for me to fight my own fight. So I went up to a few of them and started punching them. A few of them exploded and died but one of them got me and tried to squeeze me so i couldn't breathe. I broke free and started screaming for Eye again and he came out of a pillow monster from the other room and proceeded to beat a few up. I than saw a room where there were lots of fish tanks and fish hooks and was distracted by it. I walked into the bathroom and suddenly i felt heavy and like i was losing consciousness. I couldn't get out of the tub i walked into and woke up. Tubs are like my weak spot for some reason. Whenever i walk into them i faint. : P

Okay.Now for my second Lucid dream. I was walking in the city with my younger bro and mom. I looked around and observed the people interacting. Thinking what if one of them was a real person. But i got separated from my family and decided to just have some fun. I hovered down a hill and suddenly ended up in my house downstairs. I ran back up and decided to look for Dawn. I somehow ended up in a beach and ended up hugging Dawn.But when i did Eye came out of no where and pushed him.They were arguing and i fell in the water. I started to drown and i couldn't get back up. Someone eventually picked me up and took me to a hospital. A Lady doctor said i had to be more careful and that i caught a cold. She gave me a small shot on my finger and i ended up feeling better. I talked to Eye and suddenly i felt plastic in my mouth. i removed it and I think i woke up after that or the dream continued.

---

In the next dream I was in my house and a older man came to visit my mom. My older brother was there too. I was semi lucid at the time and noticed i had a boy chest. I thought putting a few staples on my body would make me look cooler. So i put 4 staples on me but not near my heart area. I became fully lucid as i noticed how stupid i was acting and removed the staples from my body slowly. I than changed into my girl form and went to look at myself in the mirror. I fixed my hair a bit and out of no where i saw my big bro looking at me.
Than all of a sudden he leaned on me so close. I screamed at him and told him why would he do that! I told my mom and my bro said that he didn't do it. My mom said something to him than told me and my younger bro we were going on a trip to outer space. I thought it might be a fun lucid adventure so i agreed to go.
My mom drove us to the spot. But it looked liked a place filled with stores to the side and a huge parking spot for cars. Me and my younger bro climbed the ladder and waited for the count down to finish. The rocket ended up being really small but it was a dream so it was possible for it to still take us to our destination. The rocket was taking a long time so i just walked down the ladder with my younger bro and said i wasn't going anymore. My mom drove us a bit further and we got out the car to a place where there was a old lady with another lady playing golf. Me and my bro walked to a city like place. It looked like we were behind a building but still apart of the other setting from the rocket scene. Suddenly I heard a lady's voice taunting me from the sky. I walked a bit and saw animals tied all around me. Under branches, boxes, on the ground. I told my younger bro to help me free the animals. I untied the cat, squirrel,parakeets and other animals. I even saw a few parakeet eggs. They were so cute. When me and my younger bro finished we went to search for the lady who had done such a bad deed.
I called out for her to come out and she spoke again. Me and my younger bro walked to a building where a lady came out with her large stubby black rottweiler dog. I was like why did you do that to all the poor animals! Even if it was a dream it was a stupid idea. She taunted us and introduced us to her dog and said that we forgot about the stapled animals. I said no we didn't!I don't remember freeing any stapled animals but i was sure there were none. The lady signaled for her dog to attack us a few times and stopped it from attacking to show us her control over it. I remained calm and alert and thought about how i would deal with the situation. She laughed at us and said she knows that we are scared of her dog and to watch out. That we don't know what might happen next.
I got mad cause i saw the dog get close to my younger bro and grabbed the mouth of the dog. Than i ripped the dog open into half of itself. the lady was shocked and than i killed the lady. I screamed for help for the cops to come and they came. i told them how the lady tied up and stapled poor animals and if i didn't kill her and her dogs others would get hurt. I also told the cops to free any other animals in the area. The cops said it was ok and they would take care of the rest. I was than happily greeted by someone and my younger bro brought me to a house. It was like the world was all happy because i stopped the lady who was hurting the animals.
I heard my cousin and her dream friends shrunt and yopo. I heard shrunt laughing in one room and suddenly i was in a towel. I yelled for shrunt to come so he could find me clothes. He came and was like what are all the boxes for? Apparently I was moving in with them. i was so happy than i was like wait. I flew around the room and checked in the closet to make sure the lady didn't come back. My cousin was like it was safe and said to yopo remember the time we celebrated the day we met or something like that. Than she joked about me and yopo dating and being a couple for 7000 years. I laughed as she was trying to convince yopo i would be perfect for him. Than i woke up. That was such a awesome dream for me.

Last night's dream was not entirely lucid, but once I got there it was fantastic. It has been a long time since I recalled a dream in a journal, so there needs to be some practice there, and I was woken up by external things so that bothered me a bit. So things I need to work on are: lucid dreaming, dream recall, dream re-entering (yes, I can do that), and, of course, writing skills.

First, There was the warehouse that I used as a shortcut, like I owned the place. I can't remember what I was running from the first time, but as I entered the building I was given two choices. The men of the warehouse would let me pass if I modeled for them, or they would kick me out and hand me over to whomever I was running from. Actually, as I write this out, I was hiding from my husband. Hrm, that's strange. Yes, I'm married (almost 12 years), but hiding from him is one thing, modelling for strangers is another, and put them together it's just weird. This is the part where I became lucid though and managed to change a few things around. Modelling was fun and it felt good to be appreciated. In the "real world" I am overweight and not happy about it (hence, the closeup of my fact in the profile picture). In my dream, I was hot stuff.

The dream shifted when my sister came to get me for exams. Did I want to sit my college exams or skip them? I chose to sit them. Again, a difference in dream and awake worlds. I don't sit college exams in my current school; it is all online and exams aren't necessary. I got to choose the location as well, and chose Seton Hall. No, I have never been to Seton Hall, but the process of signing in and sitting an exam was exhilarating. I knew the instructor from previous dreams.

That's something worth mentioning. I dream of the same people a lot. That's another entry, I suppose.

At the end of the exam, we were all treated to a performance from the orchestra, led by a student composer about five years my junior. He had dark hair, an electric smile, and bright eyes. They instructor kept bringing up me during the after-party (type thing) and mentioning to the composer that I was lesbian. In a way, that's true, but after a few minutes he leaned over and whispered that he saw my wedding band "glistening in the light". "That's because I'm married, to a man." I replied. His eyebrows raised and I said the obvious "I'm bi." I felt truly uncomfortable at that point and walked away, back to the warehouse.

Because the warehouse had been previously dirty and "manly" I created an elaborate dressing room for myself to hide in so I could change into something less formal and leave. I had just finished packing up my belongings and clothing when somebody opened the door and scared me half out of my wits. But then, I saw behind him, at a distance, the composer, and I wondered what he could possibly want coming towards me. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to find out, for I was woken up from first my alarm, then my husband's, then our cats. Half the dream is missing in my head because of those continued distractions.

The half that remains lingers, like they always do, like these people are real and tangible.

I have, in fact, met people I have dreamt about, and been places I couldn't have possibly seen prior to. Like when I traveled to Australia, I knew my way around a shopping center having never been there before. I knew what kind of temporary table was set up around the corner. What are the chances? I knew it all like I'd been there a thousand times, yet I hadn't been there even once. And that table, was temporary, just set up, even my friend didn't know it was there.

The same thing happened in Toronto. I knew my way around because I'd been there in my dreams. I knew my friend by the way he walked and the way he "felt."

I'll stop here and make another entry soon.

Non-lucid, lucid, SP-awake and/or observations

Nap after Work:

.../I'm in the middle of this dream world routine, before going to school. I've just get out of the house and I'm about to go to the bus stop when I realize it's not my waking life and I have dream this sequence before, including the lucidity part. I decide to go on with the plot, so I keep on walking to the bus stop. It's a little bit far from my point of view but I don't mind walking in order to stabilize the dream. I see the bus is already there. I think perhaps I could summon a particular DC in the bus to have some sex. But my body slowly starts to fading out when I realize I stopped feeling my legs.
I'm lying on the bed with my eyes closed. I can partially feel every movement I think about my body although I cannot see it. It's not too difficult to imagine things in this stage. I know I could get back into the dream, so I go on remembering part of the routine I was dreaming before/...
.../I'm getting out of the apartment which is on a higher floor. I realize I can see again and better feel my body. I don't remember other thing but to stabilize the dream. I don't want to lose it thinking too much. I start going down stairs. My body is a little bit blurry and I can still feel myself lying on the bed. so I start slapping my legs and arms to feel them in stead of my real body. It apparently works, so I start going down stairs exaggerating my movements to feel this body. I got to go a couple of floors down but it's too loud out there and I can feel other things which don't make sense in the dreamscape and my body fades out again. I can still feel what I think, but this time it's too loud out here. My wife is making too much noise and I cannot go back to sleep.

* I barely remember I have been shortly lucid in this world before, but it's too blurry to have a proper recall.

I wake up from my usual night's sleep in order to go to the restroom. Don't recall my dreams. When I get back, I settle in, noting in my mind that this would be a good time for a lucid attempt, and then I allow myself to drift off.

One of the ways I initiate lucid dreaming is visualization. My particular mode is exploring an environment in my head, in detail. I know I'm entering the dream when the environment becomes easier to explore and more unpredictable. Sometimes there is a sense of "breaking the tension" and moving into lucidity. Sometimes it's more gentle. Sometimes I feel like things are still fuzzy and don't get the clarity I want. Like all lucid techniques, it's a mixed bag.

I grab onto the first location that drifts into my mind - an old apartment I used to live in. I am outside on the front lawn. I walk down the lawn and across the street and head for a stream that is on the other side of the complex. It is lined on either side by thick trees that were simply never knocked down by the developer.

When I reach the stream, I begin my explorations. I decide to do something I did there a lot as a child - look for rocks that would look good once they had been through a rock tumbler. I pick up a few rocks and examine them, but don't see anything I like. I continue walking down the stream, splashing my feet in the water.

The stream becomes larger and deeper. I have reached a part of the stream that no longer looks familiar. I note that my visualization has become more intense. I walk from the center of the stream to the bank on the side, which has become muddy. As I continue walking, the stream becomes deeper and more turbulent, and has cut deeper into the banks. The banks have gone from the soft dark brown of midwestern soil to a burnt sienna color, and are gaining more of a texture of clay. If anybody has been to Georgia, they may know the color of soil I'm talking about.

The stream has become closer to a river. I imagine that a "duck" style vehicle could probably float down it now. For some reason, a roller coaster is now running along the side of the bank, but it isn't full scale. I take note of it. I try to assess my dream state, but it still feels "thin". There's not really much clarity, and I feel like trying to exert direct influence right now may cause it to fall apart.

The roller coaster has disappeared. I now see a pristine snow drift and a snow-covered hill leading upward from the river bank. I decide to see where the snow leads.

I begin walking through the snowy area. The snow becomes deeper, and as I continue forward, I start having trouble walking through it. I am heading up a steep hill, struggling through the snow. I look up the hill, and realize it leads up a mountain. I look down and I can see the path I've made through the snow. The stream is nowhere in sight - I'm now on a mountain in a mountain range. This is the tallest mountain. It's daytime, and the sky is very blue against the sparkling white snow.

I decide to continue heading upward to see what is up there. The sky becomes darker. The snow is almost up to my chest, and the way up is still very steep. I have no climbing equipment, so I flounder and climb the best I can. At this point, I feel like I am "deep" enough in the dream to start changing things, but I'm genuinely curious as to where this all leads.

Upward, in the distance, wind is picking snow up off the drifts and driving it in swirls across the mountainside. Through the wind and snow, nestled under a massive overhang in the rock of the mountain, I see... a fortress? Castle? It's made of stone. There are no lights; even though it is aesthetically beautiful, in a cold way, all of the openings look defense-oriented - places for archers or people with spears. The only place I see a dim light is what I assume is the entrance.

I reach the door. There is a flat area of stone that forms sort of a "landing", a level area carved out of the rock and laid with decorative stonework. A large, wooden door leads to what I assume is the interior of the fortress. The aesthetic is quite Gothic (but think of something in the style of Rheinstein Castle, not something like Cologne Cathedral). There are lights on either sides of the door, but interestingly, they seem more like gaslights than torches. The wood is stained a warm brown color and the fittings look like they are made of bronze.

There is a lever to open the door in front of it. I ponder how that really isn't very, you know, secure, but I get the feeling that not everybody is actually able to pull it. Only certain people can. I pull it with no problem, though. The door opens.

I walk into a gallery with an extremely high ceiling. There are massive chandeliers lit with huge candles, I count about 8 of them, and each one looks like it is the size of a small room. They look a little... Victorian. The whole thing seems cathedral-esque, but when I examine the gallery, I see that there are actually walkways high up on either side where archers could perch. Anybody trying to march through here could be easily sniped.

I'm not sure what I'm expecting. There are 2 doors at the very end of the gallery. The one to the right is open, and in the room there is a small screen, and it seems to be a bedroom of some sort, which I think is kind of weird. Then I realize it's a place for guards to rest, where they could easily access the gallery, so this might be an area that also leads to barracks. I still think it's a really weird layout. I go through the door that is right in front of me, though.

It leads to a dark room with stone walls and outlets to a hallway on either side. I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't this. The scenery still feels blurry and not 100% real, which is also a bit frustrating.

I walk through the door directly across me. I am in another room with high ceilings and a large chandelier. Things are getting blurry and kind of falling apart. The architecture is getting weird and I feel like it's getting "wrong". I begin to feel frustrated. I'm still trying to look for a throne room, or something, but I keep encountering weird rooms like this that just don't seem to fit the layout right. I'm looking for a dream character of any sort of significance, at this point, since I haven't really seen anybody.

There's another screen with someone behind it... I look around for a person. I'm actually looking around for what my dreamscape would consider to be the "leader" of this place, but instead, a woman who looks like a nanny appears. I don't know what small children she'd be minding, I assumed the ones of the head of the castle. At the time, I assumed there would be some, but now that I think about it there don't seem to be any. I think they might be around, but I don't see any. I should have talked to her, and asked what was up, but I didn't. I have an irritating tendency to stay silent during these dreams.

I can't get the DC I want to appear. I wake up.

The castle is cool, though. Once I've been to a dream-location, it seems like it can be a little easier getting there again (cottage is still hard, though). I wish I had spent more time examining individual parts of the fortress, rather than just pressing onward. If I end up there again, I probably will.

Dream
Lucid

I was in class taking a history test and using the text book as aid. I decided to go home so I got in my car and was on a small road with sand all over; it was a typical New Mexican road. There were a lot of cops around pulling people over. I was behind a girl and saw her smiling at me. She had short reddish hair with really nice teeth. I came to a stop and suddenly the cops turn on their lights and start speeding off. I pull forward and get on the right lane, then making a right and following a dirt road to my house. The song "Lalala" was playing on the radio. I notice my house, which is different from the one I lived in. It sort of looked like the house I lived in with L. Hernandez. I notice my phone on the counter and wonder how it's there if I used it a while ago. I ask "Am I dreaming?" and count my fingers. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. I put my hand down and then snap and become lucid.

I feel happy and look around. I tell myself "Explore, explore" so I walk around. I'm walking with a limp and see a mirror. Looking into the mirror, I see my reflection. I'm wearing a white with red shirt that's ripped on my shoulders. I look pretty buff. I walk into a room that has a drier, washer, and fridge. As I open the fridge, I say "Mashed potatoes!", but find no mashed potatoes in the fridge. I close the fridge and enter another room. I see 2 baskets full of mashed potatoes that have the same texture as bread. I grab one and dip it in a pot of gravy that's right next to me. I take a bite and say "Mmmmm" as I'm chewing. It tasted like mashed potatoes. I start walking out of the house and I say "I'm dreaming, "I'm dreaming", to increase lucidity. I walk out into a patio and notice my dream ending.

6/11/14

Just woke up from a nap. 1:30 - 3:30

Didn't want to sleep, because I have tons of work for the next week. But body started getting relaxed almost immediatelly so I thought If I get HH when I close my eyes, I'll go for a WILD or a nap. Since I didn't really want to sleep or sleep long, I kept waking up, or getting close to waking up dipping back under.

Ha a few cool dreams:

DR1: DILD

I'm in a hospital as a nurse in training or something similar. We are walking around, doing things. There is a patient and something prevents us from checking on her. A nurse or doc tells us, that it's too bad, because we are there to learn and god knows when we'll have another chance on a live patient.

Now I'm in my mom's kitchen. I'm writing something on a laptop. There is a girl there with me. She hands me a paper with some handwritten notes, saying that she noticed me typing in english, so there are names of some books she knows I would enjoy. She eminates so much peace and love. I feel so good in her presence. She has long darker hair and a calm, smiling face.

She remind me of one of my good friends from high school, L.H. So I half jokingly ask her, if she her, or related to her, because sure as heck they are so similar. She laughs and says no.

We talk some more when i say "hey, wait a minute, I think we are in a dream". I look at my left hand and count my fingers and sure enough. I'm so happy that I rcognized the dream feel and counted my fingers. I tell her all excited that we are in a dream and I'm so happy to share that moment with her. I grab her by the hand and we walk through the balcony glass door. I'm thinking if I should tell her t just walk through and not worry, or will that make her worry, but by then we have stepped through. We are outside and it's night. I say let's go flying, but it's so slow. So I tell her to get jets for her back and I get some for my feet. It's still so slow, no matter how much I want it.

So I tell her to lay on her back and paddle that way, and as a bonus we see the starry skies that way too.


DR2:

My parents are visiting me in Beverly Hills. It's at night, they just arrived. I want to take them outside by the swimming pool and ahve a glass of red wine. I'm showing them the city pool deep below us.

I vaguely remember something about snakes chasing us in the swimming pool.

DR3:

I'm outside of my childhood house, near the tennis courts. Some teenagers drive by in a cabriolet. They are up to no good and when they spot us, they start shooting. I summon an assault rifle and start shooting. I realize my hands are empty, so I at least make the ta-ta-ta sound in hopes it will make bullets appear. But no.

Now I'm on my balcony and teens are all over the neighborhood causing trouble. We are trying to get away through the balcony. I think I can just jump off and fly, but my mom is worried.

Almost forgot. Last night, fellated a foot long black... snake. Proly bit longer. Somebody walked in. Then let us be.
