lucid

This is old and I never published it for some reason.

Four or five people are sitting around a table and are snorting cocaine. They offer me to join. I decline.

I am at some cafe or food court area. There are several restaurants. Only one of them is open; a pizza place. I ask the person behind the to please get me some pizza. She gives me a pita bread with some ketchup on it. Some other dream characters come, and the woman gives them actual pizza. I am jealous and ask some of the other dream characters if they were willing to share. They are not.
Several other food-related things took place. Some of the other restaurants came open. I went to a chinese restaurant where they offered noodles. I tried to purchase noodles but they gave me raw dry noodles.

I am in some industrial park or power plant area. Odd mix of heavy industry and nature. I find a hole with a ladder leading underground. I open it and some man emerges wearing heavy high-tech looking armor, something like the fallout armor.
The armor grants him superhuman strength and he begins throwing rocks and large pieces of stone at me and other dream characters. Me and the other dream characters fight back by [dream logic] throwing fruit [/dream logic] Supposedly it was because the fruit had acid in it that would cause the armor to rust and freeze up.
I get hit by one of the rocks, and die but become partially lucid upon the moment of my death and reset the situation.
I help coordinate the dream characters and instead of simply attacking we plan an ambush and end up defeating the man in the armor.

I am in what feels like a combination of a shopping mall and my middle school. I am lucid, and try to throw a plasma ball. It fails.

It began with me waking up in my Father room from the voices of my grandmother. She was complaining a lot, I then heard she said these disgusting kids made such a mess. Which made me angry that she would immediately assume it was me and my brother. That's when I got up and threw the blankets off me and kick my Father door in anger. I then look at the curtains and thought the sound of the kick was sort of wrong. I also started thinking it was weird that I wake up hearing I did a mess when I've been sleeping the whole time. That's when I got both of my hands and made my finger go through my it. It went through and that's when I became lucid and confirm it by saying " I'm dreaming " " I'm dreaming " I look at the curtains and the 1st thing I wanted to do was to jump through the curtains however as I did it push me back. I then wanted to fly as I felt my feet elevated with air I then jump to only find myself floating in the air. After being disappointed I decided to put my hands through my Father door to only find that it wasn't working. I open my Father door like it was any regular door, damn objects , as I open it and walk in the living room I confirm it was night and that all lights downstairs was turn off. However the orange lights outisde flash through the house giving me some sight. I then tried to create a video game character by thinking of it. I close my eyes with concentration and then open my eyes to find that it didn't work. I then began walking more through the living room and could tell the dream was getting slower sort of like lag in games, this alerted me that the dream would end. So I rub my hands together as I made my way upstairs I rub my hands together again so the dream can be prolong. As I reach the top stairs I could hear in my Mother room that the game Tekken 5 dr was playing. I enter the room the lights were off and I saw the flat screen tv hang up on the wall. As I enter in my brother said hello, I look at him and said hello back. I then jump on the bed and once more wanted to go outside. I look at my Mother wide large window and attempt to go through however it didn't work which made me unsatisfied. My brother and I began talking he was saying he was learning a lot of characters in the game and that it been taking awhile for him but he told me he was getting really good. I replied by saying yes you have been playing for a long time. My brother smiled and pop up the PSN screen menu really quick and then went back in the game. I had an idea, I immediately told my brother to bring the PSN screen up again. He did it again in confusion as I took a great lookat the date label on the screen. The date said 8/15/11 , which suggest this dream is being claimed as in the past. I then look at my brother and ask him how old he was . He lay down on the floor and said he was 14. I took another look at him and confirm that he look exactly like his present day self which is 19. I began telling my brother about lucid dreaming saying that were in a dream that claims we're in the past. I told him " I am not the brother you knew, I am the future of myself I also know the future you as we ll" My brother look at me and was wondering how I got here. I said it was because this is a lucid dream, we then began debating about if it's a time machine or a dream. He assume it was a time machine due to all the things I was saying. I told him it wasn't but I can't 100% convince him, as he and I both sit down on the floor I decided to get up which made the lights turn on. I thank my brother for giving me a new topic to debate with my brother in waking life in the present day. He told me he would never forget what I told him. I began walking to my Mother front doorand stare up at the ceiling. I could tell my brother was wondering how I plan on leaving. As I stare at the ceiling I said " oh subconscious may you come on down and join us in this conversation. The subconscious replied by making me go through my Mother door and sending me in a different dream scenery. I look around and was in some house , there was 5 room in this average size house. I walk and saw a few other people with me. I look at them and could tell we were here to kill each other. The last person alive wins all the cash, as I observe the room I notice they were in all good details. I then open the door in the 5 house place to only find myself back in my living room, the only difference was that it was early morning now instead of night. So I open the front door and look outside, I was amaze by how green it look. I saw 3 other people who were also in it to win all the money. They were standing just talking that's when the blonde headed woman yell the word hello. I look at them and the scene and the feeling of the outside and felt like I needed to question myself again. Because it look , felt and seem too real, that was the only problem it was too real to be real. The blonde headed woman ran toward my way to hug me, as she doing so I was wondering why because everyone here knew they came here to kill each other. I then came to the conclusion that she must be doing this to everyone so she could gain their trust and to make them 2nd guess themself so when it's night she can kill us all while winning all the money. As she let go of me I stare in to her face and knew she had to die. So I grab her and force her to hug me, As I pulled out my pocket knife from my pants I quickly stab her in the back. I then got her body and carried it on my shoulder. That's when everyone enter the 5 room house again as we all knew it was time to eat. As I enter in the house a guy with a red hoodie ask me if could sleep in my room, I told him I already had my belongings place there and that he could have the other room in the back. I then proceeded to laying her body on the table and went in my room. I notice a mirror and decided to look at myself in it. This time nothing seem wrong with me, everything look correct as I would in waking life. I was in the clothes I had when I fell asleep so I thought it was impressive. I heard everyone getting near the table preparing to eat. I came and sat at the table and told everyone the dead body on the table was my food. I look at the specs of the table intill the person in charge came and said it was time to eat. The person in charge had purple hairi n a pony tail and she was waering a black jump suit. As everyone began eating I ask her why was she doing this? She answer my question by saying we were all a family and wanted to support us. I look at the yellow, red and blue sparkles on the table magically appearing out of no where on the table I figure I'm probably going to her for thinking we're all a family by killing each other. I then wanted to ask my subconscious a question for real life. I ask it what's a different food I could eat for when I wake up because when my parents ask me what I would want I usually don't have an answer because I don't know many foods out there. The answer came in my head and it ws indian food and I was wondering why I didn't think of that. But considering I was in a dream in a way I guess in a way I did think of it. That's when I began hearing this soft pulse beat and felt like I was going away. I saw light blue grayish and then woke up. Lucidity Time : 8 mins

4/29/14* My wife moved abruptly to turn off her alarm (timing was right IWL), but due to all of the HH's I get with my wife moving, I took it as an HH and kept my awareness basically attempting a DEILD. I had the sensation of laying in bed but a visual, over to my right, of myself (I assume) floating face down above the bed. That scene and the following was too much of a lengthy continuous scene to have been HH. I think this might have been influenced by a scene in the poorly rated movie "Apparition" that I saw over the weekend where the main character sees himself stuck on the ceiling and is unable to move on the bed either but eyes wide open (looked like sleep paralysis) while his girlfriend is being attacked by an unseen force. Mine was more of a dark outline of a male body on the ceiling. I believe it caught me in one of the NREM stages but the bizarreness of it eventually woke me up for real (or my wife moving again). I remained calm but continued to get rotating dark figures above me so I just laid back...mostly enjoying the show. Very memorable. 139

4/29/14

Last night bed 10pm-4:23am

WBTB till 6am

6am - 8mgs Galantamind + 900 mgs of choline

Laid down to WILD at 6am, got up to pee at 6:32, after already was partially asleep. Went back to sofa and WILDed.

Woke up at 7:51 from a chain of DEILDs. Didn't count them, but there were at least 5 distinct transitions. As I was falling asleep, I was telling myself "please no sex". But I had a feeling it's futile.

All transitions were from me realizing what I see is a dream. I stood up into every one of them. I was mostly blind. I was tellling myself as falling asleep and in LD, that I have to just open my eyes as OpheliaBlue does. It didn't work. I tried to pry them open with my hands which normally worked, but not this time. But I did wonder, if I'm doing it with my real hands to my physical eyes. I also tried to take the hoodie off of my eyes and sunglasses. Didn't work, because I know I didn't believe I have a hoodie or sunglasses on.

These will probably not be in any order:

1. Realizing I see my room, I stand up, walk to the door and walk outside. End up thousands of miles away, on the street in my hometown, in front of my childhood house.

I start walking to the town. It's at night. A guy drives by on his bicycle. I resist the urge. But he turns around and as he drives by my again, I yank him off his bike by hooking my arm under his elbow. As I'm dreagging him off to the bushes by the side of the house, I'm asking him if you wants to have sex. He says he doesn't know how to. I ask him "do you have a penis?". When he answers "yes", I tell him "then I'll show you how to". We duck behind the bushes and get busy.

2. Again realizing I'm in my room. I make a consious effort to walk out my door, and not jump out the window or go through the wall, as usually. I unlock both locks and turn the knob. There is a box in front of neighbors apartment and I realize this is my current place or residence.

I walk outside but I'm in front of my childhood house again. Once again I start walking down the street towards the town. I notice it's winter and everything is covered in deep snow. I'm rather gliding or hovering maybe a foot above ground and nice speed. There is a fort kids made from snow in the middle of the street. No cars because of snow. I glide over it and say samething to kids.

I figure I should go to the moon, since I'm moving at nice pace. Skies are overcast, but there is some faint light from one star. I say "when I turn around, there will be moon" I turn few times, but no moon. I take aim for the star, but I realize there are no features to focus on and I;ll lose lucidity if I continue, so I abort.

3. Again I realize I see my room and stand up. Walk to the door, but this time I don't unlock, just turn the knob and door opens. But before I do that, I say "there is a moon behind this door" and I imagine lunar surface. But no, it's my hallway again, only this time with even more boxes than last time. I look at the label on the box in front of my door to see who sent it, but can't make it out. I decide ot check it out when I wake up to see if it's still there.

4. A very annoying insect is buzzing right at my face. I put all my effort into moving my hands and I try to shoo it away, but then I catch it and squish it, expecting to be bitten.

5. Same hard sound of insect buzzing, I squish him again.

6. Finally, some sinking sensation. I push my head back little bit more and now I'm falling backwards. It's aaaaawesoooome! But it doesn't last long.

7. There are some cucumbers and other stuff on the plate and I realize it's a dream and stand up.

8. I'm outside, at night. I see 2 helicopters with what looks like a refueling plane. They are chasing and shooting at 2 triangular alien ships. We are in Nevada.

9. I'm talking to alex on IRC, when OpheliaBlue boops me, and I tell her I'm talking to alex. I think she has a message for him.


10. Also in Nevada. Half way up on a huge mountain that has rocks, no vegetation, typical desert rocks. There is some kind of an apparatus. I'm test piloting it. I get out of it, then walk to the edge of the clif as tall as if reaching all the way to the skies, and I throw myself off. Wooooo. Love that feeling.

Thank you for my dreams and transitions.

WILD attempt after waking up an hour before my alarm…

It feels like I've been asleep forever while waiting for some sort of dream imagery to appear. I decide to try something different and have my dream body climb out of bed. I see my bedroom really isn't that much different than usual (there's always something weird about it in my false awakenings). I move onto the bathroom, which also looks the same. In fact, the only weird thing I've found is that I'm wearing a very sheer white nightgown. I might as well be naked considering how see-through it is.

Somehow, I find myself in the kitchen. I see dishes piling up in the sink and I start to load them up into the dishwasher when I realize I already did this before going to bed. I concentrate on my desire to try the Beauty and the Beast task, then leave the kitchen. I find myself in a dark room where the only light is from the fireplace. There are bookshelves lining the walls and two armchairs in front of the fire. Someone comes from behind and guides me towards one of the chairs, murmuring something about how I must be cold. This must be the beast. I turn so I can see his face, except he doesn't seem to have a head. Wrong story -- this isn't supposed to be Sleepy Hollow.

The beast sits down in one of the chairs and pulls me into his lap. This time when I look, he really is a proper beast with a head and everything. To my surprise, he looks like the one from the Disney movie (I had hoped my subconscious would be a bit more original than that). But he has very soft fur and I spend a lot of time stroking it before whispering, "I love you." He's a bit too tall for me to kiss while I'm sitting, so I have to shift around so that I'm straddling his lap. But I do manage to kiss him, even managing to slip in a little bit of tongue even though there was no French kissing in the movie. I break off the kiss and pull away to see what the beast has turned into now that the curse is broken, and I find that I've just kissed Fabio.

My gut reaction is, "EW!" because I really don't find Fabio all that attractive. He's more like a caricature of the type of guy I do not like. I'm so shocked that I somehow find myself standing in front of the linen closet in the upstairs hallway. I reach for a towel, then notice that there's an odd light at the back of the closet. Something tells me that it's a portal and that I should take it, so I slide between the shelves to get to the back of the closet. I find myself face-down in mud. Someone picks me up and guides me towards a waterfall cascading into a pool of water. Fabio is waiting there with a bottle of shampoo. I immediately think, "No way." The scene shifts and I'm back into the room with the fireplace. This time, Sherlock Holmes (the Cumberbatch version) is sitting in the chair opposite me. He starts trying to psychoanalyze my unusual reaction to finding out that Fabio was my un-cursed prince and he seems amused that I'd rather talk to him than play in the waterfall with Fabio.

FILD Method
Sleeping at about 11pm
Woken up at 4am

After drinking a large glass of tea and diet coke I went to sleep. I woke up at 4am to attempt the FILD method for the first time and to great results. If you still have not managed to go lucid I recommend this as it worked on my first time.
I went to sleep tapping my fingers on my bed and the next thing I knew when my finger touched down it was transformed into a blue brush tool in Photoshop. I had placed a random blue dot off of the screen where it shouldn't be. The second this was placed I knew I was finally lucid. I went to grab for the pen tool in Photoshop and that's when I woke up.
Great I actually got this, now I need to try this tapping method again.
I went back to sleep attempting the same thing and I was transported to this dark grey room. There were large colored rectangles flying and bouncing off the walls. I decided I didn't want to move at all instead I just rubbed my hands together and watched the rectangles. I thought If I moved too soon I might move my real body and wake up so I continued to stand there. Blocks were flying through my body and I observed the hollow insides of them while they passed thinking about where I was. All of a sudden I had this urge to save my best friend who was being attacked by a zombie and I woke up.

Morning of April 29, 2014. Tuesday.



My wife and I are living in Cubitis seemingly in the present. However, it looks as it did in the early 1970s for the most part until the shorter trip northward.

In my dream, I wake up on Easter in my old bedroom. When I look out the southernmost window (west wall of room) to the north, I notice two cars parked in the driveway and another one parked north to south in the yard near where the three silver oaks had been (but are not in the yard in my dream). I tell my wife about it and we are both really annoyed at this. The people are possibly visitors of the newer people who moved into the house north of us (Harold M’s old house) on the other side of the orange grove. A little later, I notice a rusty old car body only (with no chassis to be seen anywhere) blocking the driveway near where it opens out onto Highway Seventeen, oriented south to north. This makes me really aggravated, because it means that in order to walk beyond our house, we would have to walk down into the culvert and out again to get to the wayside of the highway (oddly, I do not consider walking through the neighbor’s yard). I say this to my wife.

Later, I go outside and see that there is another junk car (body only, no chassis) also longways blocking another driveway two houses to the south. I wonder what other people are thinking of these other invasive people. I notice that part of the house now actually looks like our present one, which does not seem that unusual at the time; that is, it has the “same” porch and living room at that point, but perpendicular to how it really would be in reality.

After a time, I notice an old (1969?) John Deere tractor heading my way, first noticing it approaching from about four houses south. It has no driver (but travels mostly in an even path) and eventually stops when it crashes with a thud into the southwestern corner of our porch (this is probably a distorted “replay” of when a car crashed into our porch in real life).

A little later, it seems my father is alive and well and living at our address (yet seems only around fifty and fairly muscular - though he was very muscular even in his seventies, when he still sometimes looked to be around his late forties when compared to others). He has some folded papers that he takes out of his left pants pocket which relate to a list of some things (as a receipt) I supposedly bought in 1984 and he seems concerned about all the money I spent but for some reason, I tell him that I did not actually buy any of whatever is in the list, but that it is some sort of “prop” for a stage play or some such. We pick up and arrange some tools in the shed, putting things back where they should be.

We decide to clean up the yard, starting with the tractor and the car body at the end of our driveway. My father somehow effortlessly picks up the John Deere tractor with one hand and arm and I pick up the car body with one hand and arm. It does not seem that unusual that we are doing this. We go north one additional section beyond the neighbor to the north where there is a (fictional) junkyard and place the two items in a pile. The area (same owners?) also seems to serve partly as a lumber company. The owners are walking around and had told us where to put the “junk” and after we set it down, we return to remove the parked cars, which seems a bit “mean”, but also amusing. We receive a fairly small payment.

After this, I enjoy some intimate time with three very passive younger copies of my wife in the southern side-yard who are also all dressed identically in yellowish and white (somewhat bridal-looking, but above the knees) formal ruffled dresses, though I can only seem to “work” with two at a time. There are a few other (unknown) people walking around who I mostly ignore. At this point, my dream intensifies into full lucidity (and lasts a fairly long time) and I have the usual concern about what my real body is doing at the time or whether I am uncovered in reality while in my dream. This does not shorten or negate my dream, though. (At least I am not focused on whether or not my real body is sleepwalking in the street during busy traffic during full dream lucidity, as I sometimes do.)

This is an easy one for me because I could also feel in it. (Feel is used in terms of pressure and not like hot, cold, or pain for this dream.)

I was about 6(irl) when I had my first LD. I went to bed like normal but I woke up again. The first thing I saw was my intestines wrapped around the other end of the spike that I was impaled on. It was to dark to see much of anything else but I could hear other things around me. I could make out what looked like other people on them also. This would not have been that bad but I could feel myself slipping farther down the spike and I could feel my intestines getting caught/ pulled out. I decided to try to climb off of it. As I started to climb I noticed that my hands felt wet and I could smell the blood. I almost made it to the top when I lost my grip and fell farther down the spike. I had to pull myself together to climb back up again. It was harder climbing down once I got off and when I touched the ground I woke up.

Hello. I figured I would post some of my old dreams that I took control of after getting tired of them. May be these methods will help some of you to.

I was having a nightmare (LD) that I was running away from something but it kept on getting me and then the dream would reset. After about 5 times of this I decided I didn't want to do this anymore. I closed my eyes and concentrated on making a door appear next to me. After a little bit of concentrating I opened my eyes and went through the door. In here was a completely blank "room" where I began to make anything I wanted. I started small with some friends then a roller-coaster and eventually ended up playing quittage (I was in like middle school). I used this method to help with a lot of nightmares when I was little.

i just remember a portion of my dream vaguely being lucid. I was just walking around like o shit this is a dream. i tried to think of stuff to do but couldnt come up with any ideas. eventually i lost lucidness.so yea next time just center in lucidness and dont fuck around

#309 - FILD/DEILD - 5:41AM

I awaken from some dream where I was trying to find my car. I remember to try FILD but for some reason I interlocked my fingers and placed my hands on my chest. I used only the index finger of my right hand to tap. I am not sure if FILD worked as an anchor or if I was already set up to DEILD but it was only a few seconds before I felt vibes. My hands became extremely uncomfortable and with effort I pushed my hands out in front of me and slowly got out of bed. I think of goals but the dream is super unstable so I begin rubbing my hands as I wander around.

I find myself in the kitchen and there is a woman who looks a lot like my wife's boss. She's wanting me to make coffee. I am not sure if she told me to do it or if I just knew that's what she wanted, but that's what I began doing. I told myself to just play along and go for the ride while I wait for stability. Basically, I was fully lucid but I gave up most of the dream control and just watched the scene play out.

I have some sort of stove top peculator and electric coffee maker hybrid on the stove. I fumble with a filter and the grounds. I pull up the water and realize I am loading a metallic carafe. I quickly switch to a glass one. She's already trying to get a cup of coffee but it's just starting. I say something about it being super strong but she can just add some hot water to dilute it. Suddenly, the dream fades out and I partially awaken.

I go back into DEILD mode and the vibrations start right away. I decide to wait a little while hoping the dream will come to me without my having to struggle so much to stabilize. Sadly, I quickly lose lucidity and have a false awakening.

I am in bed but I am doing either a podcast or a radio show. I only hear the audio but I am having a conversation with the woman from my kitchen and some man that sounds a lot like John B. Wells. The woman was talking about her version of the dream. She says there was so much poop on the floor and I was having a hard time keeping up with her coffee drinking. I figure the poop part was only in her version but the coffee making was a connection. I shout out, “COFFEE! THAT'S A HIT!” The man starts talking over me but I jump in again, “SHARED DREAMING! WE DID IT! THAT'S A HIT!” I calm down a bit now. “Wouldn't you say that we were in the same dream?”
The woman says something like she thinks maybe it was but she's not sure.
I ask, “Will you do me a favor? Write it all down in detail and...”
The man starts talking over me again asking the woman some unrelated question. She replies to him totally ignoring me.
I become desperate. I feel like this was a signification dream exchange and they aren't seeing it. I beg, “Guys... PLEASE.” The dream fades and I wake up.

Regular= Non-lucid Bold=Lucid

I am coming down from the cafeteria, to the band room, only to see that we are eating at a Taco Bell inside the school. I sit down and talk with my friends, noticed in particular my girlfriend and Joe(freind) Then, my youth pastor, who sometimes comes to our lunch and talks to us kids says come outside were doing something different. So we all go outside and it's like sunset. This really annoying sub says you guys can't go out more than 100 meters from the school because it's late. So everybody goes inside except for a few. I stay out with 2 friends and hang. Then the lights go out. I try to get in the door but nobody is inside. Then I hear a snarl. A stray dog is baring its teeth and looking straight at me. I think, this is a dream! I try to stop the dog with dream control but I can't. It charges me jumps and just like hits the force field. Then I go inside, but I wake up sleeping in the office chair mumbling stuff in a lull like, " gotta remember this is a dream!" Then I think oh yeah I'm dreaming. A kid pokes out from my stairwell and says hi and I ignore him. I just immerse myself in my house, Feeling the blankets and walls and carpet. The I go in the kitchen and see a whole bunch of pills. I think to myself, if I take these pills I will turn into a centaur. But right as I'm about to take it my brother jumps out and scares me. I lose lucidity. Then I go and have this weird feeling that I need to write my dream down even though I was just lucid. While righting it down I couldn't think and I had another false awakening. Then I really woke up.






Notes: my third lucid dream so I'm really excited! I stabilized and almost used dream control... But that false awakening was weird. I've had them before but I just like woke up still thinking I was in that place and muttering I need to remember this is a dream.

Last night I dreamed and I could remember my dreams clearly (or more clearly than yesterday).

Dream 1
The dream was about a mummy of some kind, their was a sphere like a movie about a mummy (where you are finding one or defeating one). The surroundings were a combination between a neighborhood I know and Egypt (bit like Aladin). We were with a team of four, trying to defeat the mummy. There was a boy with special powers, the main character, lets call him A (because he has no name XD). Than there was my sister, she was just part of the team and last a boy who was kind of our guide through the Egypt/familiar neighborhood territory, lets call him B. And of course I was there as a team member
We were running in streets to get to a battle field. and the battle field was also a mix between a 'lake' I know and Egypt. A was fighting of the mummy.

Dream 2
I was in a really big house. It was a mixture of my aunts home and an unfamiliar home. Four friends were their, that I knew by name, but there were more friends, but I couldn't remember their names. And only my uncle and nephew were there (not my aunt).
One friend, Elianne and I were going to get food for us (everybody there). It was raining really hard, but we still went cycling. We didn't get wet or even cold. I can't remember or I didn't dream the cycling ride or picking up the food. I remember just getting our bikes and getting back with loads of food. We went inside and got the food to the table. *

Fragment 1 of dream 2
I think my dreamed about the food on the table etc. and than all of the sudden I was seeing a discussion or in a discussion with my uncle and father aobut a fesival were you dress like a character of book/movie/series or just fantasy creature. My uncle said he liked the festival. We went their, but I can only remember the sandy parking lot.

Lucid?
I can't remember for sure, but I think I was lucid for just 'a couple of seconds'. Because when I walked into the house after we gone and got the food, my glasses fogged up (don't know if you say it like this), because of the warmth and cold difference. I remember thinking, this has to be a dream, because there was no cold and there is no warmth and everything looks kind of off. But then I didn't do anything and just dreamed the dream.
I where glasses (or lenses) IRL, that is not a dream sign or anything weird...!

The following I wrote after I dreamed this and woken myself up and wrote these 2 dreams and fragment down. After that I went back to sleep again and when I woke up 1 1/2 hour later I wrote this down:

Fragment 2
I was with my friend Elianne and we were shopping in a shop that looked like a store I knew, but that store isn't a supermarket, but the store just sold food. I was not in school (I am not in school right now, we have vacation, but I don't have to go to school anymore, because I just have to learn for my exams and in couple of weeks I will take those exams), but apparently every other student in the store (a lot of people I know and are in my class) including Elianne were in school. I bought something in the end, but I never got something of the racks or really looked at any products with the thought of wanting to buy them. Elianne bought cookies and than somehow my other friend, Jessy, was also there. And she bought candy that I believe she doesn't like IRL, but I like a lot.
After that I bumped into another classmate/friend Lauren and she was with other people who are friends of me, but I couldn't see them clearly. Lauren asked me something about a series we both watch and I answered her and she walked away, but I don't know what she asked or what I answered. It was like the sound was set on mute for a minute.

After I paid I left my friends and roller-bladed home, don't know were I got my roller blades, but I had them on. I found my sister and a good friend of her talking to a woman with four kids. One of the kids a girl was 'picking' my sisters bike, it was weird. My sister wanted to lift her up, but I said she shouldn't do that. She did it anyway, so I took the girl from her and put it next to the mother. The girl looked different, she was really 'bird' like and had red hair and a lot of freckles. My sister and her friend left and I was left alone with the woman and the children. She told me she didn't like me picking up her child. I told her I would not ever do that, but my sister was dangerously picking her up, so I had to take the child and carry her to you. My sister was standing with her bike, she could have fallen. The woman agreed with me. I walked, or skated, with the woman around the neighborhood and than went home.

This was another broken sort of recall. I can't remember a whole lot before I got lucid, but I still managed to do so, so I'm happy!

I dream I'm in a house, and this house's interior is actually quite large. It looks like it could quite easily hold nearly two-hundred people. There is a large "ball room" for lack of better term, and there are tables and people all over partying and having a good time. My friends are dancing and partaking in a very odd game, which involves you driving a cart across a track and then smashing into a wall(yeah I'm as confused as you are).

Rather than partake in that, I leave the room and go out into the hall. There're many rooms all around the area, so I decide to investigate. I look around for awhile, until I walk into a bedroom where my three or four friends are sitting around. The only two I know were there for sure were my friends Jason and Robert. The other two were possibly my friends Zaine and Brad. Anyway, they were looking at Magic: The Gathering cards together, and as I acknowledge them I realize am dreaming. I now leave the room and explore the house until I awake. Unfortunate, but it was still quite the short gap between lucids for me in awhile.

April 27, 2014: FIRST LUCID DREAM: Last night after going to bed (in real life) we received a late night phone call. After getting back in bed and reciting my mantra “I will have a lucid dream tonight” I fell asleep for real.

In my dream I had yet to fall asleep after the phone call and was merely laying in bed thinking, when I grew concerned that my wife may have shut off the wall switch that controlled the power to my bedside lamp. Without getting out of bed, I tested this by pushing the switch on the lamp several times and indeed, it did not come on. This meant that if I needed the light to write in my dream journal later on, I’d have to get out of bed to turn the wall switch on, which I did not want to do as it would risk my recall. In my dream, I got out of bed and flipped the wall switch to “ON”. The bedside lamp did not come on...but this was possible because I wasn’t sure how many times I’d flipped the switch on the bedside lamp. All of this felt totally real. Hyper-real, in fact.

As I made my way by habit and feel from the wall switch near the bedroom door back to bed, I started to sense a growing anxiety or dread about being in our bedroom in the dark. I tried to turn the bedside lamp on, but it wouldn’t come on even though I had just assured myself it should come on because the wall switch power was definitely on. I appeared to be trapped in the dark, and in my dream I started to get anxious. I started to sense there was something wrong...something amiss...but I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I desperately wanted the light to come on, but had exhausted all possible remedies and didn’t know what to do next.

As my anxiety grew over the perplexing malfunctioning of the light, I had the realization...I’m DREAMING!!! This is a DREAM! That’s why the light switches don’t work! And of course...the excitement of being aware of the fact that I was experiencing my first lucid dream caused me to awake. The hyper-real experience of the dream and the joy I felt at having succeeded in having my first LD (no matter how short!) made this a most auspicious occasion!
